Hi.
I use KDE 4.9.4 Plasma on Fedora 17 x86. I get an error with VLC Player. For example if I play a movie for a long time and I'm trying to close VLC Player, the reporting tool from Fedora says that it crashed. It's not a big problem to click a few times so the tool would ignore the bug, but it's annoying to do this every time. The error is "A problem in the vlc-core-2.0.5-l.fc17 package has been detected". The title of the report is: "Process /usr/bin/vlc was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)". First time I saw the problem was in 2.0.4 version (when I started using Fedora) and still exists in 2.0.5. It does that on any movie type I tested. Here is the info generated by the reporting tool:
Btw, I don't care if it's some sensitive information from my computer in this logs, all I care is to help you guys find the problem... Why am I reporting here instead of VLC Player's forum? Because when I tried there they said: "Well known bug in QtDbus, No solution possible on VLC side." and "It happens whenever VLC is run from KDE environment." What can I do to solve the problem...? Thank you. Regards, Cosmin |

Unfortunately that backtrace does not indicate in the slightest where the bug may lie.
That it lies within Qt's D-Bus support is fairly certain however, and it is quite possible that the Qt Platform Plugin which KDE provides is causing this in some manner. Without more information on what it is trying to do however, it will be impossible to debug. Can you provide the output that VLC prints prior to it crashing? This may indicate what the platform plugin is trying to do.

Thank you .
But unfortunately I don't use VLC Player anymore (partly because of this bug). For a while I waited for a fix (or at least for a reply like yours). After that I switched to another video player. But if you want me to help find the problem I will give it a try... Now I'm using Fedora 18 i686 and KDE 4.9.5. |

Another player also fixes the issue
Feel free to repost to this thread again in the future if you'd like to investigate this issue.
