Re: VLC
Rule of Thumb
When you get a mysterious error/no start/no audio/no video with the gui, use the cli.
With the cli you usually get the full error message and then you could do a net search with the error message.
With the VLC:
rog131@alpha:~$ vlc
VLC media player 1.1.7 The Luggage (revision exported)
...
Blocked: call to putenv("LANGUAGE=")
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running.
