Re: VLC
Without more info, nobody will be able to help you. How did you install VLC? Did you upgrade it recently? What theme are you using?
Did you check in the preferences, did something change?

Re: VLC
Likely the same issue I had which was easily fixed by adding to the file /etc/environment and rebooting (or logout/in).
Code: Select all

Re: VLC (Solved)
Since it only affects some machines, I think finding out if commonalities in video hardware and driver could be helpful. That can be easily discovered by installing inxi and running "inxi -G" as a standard user. The desktop environment could also be a factor.

Re: VLC (Solved)
Thanks all, i am curious enough to dig into this. Thanks for the leads. Now VLC works i want to know why. I have not been using Linux for 4 or 5 years.
As MS started nagging me the last moth with every boot that there is something wrong with my account, which i do not have and do not want to have, i decided to switch to Debian.
I have been using Debian from Potato, server and desktop. Noticed now that my knowledge faded away a bit.. Also noticed that Debian became more user friendly the last years. But it is not a nobrainer. I like that.
Thanks again.

Re: VLC (Solved)
Dai_trying , i read your link of the VLC forum. Should have looked there before asking here. Sorry for that. Have to learn to use my brains again. Any way i now know what caused the problems.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
