Thx

I find it odd that you are running this from the root directory ("/"). Then it is saying that home directory is not accessible. I would look into that first ...

I think it's something connected to the folder permission , or something. For as the root VLC does not work , there added a User and is giving this error.

Does anyone have any tips to create the User and give the appropriate permissions ?

Tried vlc a number of times and always had problems with it I just use mplayer and ffmpeg, they just seem to 'just work'

Read the useradd man page and then check what defaults useradd uses in your distro. In the distro im using the default useradd config is in /etc/default/useradd.

Just out of curiosity have you tried starting vlc in command line mode? That might help eliminate permissions as a problem. To start it with the command line interface type "cvlc" in a term window and hit enter.

I recompilling vlc using flag --enable-run-as-root.
And... now, other error:

[0000000001955f98] core interface error: corrupt module: /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/lua/liblua_plugin.so
Assertion 't->dynamic' failed at pulsecore/tagstruct.c:88, funcion extend(). Aborting.

I recompiled LUA, but not working.
I reinstall pulse and start server.

Help?

Do many people use LFS long term?


I know VLC will not run under any root situations...

Sorry, not undertand you question..?

I compiling using flag --enable-run-as-root its run root user.
In Other users also do NOT work

Yes! A number of regular contributers to this forum do and presumably many more, I myself have been using LFS/BLFS as my main desktop system for a number of years now and would never go back to a bloated mainline distro.

I have built VLC (without QT) without running into any issues. I followed BLFS and also took hints from Arch build (https://projects.archlinux.org/svnto...h=packages/vlc) and Slackware (http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/multimedia/vlc/). Looking through these might provide additional hints. I'll have to look up exactly what I did, but I did succeed.

I've recently converted from Slackware to LFS. Ask me again in a year, but I have no plan to go back to any mainline distro either. I can always find something I don't like about the way other people do things.

Maybe you can recompile without LUA and see if that works? I think I built mine without LUA extension...

It's been well over ten years since I'v looked at LFS. Before posting my second link I read around thinking to find that it is to learn by and not for long term use\security but guess that changed, tho I do wonder how many are "secure" or more so?

That was my initial thoughts too before actually trying LFS, that it was somehow an incomplete system only for learning purposes. But after trying it out, I found it is surprisingly complete and very functional. In terms of security, as long as you have an up-to-date packages, is it not as secure as any other distro? I would think the security comes with the packages (or the patches from the package developers).

There is also HLFS, focused more on security...
