Vlc refusing to run No response


Hi, I have a situation with Vlc I have two computers running Linux Mint 21.1
one runs Vlc ok the other will not run Vcl at all.

Just found a solution, looking at the system monitor I had a vlc application running in background (don't know how i achieved it) but killing all vlc related items running, vlc started to work again.

Sometimes all you need is to try to explain to someone what the problem is helps to bring focus to the problem.

great, in that case you might want to mark the thread as solved.

I have the same problem with VLC every once in awhile. You are not alone. I don't do anything 'special' either. Just happens. After killing the 'background' VLC process and all is back to normal.... Until the next time .
