Leap 42.1 VLC Segmentation Fault

Speedy624 · 12-25-2016, 11:07 AM

I use Leap 42.1 and after an update VLC has stopped working. When I try to run the program via the terminal it say Segmentation fault.

I was asked to run 'zypper lr -d' and 'zypper se -si vlc' at the freenode iRC channel and then told uninstall and reinstall, how this has done nothing to help.

How can I fix this as i'm clueless?

Code:

zypper lr -d

you did not set the repo priories !!!!

and now have a royal mess
( this is documented in the suse wiki documentation and the use of third party repos
and in the packman repo documentation

also WHY is the install dvd a listed and TURNED ON repo ?

Quote:

dvd | dvd | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes

also you have an ANTIQUE second version of packman repo
"ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/suse/"

that German language repo is from 2009

remove the install dvd repo
and use the gui "software management "
to search by repo and remove WITH VENDER CHANGE all packmap installed rpm's

you WILL need to look at the version installed in the "versions tab" window and MAKE SURE that oss and suse are the ones used!!!!
then uninstall BOTH packman repos and update

teinstall just the current packmad repo and SET the prioroty to 95
and install vlc

How do i do the above? Am i removing all my programs or just VLC? I don't understand how to remove with vendor change.

Hi.
So I would strongly encourage you to read the wiki that JohnVV has made some mention of.

The other thing that I would encourage you to do is read the man pages for zypper with regards to organizing and removing unnecessary repos.
I think that is what you are asking in how to do if I am not mistaken.

According to man zypper,

Code:

removerepo (rr) [options] alias|name|#|URI...
           Delete repositories specified by aliases, names, numbers or URIs

so to remove repos, you do the following:

Code:

zypper rr 7

don't forget to

Code:

zypper ref

Also, the 3rd thing that I'd encourage you to do is download a zypper cheat sheat. Many of them on the net.
