It appears that starting with 0.9.0, VLC requires QT4 for a GUI Maybe my comment should go on a separate (new) bug. I suggest warning the user about the lack of GUI if the qt4 flag is not set; as a gnome user I had it disabled, and had to google around to found out why I couldn't see anything. Because of this: - there should be always a 0.8.* version in the tree for all those users that don't want to compile qt4 (which is not a small package to build); - if the qt4 use flag is disabled the ebuild shouldn't install any menu entry: portage should avoid that users launch via a menu entry an application that cannot be displayed. ~media-video/vlc-0.9.4 is no longer in tree. freezing X was probably a bug in xorg itself; please try if you can reproduce it with an up to date system and reopen if it still fails. |
