Open a bash shell and run:

# ulimit -c unlimited; vlc; gdb /usr/bin/vlc core;

[Comment 2 Kai Damm 2012-03-23 15:30:25 UTC]

You seem to have an nVidia card. =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295* can cause this. If this is the case for you: Downgrade nvidia driver to 290*, or upgrade vlc to 2*.

In case the gdm log would be useful :

please try this then, from your log, the crash is in nvidia drivers.

[Comment 6 Maciej Mrozowski 2012-04-01 20:34:31 UTC]

Happens here as well.

[Comment 7 Tom Wijsman (TomWij) (RETIRED) 2013-12-15 21:56:57 UTC]

As per the segmentation fault this is a NVIDIA drivers problem; thus if we reopen this we should reassign this to the NVIDIA drivers maintainers, and an upstream bug report with NVIDIA should also be done then. So, as this bug is more than a year old: Can you still reproduce this with recent versions?
