it seems vlc won't start with the qt interface, in fact it doesn't even start if i fire up cvlc so this seems to be build and not interface related, here are the useflags i installed vlc with: (-3dfx) X a52 aac -aalib alsa (-altivec) -arts -avahi -bidi -cdda -cddb -cdio -daap dbus -dc1394 -debug -directfb -dts -dvb dvd -esd -fbcon ffmpeg flac -ggi -gnome gnutls hal -httpd -id3tag jack -libcaca -libgcrypt -libnotify -lirc -live -lua -matroska mmx -modplug mp3 mpeg -musepack -musicbrainz ncurses nsplugin ogg opengl -optimisememory -oss png -pvr qt4 -rtsp -samba sdl -sdl-image -seamonkey -shout -skins speex sse stream svg (-svga) -taglib theora truetype -twolame -upnp -v4l -v4l2 vcd -vcdx -vlm vorbis (-win32codecs) -wxwindows x264 -xinerama xml -xosd -xulrunner xv this is the output from the cli: impulze@Istari ~ $ qvlc *************************************************** *** glibc version with broken libintl detected. *** *** Messages localization will be disabled. *** *************************************************** VLC media player 0.9.0-svn Grishenko [00000001] main libvlc debug: VLC media player - version 0.9.0-svn Grishenko - (c) 1996-2008 the VideoLAN team [00000001] main libvlc debug: libvlc was configured with ./configure '--prefix=/usr' '--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--localstatedir=/var/lib' '--libdir=/usr/lib64' '--disable-glide' '--enable-a52' '--disable-aa' '--enable-faad' '--enable-alsa' '--disable-altivec' '--disable-arts' '--disable-bonjour' '--disable-fribidi' '--disable-cdda' '--disable-cddax' '--disable-libcddb' '--disable-libcdio' '--disable-daap' '--enable-dbus' '--enable-dbus-control' '--disable-dirac' '--disable-directfb' '--disable-dc1394' '--disable-dca' '--disable-dv' '--disable-dvb' '--enable-dvdread' '--enable-dvdplay' '--enable-dvdnav' '--disable-esd' '--disable-fb' '--enable-ffmpeg' '--enable-flac' '--disable-fluidsynth' '--disable-galaktos' '--disable-ggi' '--disable-gnomevfs' '--enable-gnutls' '--enable-hal' '--disable-httpd' '--disable-id3tag' '--enable-jack' '--disable-caca' '--disable-libgcrypt' '--disable-notify' '--disable-libtar' '--disable-lirc' '--disable-live555' '--disable-lua' '--disable-mkv' '--enable-mmx' '--disable-mod' '--enable-mad' '--enable-libmpeg2' '--disable-mpc' '--disable-musicbrainz' '--enable-ncurses' '--enable-mozilla' 'XPIDL=/usr/lib64/mozilla-firefox' 'MOZILLA_CONFIG=/usr/lib64/mozilla-firefox/firefox-config' '--enable-ogg' '--enable-glx' '--enable-opengl' '--disable-optimize-memory' '--disable-oss' '--enable-png' '--disable-portaudio' '--disable-pvr' '--enable-qt4' '--disable-rtsp' '--disable-realrtsp' '--disable-smb' '--enable-sdl' '--disable-sdl-image' '--disable-shout' '--disable-skins2' '--enable-speex' '--enable-sse' '--enable-sout' '--enable-svg' '--disable-svgalib' '--disable-taglib' '--enable-theora' '--enable-freetype' '--disable-twolame' '--disable-upnp' '--disable-v4l' '--disable-v4l2' '--enable-vcd' '--disable-vcdx' '--enable-vorbis' '--disable-loader' '--disable-wxwidgets' 'WX_CONFIG=' '--enable-x11' '--enable-screen' '--enable-x264' '--disable-xinerama' '--enable-libxml2' '--disable-xosd' '--enable-xvideo' '--disable-xvmc' '--disable-zvbi' '--disable-libvc1' '--disable-snapshot' '--disable-growl' '--disable-pth' '--disable-optimizations' '--enable-utf8' '--enable-libtool' '--enable-fast-install' '--disable-vlm' '--build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' 'build_alias=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' 'host_alias=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe' [00000001] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

yep try enabling vlm, see http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/1431 and I dont see any error in vlc startup could you try building vlc with debug info and running it in gdb ? also perhaps vlc -vv --reset-plugins-cache will tell you whats wrong and I think no interface shows up because you disabled wxwindows and qt4 interface is currently broken without vlm
(In reply to comment #3) > > and I think no interface shows up because you disabled wxwindows and qt4 > interface is currently broken without vlm > You should add a vlc_use_needs qt4 vlm call to pkg_setup then.
My vlc starts up, but it forget any settings...?! (yes, the file ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc is writeable by this user.)
(In reply to comment #5) > My vlc starts up, but it forget any settings...?! > (yes, the file ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc is writeable by this user.) well, different issue and will need to be detailed more in another bug report. this one is fixed now
