Created attachment 554946 [details] VLC crash backtrace VLC started to crash a few days ago after a world and kernel update. This is what happens when launching vlc from command line: Videos> vlc video.mkv VLC media player 3.0.4 Vetinari (revision 3.0.4-0-gf615db6332) [00005579baff05f0] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.

The difference is that I do not update that other machine as frequently as I update the one where the crash happens, so since both have the same VLC version and kernel it may have something to do the VLC dependencies. Due to the output of the crash that states "libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate" I suspect the culprit may be among the he above dependencies with that versions, but that is just a guess.

Created attachment 554960 [details] CORRECT VLC backtrace My first backtrace was not correct, now it is ok I guess.
Today I decided to install MPV in my machine. There is no crash, it works, and this is the output when I launch a video: Videos> mpv video.mkv Playing: video.mkv (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 854x480 29.970fps) (+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=eng (*) (aac 2ch 48000Hz) File tags: Title: Dark Money - RMTeam, RMZ.cr libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate [vo/opengl] Suspected software renderer or indirect context.

Just to note that I am also suddenly seeing this same problem, media-video/vlc-3.0.4 dying with a SEGV on every attempt at use. It dumps a very large core file (96MB or larger) if allowed to. It seems to have started sometime within the last few days but I cannot correlate it to a specific change or update because I do not use VLC every day.
UPDATE: On my system I found that this crash was caused by the installed version of x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers being used by X11 being a different version than the version loaded by the running kernel, because x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers had updated since the machine was last rebooted. Rebooting to sync the loaded kernel graphics driver to the installed version fixed the problem.
Is this fixed in 3.0.7.1?
