| Guest_6 | Greetings. | 20:26 |
| Guest_6 | Does anyone have experience with VLC crashing Lubuntu? | 20:26 |
| wxl | which version? | 20:27 |
| Guest_6 | 18.04 | 20:27 |
| wxl | old huh :/ | 20:28 |
| Guest_6 | I installed using synaptic package manager, completely uninstalled and installed via terminal. Same crash result. | 20:28 |
| Guest_6 | 18.04.3 LTS | 20:29 |
| wxl | so you're just opening vlc on its own and not opening a particular file? | 20:30 |
| Guest_6 | yes | 20:30 |
| wxl | i see no bugs here (limited to those tagged with bionic) that include such a description | 20:30 |

| wxl | used=&field.has_no_blueprints=on | 20:30 |
| wxl | omg | 20:31 |
| Guest_6 | It will use up the entire swap file, crash, with the error message that is has run out of memory | 20:31 |
| wxl | launchpad i hate you XD | 20:31 |
| wxl | https://v.gd/tLekNk | 20:32 |
| wxl | i've not heard of anyone having problems with newer versions, either. might be better to go with a newer version anyways. | 20:32 |
| wxl | is there a crash report in /var/crash? | 20:33 |
| wxl | do you get any output when running in terminal? | 20:33 |
| Guest_6 | running vlc from terminal gives an error and goes on to say it is ignoring it | 20:33 |
| wxl | which error? | 20:34 |
| Guest_6 | where is that logged? | 20:34 |
| wxl | it's not necessarily logged. the output itself may be the only indication of the error. | 20:34 |
| Guest_6 | ah | 20:34 |
| Guest_6 | well if I start it up I will have to wait about 5 minutes for it to crash before I can back to you | 20:35 |
| wxl | it takes 5 minutes to crash? with you just sitting there idling? | 20:35 |
| Guest_6 | yes, watching a solid HD light | 20:35 |
| wxl | are you limited on memory? | 20:35 |
| Guest_6 | no | 20:35 |
| Guest_6 | on boot I only use ~300m | 20:36 |
| Guest_6 | out of 1.5Gb | 20:36 |
| Guest_6 | HTOP reveals that it slowly uses all the RAM and then the swap | 20:37 |
| wxl | yeah it's weird that i can't find any similar bug report | 20:38 |
| Guest_6 | I'll run it to get the crash msg. brb in about 5 minutes | 20:38 |
| wxl | ok | 20:38 |
| Guest_6 | (vlc:2555) dbind-warning** 15.39.41.477: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files Qapplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it. | 20:50 |
| Guest_6 | that was the error in terminal | 20:50 |
| wxl | yeah sadly that's not that big of a deal | 20:51 |
| Guest_6 | After about 5 minutes I get vlc terminates because of memory | 20:51 |
| wxl | is there an error in /var/crash? | 20:51 |
| Guest_6 | let me look | 20:51 |
| wxl | s/error/report/ | 20:51 |
| Guest_6 | uh...yeah. Its huge. How do I post that here? | 20:52 |
| wxl | !pastebinit | 20:53 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit | 20:53 |
| wxl | but | 20:53 |
| wxl | there may be some private memory information in there | 20:53 |
| wxl | so you might not want to | 20:53 |
| wxl | you can file a bug with it though that will set it to private | 20:54 |
| Guest_6 | This is a fairly fresh install | 20:54 |
| Guest_6 | I don't see anything upon first glance that would compromise this PC | 20:55 |
| wxl | you could do `ubuntu-bug /var/crash/filename` | 20:55 |
| Guest_6 | installing pastebin | 20:58 |
| Guest_6 | Here is what I got using your last suggestion: | 21:02 |
| Guest_6 | (apport-gtk:1776): dbind-WARNING **: 16:00:11.861: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service filesGtk-Message: 16:00:14.441: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discourage | 21:02 |
| Guest_6 | and.... | 21:02 |
| Guest_6 | the vlc memory error even though I have rebooted and not started vlc | 21:03 |
| Guest_6 | I've used VLC for years without a problem. This is out of left field for me. | 21:03 |
| Guest_6 | why would the "ubuntu-bug" command cause the same memory error as the starting vlc? | 21:04 |
| Guest_6 | Thank you for your time | 21:11 |
| Guest_6 | I will be back after I play around with it a bit more tomorrow. | 21:11 |
