    VLC Snap not loading Ubuntu 24.04

    Hi All,

    While trying to run the VLC snap in 24.04 I get the issue while running in terminal.

    Code:
    /usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids: No such file or directory
    amdgpu: unknown (family_id, chip_external_rev): (148, 8)
    libGL error: failed to create dri screen
    libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi

    Are you using Wayland? If so you could try setting "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland" and test

    Re: VLC Snap not loading Ubuntu 24.04

    Any updates on this, seems the VLC snap is broken for Ubuntu 24.04 (using wayland):

    running
    QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland vlc
    gives the same output

    /usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids: No such file or directory
    amdgpu: unknown (family_id, chip_external_rev): (146, 32)

    It's the fontconfig that's causing the seg fault.
    Try
    Code:
    sudo rm /var/cache/fontconfig/*
    rm ~/.cache/fontconfig/*
    fc-cache -r
    from here: https://github.com/keshavbhatt/olivi...ment-774747492

    Cool Re: VLC Snap not loading Ubuntu 24.04

    Hi All
    New install of Ubuntu 24.04 studio and now vlc has choppy playback on all files.
    I setup a new user due to issues with tabs focusing to the right all the time and the new install is just the same.
    Tried the usual change the playback to X11 and such.
    Uninstalled the player and used the snap version.
    Run the code from this thread ( thank you) and at least it starts but still choppy.
    My desktop is basic plasma and X11.

    this from the command line:
    [00007434d4c07a60] main decoder error: Timestamp conversion failed for 57100001: no reference clock
    [00007434d4c07a60] main decoder error: Could not convert timestamp 0 for FFmpeg

    ********************************************
    There was a lot of this.


    Any more ideas?
    Cheers Bob
