    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

    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
