Bug Description
Binary package hint: vlc
VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus
The program '.' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 472 error_code 11 request_code 148 minor_code 5)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
To post a comment you must log in.
Above messages are seen on stdout after running vlc on the commandline.
Vlc does not even show any GUI, it simply seems to crash.
I noticed vlc stopped working after an automatic upgrade today of xserver:
xserver-xorg-core (2:1.3. 0.0.dfsg- 12ubuntu8) to 2:1.3.0. 0.dfsg- 12ubuntu8. 2
When above xerver version is forced back to 8, vlc works again.
So the bug might also be in xserver iso vlc.
