Your VLC install is probably wrong.

vlc --list will tell you.

Hi, is this still a problem in Intrepid up-to-date?
Does a reinstall of vlc resolve this?

If not, could you run "vlc -v2" in a maximized terminal, reproduce, copy->paste the output into a text file and attach to this report?

Thanks

This also affects me. I was using vlc with mediamvp to stream video and audio on Kubuntu Hardy. Now with Intrepid, it doesn't work.

The most visible error is:
inhibit error: Failed to connect to the D-Bus session daemon: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

The log and list are attached.

Same here

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

does removing your ~/.vlc folder help here?

[dasbooter (davejph)]

Deleted .vlc

I have still similiar

after command (this is from a intrepid server meant to rebroadcast a set top box tv stream across the internet):

vlc --list gives:
