When I am trying to open a media file in VLC 2.0, my system is getting logout automatically.

Steps:
1. Open VLC.
2. Go to Media -> Open File.
3. Select the file to open
4. System will logout as soon as you select open file.

Does it happen when starting VLC without any file to open? Does it happen when playing an audio-only media?

It looks to me that your X server crashes. In that case, it's not a VLC bug.

1. It does not happen when playing an audio-only media file.

2. No does not happen when starting VLC without any file to open.

3. It's only happening with Video file.

Then it seems like a x server crash issue.

Do I need raise another bug or change this bug?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont (rdenis)]

I have reassigned the bug. But unless you're able to provide useful X logs and stack traces, it is unlikely that the Xorg maintainers will be able to do anything.

Waiting for upstream to fix this issue. Let me know if you need any other logs to debug the issue.
Please provide the steps to collect it.

Applied the work around mentioned in the base bug and it's working fine.

W/A: Added following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

    Section "Extensions"
        Option "XVideo" "Disable"
    EndSection
