Bug Description
Binary package hint: ibus
When I run vlc to see a movie with Windows-1251 subtitles, the vlc shows following error:
[0x7f709c05dd50] subsdec decoder error: failed to convert subtitle encoding.
Try manually setting a character-encoding before you open the file.
Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContex
Warning: call to rand()
and the text of the subtitles is shown as question marks. If I remove the ibus and all it's libraries, the VLC works properly.
My guess is that the ibus did not start on boot, thus I am filing the bug against ibus.
