20.10: vlc crashes with seg fault when a video should be played

[DarkTrick]

When I try to play "any" video vlc crashes with a seg fault.

Tested:
- mkv + h.264
- mp4 + h.264
- wmv

Maybe it's a good idea to choose a different vlc release for the repos?

Please provide the output of vlc -vvv and the backtrace.

How do I create a backtrace?

The attachment from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1889052/comments/6 was done by using `bt full` only.

The attachment here in this post was done as explained in your link.

For both backtraces I couldn't get the debug symbols to work. Maybe the debug symbols for the `mesa-something` package already helps?

DarkTrick, Ubuntu 20.04 now has mesa 21.2.6-0ubuntu0.1~20.04.2 , can you try it, is this still an issue for you?
