Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).

Thanks!

A possible pointer was given at http://forum.videolan.org/:

Setting Video/Output Modules to X11 Video Ouput allows the player to start up OK.

Cleaning up xorg.conf entries as described at

also seems to work.

@gliptak, seems like this is a vlc problem and not synaptic. Anyway, did you solved your problem after you made this config update?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont (rdenis)]

Not a VLC bug. That said, you can work it around from VLC by changing the configuration. Also VLC 1.1 will automatically fail safe if the XVideo driver is broken like that.
