When running vlc 1.0.2 on Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit, I get a segmentation fault before anything really happens other than selecting choice of cover art. Christoph Korn is the packager and will be very interested if it relates to packaging. Thank you for any guidance on how to proceed.<br>

You may want to contact the developers directly.<br>
Some of them hang out at #videolan (FreeNode server).<br>
<br>
Tell me if the problem is caused by bad packaging. You can also contact me else as I am interested what the problem is :)<br>

When I tried this, I tried a few variations based on the output. The output<br>
past the point when I clicked my cover art choice is disappointingly brief.<br>
(Marked at ------------ below.)<br>
<br>
vlc changed something in opening config file (/home/steve/.config/vlc/vlcrc)<br>
when it was present that removed the message "qt4 interface debug: Error<br>
while initializing qt-specific localization" on subsequent runs. When I<br>
remove the /home/steve/.config/vlc/ directory) the message always occurs.<br>
The directory is not recreated.<br>
