Package: vlc Version: 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 Severity: normal When giving a path with directories to the --config command line argument, the configuration of vlc will not be saved. vlc does not create the directories in the path so the file can't be created.
Try: $ vlc --config=~/.vlc/myconfig If the directory .vlc does not exist, the configuration is not saved. No error message is shown to the user. As an annoying aside, each time vlc is started in this situation, the user is asked to choose the album art download policy. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers jaunty-updates APT policy: (500, 'jaunty-updates'), (500, 'jaunty-security'), (500, 'jaunty') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages vlc depends on: ii libaa1 1.4p5-37build1 ascii art library ii libc6 2.9-4ubuntu6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.12-0ubuntu2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-4ubuntu0.1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfribidi0 0.10.9-1 Free Implementation of the Unicode ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-5ubuntu4 GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-g 7.4-0ubuntu3.1 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 The GLib library of C routines ii libglu1-mesa 7.4-0ubuntu3.1 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.1-0ubuntu2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnotify1 [l 0.4.5-0ubuntu1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libqtcore4 4.5.0-0ubuntu4.1 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4.5.0-0ubuntu4.1 Qt 4 GUI module ii libsdl-image1 1.2.6-3 image loading library for Simple D ii libsdl1.2debi 1.2.13-4ubuntu3 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-5ubuntu4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtar 1.2.11-5ubuntu1 C library for manipulating tar arc ii libvlccore0 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 base library for VLC and its modul ii libx11-6 2:1.1.99.2-1ubuntu2 X11 client-side library ii libx264-65 1:0.svn20081230-0.0ubuntu1 x264 video coding library ii libxext6 2:1.0.99.1-0ubuntu3 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxv1 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Video extension library ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii ttf-dejavu-co 2.28-1 Vera font family derivate with add ii vlc-nox 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 multimedia player and streamer (wi ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12ubuntu2 compression library - runtime vlc recommends no packages.
