Same problem here on 16.04. I'm wild-guessing that's Qt and Nvidia proprietary drivers related problem, because it's not hapenning on my laptop which has been cloned and have no Nvidia drivers.
Last line of my trace is: 0x00007fffde69225b in QFont::QFont(QFont const&) () from /usr/lib/x86_64 -linux-gnu/libQt5Gui.so.5 Do you have Nvidia drivers installed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602361 Title: Immediate crash when starting vlc To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1602361/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
