VLC v 3.0.21 not starting
Doug Clark:
I can run vlc 3.0.18 just fine, but I cannot run any version of VLC past 3.0.18
Some type of window flashes on the screen and then goes away.
I suspect that some new library, or change in a library, has happened since 3.0.18 but I cannot figure out what.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance
Dave Yeo:
The usual, check popuplog.os2 in the root of your boot volume, and download chkdll and use it to check for DLLs.

Seems to me last time someone had a similar problem, it was libvpx, needed a legacy version IIRC.
Doug Clark:
Thanks Dave,

and when I try to run YUM or AOS package manager I get the message
database disk image is malformed
so I can't check any libraries.
Doug Clark:
Further info:
As for the YUM problem
I tried
yum clean all
yum clean metadata
yum clean dbcache
and
yum makecache
which returned
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/@unixroot/var/cache/yum/netlabs-rel/959a5

David Graser:
Hi Doug
What version of Arcaos are you using?
Are you installing over ver 3.0.18 or on a partition without any VLC version?
