Comment 4 for bug 261001

I'm using a different pc now, and I have the same problem over here. It's also Ubuntu 8.10 with vlc 0.9.4. I have attached the output from verbose mode. I did not manage to do the backtrace. Instead of crashing, vlc now hangs (The video doesn't play. I can still use the progressbar and the play/pause/stop/... buttons but I don't see any video, and the time does not change, it stays at 00:00/1:15:32). After it hangs I tried ctrl-c as suggested in your link, but it just shows "^C" and I don't see the (gdm) prompt anymore and the additional commands "backtrace full",etc. don't seem to work.
