vlc/smplayer crashes on gtk style

Post by half_blind2 »

Hi all,

I have a problem with vlc/smplayer crashing when the style of interface is set or changed to gtk, as they crash and do not implement the style.

I am using salix 15, have qt5-sty;eplugin installd, as well as gtk1/2/3/4.

Worked well on 14,2.

Did not do a fresh insttall, but upgraded, something I did with slackware 14.2 where gtk works.

I do not know what happened or how to fix, does anyone have any ideas.

What GTK theme are you using? Try switching to Adwaita.

Hi all

thanks for the reply; I have, or was switching from one theme to another, including the one mentioned.

I have other issues with salix 15 amyway, such as a slow startup, so salix 15 is on the back-burner, still use 14.2.

All the best

FWIW I placed the following within /etc/environment

Code: Select all

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2
Hope this help someone else.
