Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mozilla-plugin-vlc
When you try view something that plays through the VLC plugin, it crashes with the following error: /opt/google/chrome/chrome --type=plugin --plugin-path=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so --lang=en-US --channel=3040.0xe373420.1825996355: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so: undefined symbol: NPP_Initialize This problem has been patched over in gentoo, it seems. I don't know if this patch has trickled upstream yet, but it has definitely not trickled downstream to Ubuntu. This is a showstopped of a crash since it makes VLC unusable in firefox 4, chrome, and chromium. The patch is there on the gentoo bug tracker page: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361263 I am using Kubuntu 11.04 and KDE 4.6.4 and VLC 1.1.9 The version of mozilla-plugin-vlc is 1.1.9-1ubuntu1.1 Also, discussion of the bug can be found on the VLC forums here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=90239 ** Affects: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/797821 Title: Browser plugin crashes with symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libvlcplugin.so: undefined symbol: NPP_Initialize To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/797821/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
