Please bear w/ me as I’m pretty new to Linux and still learning every day. I installed Opensuse 13.2 and tried to install VLC using the Pacman repo shortly thereafter. Installation seemed to go okay, but whenever I try to open VLC nothing happens. When I try to use the “start” menu, I get a bouncing traffic cone, but the program doesn’t load. I also don’t get any errors that pop up this way. When I try to load the program via the Konsole I get the following error. I’m pretty stumped on how to fix this and was hoping someone can help me out.

My bad about not using code tags. They should be working now. I tried both commands and this is my output when I try to launch VLC via Konsole: I restarted my computer so I can’t give you my original output with the commands. It did appear that everything loaded correctly and I didn’t notice any error messages. I ran the commands after reboot and listed the outputs below.

Nothing to do.
Did you update your openSUSE, there wore a few Qt updates the current vlc was build with the newish Qt it won’t work with the old out of the box library’s.
do a zypper up and update your system.
