I just did a live upgrade from LEAP 42.3 to LEAP 15.0 and I’m experiencing vlc issues
trying to open any video file I get seg fault
> vlc video.mkv
VLC media player 3.0.2 Vetinari (revision 3.0.2-0-gd7b653cf14)
[0000557a46cd6c70] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[00007f58dc001f70] egl_x11 gl error: cannot select OpenGL API
libva info: VA-API version 1.0.0

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
it turns out the vdpau decoder has been put in a separate package that did not get installed after installing vlc-vdpau and setting vdpau as the preferred backend vlc works but I still get errors

I have a geforce 240 with the G03 driver from nvidia installed
I’m writing this to see if any other users have this issue or maybe it was caused by the live upgrade as I did notice a few other hiccups like susefirewall2 being still installed and active and firewalld being disabled and the icons on the pinned apps on the plasma 5 menu bar being gone
any ideas are welcomed
