What were you trying to do?
Watch a video with VLC media player (2.0.3)
What's wrong:
The only output, when vlc is run from a shell, is as follows:
~$ vlc
VLC media player 2.0.3 Twoflower (revision 2.0.2-93-g77aa89e)
[0xc4a108] main libvlc error: No plugins found! Check your VLC installation.
What should have happened:
VLC should have opened in a new window.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
After googling for answers, it seems that setting the
VLC_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable to /usr/lib/vlc/plugins
causes the desired behavior.
