Created attachment 128925 [details] Command in VLC menu "Properties for vlc.desktop" SUMMARY The VLC application sometimes don't open when I click in VLC icon or I try open a video by VLC. No error is shown. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Obs: it hasn't a pattern to reproduce this problem, it occurs in aleatory moments more frequently after I has open many videos. 1. Click in the VLC icon to run it, or click in a video file to show it in VLC. 2. The clock pointer works for a little moment, but VLC doesn't open. 3. Observe in the System Monitor application a zombie VLC process. 4. It only open if restart or logoff/login in Neon. OBSERVED RESULT The VLC application doesn't open and no error appears. EXPECTED RESULT The VLC application shoud appear. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A) I know that the command to run VLC in Neon is "/usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file %U" (in "Edit application > Application" popup from VLC in Application Menu). If I edit it to "/usr/bin/vlc" the problem disappears. But it is a workaround solution. If I run "vlc" or "/usr/bin/vlc" in terminal it works too. B) I didn't found the exact product and component to select for specify this bug, sorry if it has incorrect options.
