  • VLC 3 Won't Start

The applications that I install from Software Center like VLC and Handbrake do not open when I click their icons. Pre-installed applications like firefox, LibreOffice, Disks, Thunderbird etc work fine. only the applications I install don't open.



When I type vlc in terminal I get these messages:



skins2 interface error: cannot instantiate dialogs provider
