Si lo ejecutan desde línea de comandos encontrarán el mensaje:
[hecsa@sdf1 ~]$ vlc
VLC media player 2.2.2 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.2-0-g6259d80)
[000000000062d148] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Y si lo ejecutan en modo verborrágico:
[hecsa@sdf1 ~]$ vlc -v
VLC media player 2.2.2 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.2-0-g6259d80)

La solución? Bien sencilla: hay que instalar algunos paquetes que los genios que armaron el instalable del VLC no pusieron como dependencias:
[root@sdf1 ~]# pacman -S community/projectm community/projectm-jack community/projectm-libvisual community/projectm-pulseaudio community/projectm-qt community/projectm-test community/libgoom2 community/twolame
Luego, abrimos de nuevo el querido VLC, y funciona. Los espero en la próxima entrega de "los garfios mágicos".
