My vlc has lost its gui after an upgrade to fedora29. dnf shows that vlc.x86_64 vlc-core.x86_64 vlc-devel.x86_64 vlc-extras.x86_64 all installed.
Running from the command line segfaults:
*olin@lenolin:~$ vlc*
*VLC media player 3.0.7.1 Vetinari (revision 3.0.7.1-0-gf3940db4af)*
*[0000557a71a64590] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.*
*Segmentation fault (core dumped)*
However the default interface worked, but it has no control, and the only exit I found was to crash the program. The video and sound played at full screen mode despite the error messages.
*cvlc 'Killing Eve S01E01.mp4'*
*VLC media player 3.0.7.1 Vetinari (revision 3.0.7.1-0-gf3940db4af)*

Incidentally libvdpau-1.1.1-11.fc29.x86_64 is already installed.
