VLC nightly doesn't start: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module" / Fatal IO error 2
I was going to report a different bug. But first I had to try the latest nightly to check if it had already been fixed. Unfortunately I can't check that, because after installing the nightly via the PPA I can't even start VLC.
When I try to start it from the command line I get this output:
$ vlc
VLC media player 3.0.0-git Vetinari (revision 3.0.0~~git20171009+r71957+84~ubuntu17.04.1)
[000055ba52c0a0e0] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"
Gdk-Message: vlc: Fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server :0.
I've seen that "Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"" message before on some other app that still started after giving that error. Unfortunately I can't remember which.
I'm on Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 64 bit, running Xorg. Let me know if I can contribute with any more info.
