I have installed vlc 1.1.9 on wubi installed Ubuntu 11.04 using Ubuntu Software Center. Now when i tried playing videos in vlc (any format)

  • full screen mode doesnt show controls and usually doesnt gets me out to
    window mode. it sometimes crashes to login screen.

I tried the video output to 'X11 output mode' and 'XVideo output (XCB)' but the above problem persists and also bring another problem.

  • full screen mode doesnt responds always
  • when it does, it shows the video over the desktop instead of inside the player. the only way to get ubuntu to function normally is to restart the system.

I tried with not using the 'Embed video in interface' but still the same problem. vlc runs perfectly well in windows. How can i make vlc function properly on my system or i need to install another player?

My system config is:

  • Graphics: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
  • Processor: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+
  • RAM: 1.5GB
  • Motherboard Name: MS-7181 (MSI)
