It will be much easier to give relevant advice, if you tell us the specs of the computer. We have brand name and model, but the components might vary, so please give us data about - CPU - RAM (size) - graphics card/chip. I think the reason VLC works is that it is not using the general libraries, instead it comes with static (built in) libraries. Maybe it will also help to install the restricted extras (a meta-package with software, that Ubuntu is not allowed to distribute, but the end user is allowed to download) sudo apt-get install lubuntu-restricted-extras Good luck :-) Nio -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
