This one really annoys me. Until its fixed you can use the following workaround:
$ cd ~ $ mkdir .scripts $ cd .scripts $ nano vlcdir (paste this:) #!/bin/bash cd "$1" vlc * press CTRL+X, Y $ chmod +x vlcdir $ sudo nano /etc/profile (add this to the end, use your username) PATH=$PATH:/home/username/.scripts export PATH ----------- Now do a reboot and you will be able to open directories by using the vlcdir script. -- VLC freezes when you try to open a directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311985 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
