VLC Can not turn off

[danieljackson]

I can not turn of VLC in Linux Mint, I have uninstalled vlc and it is still listed in system resources.

In System monitor it is using up most of the cpu procsesses by at least 80% or more.

In system monitor it saids it is sleeping but the cpu is showing at least 40% in use which is slowing down the computer.

I have used "End Process" and it has not stopped the process.

Please tell me how to fix this problem.

Thanks Daniel

You could try

Code: Select all

killall vlc

in a terminal. Or try

Code: Select all

ps -e | grep -i VLC

The first 4 numbers you should see is the process "ID" number. Then

Code: Select all

kill -9 <insert the number here>

If you have uninstalled vlc, a reboot should clear everything. It sounds like a memory leak.
