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

Re: VLC Can not turn off
You could try in a terminal. Or try The first 4 numbers you should see is the process "ID" number. Then If you have uninstalled vlc, a reboot should clear everything. It sounds like a memory leak.
Code: Select all
killall vlc
Code: Select all
ps -e | grep -i VLC
Code: Select all
kill -9 <insert the number here>
