Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and that's all folks.
previously it complained about gst-plugins-bad so i installed it .. checked gstreamer in package manager and added a few more packs there and the error disappeared. but from there i searched for such an error and nothing came up . Ideas ?

Thanks ric

You may not have installed the Mint codec pack. FIre up the terminal and copy/paste these linues separatelly and run them:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

Code: Select all

sudo apt install mint-meta-codecs

removing the package gstreamer1.0-vaapi solves it as far as SoundConverter is concerned.
works for me.

it's certainly something to look into.
