celluloid, mpv, vlc won’t launch after latest full-upgrade

[anticapitalistaForum Admin]

mpv and celluloid (I don’t use vlc) working ok here on frugal antiX-19 (sysVinit).
Did you autoremove anything after full upgrade?

I just searched “Could not initialize EGL” on line. I found this:
http://groups.google.com/g/beagleboard/c/CfTSfP9xJrA

Try to addapt the procedure advised there (and also, please try using search engines to find how to solve problems before posting here- it’s a faster way for you to find the solution for most problems!).
If it does not work for you, post your results, so people can help debug your problem further…

It’s possible, I don’t remember but I always apt autoremove after apt full-pgrade

[anticapitalistaForum Admin]

OK, have a look in /var/log/apt/term.log or /var/log/apt/history.log (start at the bottom) and see which apps/libs got removed

If the context is console (not within an xsession, using a terminal emulator)
you can reconfigure the console font via the
console-font-select and/or console-width-select commands

I don’t remember but I think it was when installing nvidia legacy driver using smxi

[anticapitalistaForum Admin]

Try reinstalling all those xorg packages, reboot and see if it works.
Also, try another video file.

You also didn’t answer this question – Are you sure that mpv/celluloid stopped working after that upgrade?

yes I’m sure they stopped after that upgrade, also pulse become weird, like stopping after a while if no sound is outputted…

I reinstalled all those xorg modules, it didn’t do anything, those were removed a long time ago because they weren’t in use…

should i just reinstall antix?
