Did you try opening through Dash ? What happens when you try ? — user227495, Sep 03 '17 at 11:51
All display drivers in order ? Did you check " Additional Drivers " option through Dash ? — user227495, Sep 03 '17 at 18:35
I removed amdgpu-pro drivers and now vlc works, but now I can't reproduce mkv videos — ScTALE, Sep 04 '17 at 14:20
Yes, I can open them, but the videos isn't fluently. It lags a lot. — ScTALE, Sep 04 '17 at 14:23
