Got a slight problem with vlc - just installed it and it doesn't play
videos - when I open avi file there is only audio from it and no
picture. Why is it so?

First place to look is the video output module in preferences.

In my experience, this has normally been a codec issue. However, read
Tim's reply and check your video output setting as well.

Are you using debian-multimedia? IIRC there was some conflict between the libav*
packages from debian-multimedia and the vlc provided by the official repos that
had similar symptoms. The fix was to roll your libav* packages back to the
official packages. According to debian-multimedia's front page new versions of
libav* that work with vlc are available in experimental.

Run vlc from the command line. That might show you what's missing.

The feeling of disgust at seeing a human female in a Relationship
with a chimp male is Homininphobia, and you should be ashamed of
yourself.
