This is the error I get trying to open vlc

VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be)
[0x9e37910] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0x9ec11d8] skins2 interface error: no suitable dialogs provider found (hint: compile the qt4 plugin, and make sure it is loaded properly)
[0x9ec11d8] skins2 interface error: cannot instantiate qt4 dialogs provider
[0x9ec11d8] [cli] lua interface: Listening on host "*console".
VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind
Command Line Interface initialized. Type `help' for help.

I tried completely uninstalling and re-installing vlc, tried resetting config, but the same error remains

I followed the answers of the below two questions, but it didn't work

VLC completely stopped working

upgraded to 14.04 LTS, VLC is not working

It seems the problem is with QT. Try reinstalling it. (or installing if not yet).

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
