vlc immediately crashes.

Hi,
When I run vlc (a video viewer), I get a crash. If I run it from the command line, I get:
$ vlc --help
VLC media player 3.0.0-git Vetinari (revision 2.2.0-git-8844-g03975b3)
vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--dbus'
Try `vlc --help' for more information.
I imagine it is some sort of configuration problem. I have deleted "~/.config/vlc" and there is no "~/.vlc". I am running ubuntu 18.04.5.
