Your command didn't work.
Hi Saif Rehman, update you sources.list
After changing sources.list, it worked fine.
it works
sed -i ‘s/geteuid/getppid/g’ /usr/bin/vlc
remove the quotes so it becomes
sed -i s/geteuid/getppid/g /usr/bin/vlc
it’ll work
sed -i ‘s/geteuid/getppid/g’ /usr/bin/vlc
did not work, i have the latest updates,
sed -i ‘s/geteuid/getppid/g’ /usr/bin/vlc
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `�’
sed -i ‘s/geteuid/getppid/g’ /usr/bin/vlc
Thanks your work for me IAN
i cannot run the 'apt-get update' command in terminal
update your source list and retry with sudo apt-get update if you are not root.
You get a lot of respect from me for writing these helpful ariselct.
opened vlc
but getting little burled video green color spots..
retry the installation after cleaning your source list.
Thank you so much! It worked like a charm 😀
