How to run VLC in Firstrib?

Hello, firstrib built successfully within scpup64...

I've installed VLC, which cannot be run as root. What would be the steps to make this possible in firstrib?

Tried adding user:puppy, but i understand too little about permissions to make this work.
Same after installing sudo with xbps.

Any help appreciated, thank you.

(edit: this was meant to be in the firstrib thread... reposted there, as i cannot delete this one.)

open a terminal and type ->

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc

this only needs to be done once

then start VLC
