How to run VLC in Firstrib?

#1 Post by westwest »

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
