I installed VLC through terminal but it shows: bash: /snap/bin/vlc: No such file or directory I also tried: which vlc and it showed: /usr/bin/vlc When I try to run it through sudo su, it shows this error: VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry. If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports you can use vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and cannot be run by non-trusted users first). Any idea how I can fix this issue? I tried using the snap VLC package, which I installed using the terminal, but I couldn't navigate to my Downloads folder. I could only navigate in the "computer" folder, which consists of /bin, /usr, /var, etc. I was able to play the items of the folder I wanted by dragging and dropping. I'm also only able to open VLC through the terminal. Opening it through the start menu doesn't do anything. I'm using Zorin OS 16, which is based on Ubuntu 20.04, if I'm not wrong.
