I cannot install vlc-nox.



I am using the following commands:



sudo -i
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install vlc vlc-nox


And I obtain:



root@Nt08:~# apt-get install vlc vlc-nox
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package vlc-nox
root@Nt08:~#


I also removed and reinstall vlc but again I get the same: Unable to locate package vlc-nox.



Any help will be very valuable!
Thank you!

    if your plan is to run vlc without gui you it can be run in a headless server vlc -I http --http-port 8888 --http-password 12345 then access it with http://localhost:8888

In my 16.04 LTS system, vlc-nox is installed from the repository universe.



$ apt-cache policy vlc-nox
vlc-nox:
Installerad: 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4
Kandidat: 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4
Versionstabell:
*** 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4 500

500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/universe i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.2.2-5 500
500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe i386 Packages


  • Please check that you have enabled the repository universe.


  • Things may be different in other versions, so if you have enabled the repository universe, and still cannot find vlc-nox, it is probably not available for your version of Ubuntu.


Edit in response to your comment:



I have a test system with Ubuntu 17.10. Only vlc is available via the repository universe, but not vlc-nox. Also @Drakonoved's answer about separate deb packages indicates that there is no such package for your version of Ubuntu.

Vlc is now packaged differently, there is no longer a vlc-nox package. The various vlc binaries are in the vlc-bin package.

    In my 16.04 LTS system, vlc-nox is installed from the repository universe.



    $ apt-cache policy vlc-nox
    vlc-nox:
    Installerad: 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4
    Kandidat: 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4
    Versionstabell:
    *** 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4 500
    500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/universe i386 Packages
    500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/universe i386 Packages
    100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
    2.2.2-5 500
    500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe i386 Packages


    • Please check that you have enabled the repository universe.


    • Things may be different in other versions, so if you have enabled the repository universe, and still cannot find vlc-nox, it is probably not available for your version of Ubuntu.


    Edit in response to your comment:



    I have a test system with Ubuntu 17.10. Only vlc is available via the repository universe, but not vlc-nox. Also @Drakonoved's answer about separate deb packages indicates that there is no such package for your version of Ubuntu.

    • @lookingforanswers, Sorry, in 17.10 only the package vlc is available via the repository universe, but not vlc-nox.

    • Thank you for your response. In that case the conclusion is that vlc-nox cannot operate in ubuntu 17.10.

    • @lookingforanswers, There are alternatives (to play music without a graphical user interface). If you tell us how you intended to use vlc-nox, I think we can help you get something that works.

    Vlc is now packaged differently, there is no longer a vlc-nox package. The various vlc binaries are in the vlc-bin package.
