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

 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.

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

            Which professions warranted travel in Medieval times?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 54 down vote favorite 15 I'm trying to come up with characters whose backgrounds allow them to have homes, histories, and skills, but will still enable or encourage them to travel in a typical medieval setting. I've never really liked "Adventurer" as a job, and would like my story to have a kind of unlikely-hero vibe. besides the common "Traveling merchant", what kinds of artisans or professionals in fantasy would have a reason to move around the world (or at least visit other settlements)? First time posting, so let me know what to improve. Thanks! EDIT: When I say traveling, I was thinking someone who spends multiple days/weeks/months away from their place of origin as they go elsewhere for their business, or to gather materials for it. medieval travel share | improve this question edited Aug 1 at 15:16 asked Aug 1 at 15:07 Julia Witham 279 2 7 11 Please ...

            How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
