In the past days, i used VLC to watch video tutorials. but occasionally, I met the video can't play correctly and screen stuck problems. I thought it maybe need update system and softwares. So I used command "sudo upgrade" tried to fix problem, but unfortunately. my computer also held those problems. even the system and VLC is the last version.



So. at past night. I used Ubuntu Software to remove VLC. and from some forums to got "sudo apt-get autoremove vlc" "sudo apt-get auto clean"..etc..(cause I want to uninstall completely for reinstall) But since uninstall VLC, I will incapable to enable it again.



My system is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and run of VLC 2.2.5. could you can help me to solve those troubles? Thanks :)

          Maybe you can try removing it completely and installing it directly from the binaries.



          sudo apt-get remove vlc
          sudo apt-get autoremove
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get upgrade


          Then download the binaries from http://get.videolan.org/vlc/2.2.8/vlc-2.2.8.tar.xz



          Save the file wherever you want to install it. Then, uncompress it:



          tar –xzf vlc-2.2.8.tar.xz


          You can run the program directly if you want, without installing it by:



          ./vlc


          Or, install it with:



          ./configure
          make install


          And finally run it:



          ./vlc


          The file INSTALL inside the tar.xz file contains more information abut the installation.



          Good luck!

          sudo apt-get install totem


          Or explain why you "incapable to enable it again" in detail.
