When I installed from the       Ubuntu Software store, it seemed to install the snap version, which was       either an update or two behind the terminal install with sudo apt       install vlc, or just missing some codec extensions. Either way, the snap       store version wouldn't run anything and the terminal installation would.       Weird.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
