I'm trying to use Vlc with sudo but it doesn't work.
This is the 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).
Can you help me here?
Edit:
I am adding a reason after reading comments.
I just want to give one reason: I am using mac + ubuntu and my movies collection are in mac boot disk. which is shown as read only form ubuntu(I don't know why) and I cant run chmod on files. I can access Movies,Documents files using nautilus with sudo. But to play these files I need VLC with sudo. I think it's a good reason.
