Way new to Xubuntu (installed it Monday), so I appreciate any help you can give me.



When I attempt to download a skin (Crux, in fact) directly to VLC's skins2 file, the download doesn't take place. When I download the same skin to the Downloads file, that works fine, but I can't then copy the file from Downloads to VLC's skins2 file. I've also tried to extract the information to the skins2 file from Downloads, but I get told that I don't have permission to do that.



I'm thinking that a) I have the wrong destination file somehow or b) that skin may not work with Xubuntu. How close am I?



Thanks in advance.



kiloseven, I'm not sure what you're looking for. The path I have for the skins2 file is:



/usr/share/vlc/skins2/



Thanks for answering.

Open terminal and run this:



sudo wget http://www1.videolan.org/vlc/skins2/crux.vlt

sudo cp crux.vlt /usr/share/vlc/skins2


Then open VLC and go to settings.
Under "look and feel", check the "use custom skin", and paste this in the "skin resource file":



/usr/share/vlc/skins2/crux.vlt


Then restart your vlc and you should be good to go.
