Re: [ubuntu-uk] Corrupt VLC problem in 4.2014 Further Comment

2016-04-05 Thread Michael 

Not wishing to upset anybody, Sir.
Problem only happened with a Region 1 disk, Region 2 is good.
If due to drive region-locking after several changes, does not explain 
the drive "chatter"
MS W7 will play Region one so if I use Ubuntu for Region 2 and Microsoft 
for Region 1, no problem.

Drive chatter, I don't know, that remains a mystery.

It is good practice to say what the cause of the problem was, so that
we can all learn from your experience.  It may happen to me next week.

I'm hoping a complete removal is possible in terminal, is anybody able to
tell me what to do, please ?

VLC will not have become corrupted.  It is just possible that some of
it's settings may have become messed up.  To check that logon as Guest
and try vlc again, that will give you a new set of settings for the
app.  If it works in guest then I suggest removing (back in your
normal login) the folder .config/vlc which I believe contains your
personal vlc settings.

If you really want to remove it then
sudo apt purge vlc
That will remove the app and all configuration files installed by vlc.
To remove your personal settings for vlc remove the folder .config/vlc
as mentioned above.

However it sounds more like a hardware issue to me.  Does the drive
still work in a different player?
