new install on buster, VLC error in the install script about rpisurv HOT 10 OPEN

Hi, I have the same problem:

OS:

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="10" VERSION="10 (buster)" VERSION_CODENAME=buster

vlc --version VLC media player 3.0.20 Vetinari (revision 3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b) VLC version 3.0.20 Vetinari (3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b)

It is already the 32 bit version. What can we do to install it? Thank you!

The version 3.0.20 is not compatible with rpisurv. Follow this steps....

1- sudo apt purge vlc-data

2- sudo apt purge vlc*

3- sudo apt autoremove

4- Create /etc/apt/preferences.d/vlc with the following:

Package: vlc*
Pin: origin "archive.raspberrypi.org"
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: libvlc*
Pin: origin "archive.raspberrypi.org"
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: vlc*
Pin: origin *
Pin-priority: -1

Package: libvlc*
Pin: origin *
Pin-priority: -1

5- sudo apt update

6- Reinstall rpisurv

from rpisurv.

Hi. im not very good at linux, can you dumb down step 4 for me? ive been trying to figure out how to make these things but i just dont know

Hello (:
To create a file, just use the "nano" command
sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/vlc
Copy all informations from step 4 and paste it into the file using the right mouse click or CTRL + SHIFT + V
To save the file press CTRL + X and then Y to confirm and ENTER to exit.
If everything was done correctly, you should be able to read the information written to the file with the following command:
cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/vlc

Thank you very much your a life saver

I have tried the above-mentioned, and I am getting the following error:""I have tried the above-mentioned, and I am getting the following error:

If your system architecture is 64-bit, consider installing the 32-bit version.

Also, checking the installed version of VLC with the command.

vlc --version

@raymanEUS I had the same issue, for me it was a matter of removing libvlc-bin:

sudo apt purge libvlc-bin

from rpisurv.
