[Solved] vlc: missing mandatory argument `–user-agent=”VLC media player”‘
Yesterday after upgrading the packages VLC refused to start giving out following error message:
VLC media player 1.1.1 The Luggage (revision exported) vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--user-agent="VLC media player"' Try `vlc --help' for more information.
To solve the error, just reinstall vlc:
sudo apt-get install vlc
Cheers!
