Is that related to Ubuntu moving all VLC updates / fixes to their subscription only channel?

@Steveg58 @canadaduane You have to be joking, right?

@Natanox @canadaduane
Ah ... no.
VLC updates are only available through Ubuntu Pro security updates which you have to sign up to.

@Steveg58 @Natanox @canadaduane it's not.
You just dont have live kernel update without the subscription, VLC dont do any shit with the kernel, dont worry.
Juste update the snapcraft https://nightlies.videolan.org/ or update from a ppa (they where an officiel ppa but seems for daily dev build now https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily)

@kazord @Natanox @canadaduane
Then why are all all the VLC updates only listed under Ubuntu Pro and are greyed out?
I'm not really interested in nightly builds just the stable versions.

@Steveg58 @Natanox @canadaduane stable are on top, using snap since 3.0
Are you still on VLC 2.0 (.deb) package from the store ?

@kazord @Natanox @canadaduane
Help about says 3.0.16 Vetinari.

@Steveg58 @Natanox @canadaduane hum, weird, 3.0.20 package is un stores ( on debian for exemple) https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd64/vlc/download
Is it a require dependence missing ?
If you still want the lastest without trying to find this error somewhere 'apt remove VLC && snap installé vlc'
(On install the debian .deb )

@Steveg58 @Natanox @canadaduane yet another reason I'm glad I switched back to #Debian!

@simon_brooke
I agree switch away from Ubuntu for that craz, thing. And switch away from snaps, it's an Ubuntu ploy invention, too. The proper alternative that also works on Ubuntu for now would be to install the #flatpak from. #Flathub here, or really works cross-distros (unlike snap):
And surprise, you get updates for free there: https://flathub.org/apps/org.videolan.VLC

@rugk @simon_brooke @Natanox @canadaduane
Yeah, Snaps have totally broken the whole transparent update process. I have been intending to quit Ubuntu for a while I just need to collect the spoons.
