VLC Officially Banned in India, What's Up?

By

Downloading the VLC app is no longer officially possible in India. This happened, due to the massive Cicada virus attack. VLC was one of the applications that fell victim to the Cicada malware attack, which can stay in RAM as a computer virus.

Cicada malware can duplicate itself and insert itself into the MBR, the master boot record on the hard disk on the computer. The danger is, this Cicada malware begins to erase the hard drive and displays a warning related to virus infection to computer users.

Videolan project's website videolan.org cannot be accessed due to an order issued by the Ministry of Electronics & IT. It is inaccessible for all the major ISPs in India.

VLC was one of the most popular third-party media players in India. It is even now, but now that most people are switching to streaming platforms, the popularity might have dropped. In earlier days, we used it to play almost any format, and it also came in handy when you want to convert video into a different format. However, the download link and access to the website may not work anymore.

Can this happen in other countries? Very likely!

Setup Debian 11 Official Repository In sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list)

By
When you install Debian 11 using a DVD, the OS installer sets the DVD as the source for getting packages for your system if you didn't choose to scan for network mirrors. Due to this reason, the system would ask you to insert a DVD if the disc is not present in the DVD drive when you try to install any software.  Also, the packages on DVD may not be the latest release.  So, we need to get the packages from the Internet. Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 11.0.0 _Bullseye_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20210814-10:04' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press [Enter] The /etc/apt/sources.list file with DVD as a source would look something like below. # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 11.0.0 _Bullseye_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20210814-10:04]/ bullseye contrib main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 11.0.0 _Bullseye_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20210814-10:04]/ bullseye contrib main deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security
