VLC Player not working or opening in Kali 2.0

Hello Kali fans,

I installed the famous vlc player on my kali 2.0 but unfortunately it was not executing properly and was not opening at all.

So, here is a fix for that if you find yourself in the same situation.

• open terminal window and type hexeditor /usr/bin/vlc

It will open a hexeditor of vlc file, be careful not to change anything here that you don't know of, because it can make vlc crash completely.

• Press ctrl+w to open the search dialog box, 

• Press enter for the option, to search for a string 

• Type geteuid in the search bar and press enter.

• Press tab and the cursor is now on the g of geteuid,

• Start writing getppid,as it will overwrite the text, make sure to not press any other key. Dont worry if you can't see what you are writing, just make sure when you type g it is overwritten on the already written g of geteuid.

• Press ctrl+x to save and exit.

Open VLC player it will work now.
