VLC 3.0 Not installing PPA not found [duplicate]

  • 772

I have been trying for a while to install vlc 3.0 on ubuntu 17.10, with no luck. I even installed the snap version but it doesn't seem to play videos outside of the home folder, so I can't view videos on my other partitions.

Thing is, when I try to install vlc 3.0 from the stable PPA, I get vlc 2.2.6 instead. After adding the PPA and run sudo apt-get update, I get the following error

 E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/videolan/stable-daily/ubuntu artful Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

I have tried removing the PPA and adding it back but it still says the same thing. Am I missing something

EDIT: I have tried the solution from this link but I still get the release file not found error

ppa vlc

  1. Remove VLC PPAs and revert it to the version from repository:

    sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

sudo ppa-purge ppa:videolan/stable-daily
sudo ppa-purge ppa:videolan/master-daily

    These actions are needed because of the fact that PPAs do not have packages for Artful anymore.

    Then remove vlc snap

    sudo snap remove vlc

    And install it again with --classic option:

    sudo snap install --classic vlc
