@Steveg58 @Natanox @canadaduane Do you have a source for this? Pretty shady if true...

@Steveg58 @Natanox @canadaduane I ask because it appears to be *not* true. packages.ubuntu.com/noble/vlc- shows v3.0.20 is available; videolan.org/ shows latest version is v3.0.20?

Okay that kind of proves my point ... 3.0.20 is available but software Updater says all packages outside of Ubuntu Pro are up to date.

@Steveg58 @Natanox @canadaduane @PurpleJillybeans I'm pretty new to Linux and a little out of my depth here, but I'm not sure why your software updater isn't picking it up. Mine is. The package is right there to download at, for example, packages.ubuntu.com/noble/amd6 (and I'm pretty sure you can't give a browser a pro subscription). Flathub even appears to have v3.0.21 which isn't even available from the VLC website yet?

Screenshot of Discover Software Centre showing version 3.0.20 is installed, available from multiple sources, and Flathub has version 3.0.21

Screenshot from Software updater showing all the VLC modules greyed out in the Ubunto Pro list.

Not just vlc. That whole "certain updates only for Pro" was what made me switch from U to Fedora. Very happy with that choice. Withholding updates is a definite no-go.
