Run the VLC player using the following command

LinuxHelp:~ # vlc
VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry.
If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports
you can use VLC-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and
cannot be run by non-trusted users first).

Use the following command to avoid above error

LinuxHelp:~ # sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc

Now, you can play VLC player without error

LinuxHelp:~ # vlc
VLC media player 3.0.7.1 Vetinari (revision 3.0.7.1-0-gf3940db4af)
[0000561400be80b0] vlcpulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused
[0000561400b5c430] main libvlc: Running VLC with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
