@Mistichthys
Something that would help us a lot to understand the problem would be this:

  1. Open the application called ‘Terminal’
  2. In this application run the command:

eos-diagnostics

  1. The above command will create a file with the information of your system (example: eos-diagnostic-160614_111731_UTC + 0100.txt); Send us this file so we can analyze and see a possible solution

  1. Open the application called ‘Terminal’
  2. In this application run the command:
rm -f eos-fix-ostree-repo
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/endlessm/eos-meta/master/eos-tech-support/eos-fix-ostree-repo
chmod +x eos-fix-ostree-repo
sudo ./eos-fix-ostree-repo && sudo flatpak update

I tried to install VLC from the desktop Icon without any success, after attempting to open the installer the icon disappeared. I did what you suggested and used ‘eos-diagnostics’ in the terminal and have attached the resulting text file. eos-diagnostic-180213_132840_UTC 0000.txt (454.4 KB)

We recently switched to downloading VLC from Flathub, and there was a period of a few days when it was broken. If you upgrade to the latest version of Endless OS (3.3.11+), I’m pretty sure that you will be able to install VLC without a problem. If not, please let me know!
