Install VLC media player 1.0 on ubuntu 9.04
Posted Under: General
Ubuntu Jaunty has VLC media player installed by default,but not the latest version.You can check it by navigate to Help->About in the VLC player window.VLC 1.0 has gotten several cool new features.Here I’ll tell how to install it on ubuntu 9.04
Update: VLC now comes default in Ubuntu Natty official repository, just search and install from Ubuntu Software Center. For older Ubuntu releases, read http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
1.Run this command in terminal to open sources.list file.
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
2.Add the two lines to the end of the file,then save and close the file.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu jaunty maindeb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu jaunty main
3.Get the key by following command
sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7613768D
4.Install and upgrade VLC media player
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc
sudo apt-get upgrade vlc
You can skip the third command if VLC running well after sudo apt-get install vlc.

No matter what tutorial I try to follow, I just can’t get the proper version of the VLC Media Player installed on my desktop PC running at all. I am constantly plagued mostly by error messages stating that no such command can be found. My OS is Ubuntu 9.04 OR 9.10. Not even sure on this or how much it matters. Am complete Linux newbie and can’t believe how much trouble I’m constantly having with such a supposedly “user friendly” distro of Linux. Can somebody PLEASE help me before I go mad. Totem just doesn’t cut it trying to play ANY DVD movie – what a waste.
