Sarexpert: /* Installing VLC on Ubuntu GNU/Linux */

== Installing VLC on Ubuntu GNU/Linux ==

You can install VLC using the apt-get program (or its GUI, Synaptic). Make sure you [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu enabled the Universe repository] and type the following:

$ sudo apt-get install vlc

Look out: there are many deprecated vlc based packages, like gnome-vlc, etc. Just installing vlc will do.

Many vlc plugins can be installed afterwards (some of these may no longer be needed):{{check}}
vlc-plugin-alsa - ALSA audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound doesn't work)
vlc-plugin-arts - aRts audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound still doesn't work and you're using KDE)
vlc-plugin-esd - Esound audio output plugin for VLC (install it if sound still doesn't work and you're using Gnome)
vlc-plugin-ggi - GGI video output plugin for VLC
vlc-plugin-glide - Glide video output plugin for VLC
vlc-plugin-pulse - PulseAudio audio output plugin for VLC
vlc-plugin-sdl - SDL video and audio output plugin for VLC
vlc-plugin-svgalib - SVGAlib video output plugin for VLC
mozilla-plugin-vlc - the VLC plugin for Mozilla based browsers
vlc-plugin-jack - the VLC plugin for Jack Audio Connection Kit

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Separate video window ===
In Ubuntu 9.04, the video is always rendered in a separate window.
This does not affect other Ubuntu releases.
Update to Ubuntu 9.10 if this is a problem for you.

=== Audio problems ===
If you have audio problems after upgrading Ubuntu, reboot. Your kernel might need to be refreshed.
