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

== 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.
