Installing VLC on Debian GNU/Linux
If you are using Debian Sarge, or Sid, then you can install VLC using the Apt manager. Just log in as root and type the following and then you are done:
# apt-get install vlc
VLC is currently not in Etch as some RC bug block the migration. It should be fixed before Etch release.
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:
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-sdl - SDL video and audio output plugin for VLC vlc-plugin-svgalib - SVGAlib video output plugin for VLC
