== 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.

== 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.
