So, I decided to try out ubuntu, got it installed on a lappy. I want to install vlc because it seems the media player it has is crap, and obviously vlc is the best ... So, I go into the synaptec package manager doohicky, and I search for vlc, nothing....
So, I hop onto google, and I check the vlc website, cut a long agonising story of failed searching short; I found out I need the repository url to get my beloved vlc installed, is there anyone here who can give me a little help in doing this???
Ramesh, anybody, duh, mi a beg yuh, help!!!
Edit, I found a few sites/forums where the solution they give is to add this to the repository list: then refresh, and redo a search....
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu hardy main
However, after I add that URL, it still doesn't find VLC...
