Today I offer a guide to interesting upgrade from version 0.8.6 of VLC present by default on Hardy to 0.9.9a.
First edit the file sources.list
typing in a terminal: sudo gedit / etc / apt / sources.list
in at the bottom of this file by typing the following lines:
# # VLC deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/vlc/ubuntu
hardy main then save and exit.
Now we can do is add the key to access the repository you just entered, to do this you must type in a terminal: sudo apt-
key adv - recv-keys - keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 7613768D
and then throw a nice:
sudo apt-get update
If you already have VLC installed on your Ubuntu-box is sufficient to perform the upgrade, otherwise clean installation type:
sudo apt-get install vlc
ENJOY!
