I just installed Xubuntu (Itrepid Ibex) on an old Compaq a few days ago and the media player it came with doesn’t play any of my old music or vid files (MP3 & AVI). I have used VLC as a portable app on my flash drive before and would like to install it on my computer without using the net. I would be installing it off my flashdrive or a CD, so if someone could post a strp by step walkthrough on how to do that it would be great. Thanx!

You can download the .deb files from here http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/vlc

Don’t forget to also download VLC-nox, VLC-plugin-esd, VLC-plugin-pulse and, if using Firefox, Mozilla-plugin-vlc

You could get, or not, problems with dependencies. If so, write down the files missing, and go back to the above link to get them.

Hope this helps.

Everyone says this by assuming everyone have access to internet at all the time. Its wrong.
I want to download VLC as a .deb file from a place which has internet connection and install it in my home machine.
Mentioned method is useless for me.

@ Robi

The easiest way to install VLC is to do it by the repository.

System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager.

Search for VLC.

Install VLC, VLC-nox, VLC-plugin-esd, and VLC-plugin-pulse.

If you are using Firefox browser, also install Mozilla-plugin-vlc

The dependencies will install automatically.

After installation is completed it will show under Applications > Sound & Video

I’m a newbe to Ubuntu and I would like to download a video player. I would like to “Install VLC Media Player in Ubuntu” BUT I’m not online and will only pick-up software thro’ public access/internet cafe Windows PCs.
Can I find somewhere to download the player (with install details)? No your site send me round in circles!
