’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!

For those who want to download offline,

Get each .deb file VLC from here.. [Remember download only that which suits your processor].
http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/v/vlc/

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.
