Howto install VLC 0.8.6 under dapper

I hope that you are able to deal with a computer, synaptic or sources.list

Add a new repository

  • Add

deb ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/ubuntu dapper universe

to you/etc/apt/sources.lists or synaptic.

Update the packages list

  • Run

sudo apt-get update

Install

  • And

sudo apt-get install vlc libvlc0 vlc-nox mozilla-plugin-vlc vlc-plugin-alsa vlc-plugin-esd wxvlc

should do the trick. There are other plugins that you can install like vlc-plugin-arts, vlc-plugin-glide…

libdvdcss2

If you want to read DVD, remember to install libdvdcss2 :D

Enjoy
