Re: install vlc player

first, edit your sources.list by:

sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list

and uncomment (fancy word for removing the # signs) the lines starting with deb. It should now look like:

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'universe'
## repository.
## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team, and may not be under a free licence. Please satisfy yourself as to
## your rights to use the software. Also, please note that software in
## universe WILL NOT receive any review or updates from the Ubuntu security
## team.
deb [url]http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] breezy universe
deb-src [url]http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu[/url] breezy universe

Now, run

sudo apt-get update

and

sudo apt-get install vlc

Now, if you want a better looking front-end (not that the default is ugly, but some people are impressionate)

sudo apt-get install qvlc
