Is there any PPA for to update VLC to 2.0 version in Ubuntu 10.04? If not how can I update it. I have already tried this ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc2
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc

and it never works. It just gives the 1.1.13 version.

  • I agree the down vote doesn't make much sense so I up voted to balance. I would suggest you try and install VLC 2.0 from source. – kingmilo Feb 20 '12 at 19:54
  • Up voted your question. Makes complete sense. – nik90 Feb 20 '12 at 22:13

From the VLC pages

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS

VLC version 1.0.6 in Ubuntu 10.04 is out-of-date. We recommend you install VLC 1.1.x manually.

If you wish to install VLC 1.0.6 anyway, please refer to the instructions above for Ubuntu 10.10. Note that there will be some bugs; you are on your own.

At your OWN risks, install VLC from PPA:

Command line way

% sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa
% sudo apt-get update
% sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc

Currently there's no ppa for VLC 2.0 for Ubuntu 10.04. The mentioned ppa is only for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric, as it says.

    Yes, thats why I asked is there any other PPA or any other way to install. For the fellow who marked this question -1, you need to understand the question first. – geiser Feb 20 '12 at 19:41

Install / upgrade vlc

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc
