    17.04 is no longer supported, which includes software downloads. You should upgrade to 17.10 to get that and things like security updates. Follow @FlorianDiesch's link above to upgrade to 17.10. Then installing VLC should work. – Chai T. Rex Jan 20 '18 at 20:38
  • Zesty archive was taken off-line (it reached EOL 13-Jan-2018); you'll need to change it to use old-releases.ubuntu.com (in place of archive.ubuntu.com). If you look [with a browser] at archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu (or whatever site you're using in your /etc/apt/sources.list) there is no 'zesty' directory anymore; it's been moved to old-releases already. Zesty was NOT patched for Meltdown, any part of Spectre (next patches eta 22-Jan) etc so upgrading to 17.10 is advisible, or using a LTS (eg. 16.04LTS) if you don't like upgrading often. – guiverc Jan 20 '18 at 21:08

Open a Terminal an type the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc

Vlc was not found because it's only available in the universe repository.
