I am new to Ubuntu and having problem installing VLC Player. My system is Ubuntu Linux Desktop Linux x86 32 bit version 6.10 (Edgy).
From documentation page: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
I have done the following:
1. System | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager
2. enter the password
3. menu Settings | Repositories
4. "ubuntu 6.10" tab I have checked the "Community.... (universe)"
5. "Third Party" tab APT line:
deb ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/ubuntu edgy universe
NOTE: I don't know if this source exists. There is no info about this source on VLC page documentation!!!
6. Close button to close window
7. Reload button from tools menu
I got error: Could not download all repository indexes
Inside error there is a message:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/Release.gpg: Temporary failure resolving 'pro'
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ ... -en_US.bz2: Temporary failure resolving 'pro'
ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/ubu ... ackages.gz: Unable to fetch file, server said '/pub/videolan/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz: No such file or directory '
So there is no package available. What is the correct package name for Ubuntu Linux 6.10?
BTW, I have tried installing package"dapper" instread of "edgy" and got the same error.
Please help,
Abcuser
