E: Unable to locate package vlc

Please help. I would also like to know when this error occurs, I've seen it before too.

Best Answer

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.
