Installing VLC and learning about PPA along the way

Missing my favorite media player, I google'd and found out that there is a VLC for Ubuntu.

The catch is this: it isn't a default package available out-of-the-box in Jaunty.

So here are the steps, basically:

1. Add the VLC packages in Ubuntu's software sources


2. Tell Ubuntu to authenticate the VLC's PPA


3. Update Synaptic and install VLC

These are the packages to install:

• 
  

  vlc

  
  


• 
  

  vlc-plugin-esd

  
  


• 
  

  mozilla-plugin-vlc
