You have not mentioned which Debian-based distribution you're using. > root@dinesh-Infotech:/home/dinesh# apt-get install vlc > Reading package lists... Done > Building dependency tree > Reading state information... Done > E: Unable to locate package vlc If you are using Ubuntu, 'vlc' package is present in the universe section of the repository. In Ubuntu 9.04 and later, universe repository is enabled by default[1]. So the problem could be that you didn't run 'apt-get update' before running 'apt-get install vlc'. Try that and let us know if your problem still persites [1] - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_Ubuntu_Software_Repositories Thanks & Regards, Guruprasad _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
