Dear,
Sir/Madam,
I have recently installed ubuntu 9.04 ver. OS. But I am unable to installed vlc media player in my os. So are you able to understand me clearly step by step? That will be helpfull to me.Can I use the system to installed any software in Offline?
Hi Sarthak,
I’m not sure VLC is supported under Ubuntu 9.04 because the version of Ubuntu is a few years old. At http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html VLC only have versions for 10.04 to 12.10 which are newer versions of ubuntu.
You would need to download the .deb installer files to install files offline.
