Please help me install vlc 0.9.x

[CDiablo]

I am on Ubuntu 8.04, and have been trying for about 3 hours to get my VLC player from .0.8.6b to any of the 0.9.x versions. I have tried many tutorials online and installed god knows how many packages because of it, but every tutorial that I try gets some error that there is no resolution for on the tutorial page. Can anyone link me to the definitive installation page? Thanks.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

oops, forgot to ask, what version of ubuntu are you using?

If you really want it this is what you do
(note that 0.9.x can have issues, to revert just remove the packages and sources then reinstall vlc

Go into synaptic, search vlc and remove vlc, vlc-nox, libvlc0, and any vlc plugins

Then open System -> Administration -> software sources -> third party, click add. Add these 2 lines in one at a time

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu hardy main


deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/c-korn/ubuntu hardy main

After adding click close, then reload.
Now run

sudo apt-get install vlc

And you'll have 0.9.8a
