i'm trying to install vlc player,

i remember before. i just typed vlc player in the synaptic package manager and it showed up.

but i typed it in and nothing showes up.

Open System -> Administration -> Software Sources.

Make sure Multiverse is checked.

vlc should be installable
Multiverse should be default without extra sources.

multiverse is selected,

so if vlc is already installed, how do i use it to open a divx file.

i right clicked on a file, and went to "open with other application"

but vlc is not on the list.

Go to Applications -> Add/Remove. Make sure show is set to all available applications. Search for vlc.

You could start vlc (Applications->sound & Video -> VLC media player) then Media -> Open File. Navigate to the file and select it, then click play.
