Emily Wong
Is there any PPA for to update VLC to 2.0 version in Ubuntu 10.04? If not how can I update it. I have already tried this ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc2
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlcand it never works. It just gives the 1.1.13 version.

VLC version 1.0.6 in Ubuntu 10.04 is out-of-date. We recommend you install VLC 1.1.x manually.
If you wish to install VLC 1.0.6 anyway, please refer to the instructions above for Ubuntu 10.10. Note that there will be some bugs; you are on your own.
At your OWN risks, install VLC from PPA:
Command line way
% sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa % sudo apt-get update % sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc

1Currently there's no ppa for VLC 2.0 for Ubuntu 10.04. The mentioned ppa is only for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric, as it says.
1Add the PPA ppa:n-muench/vlc2 to your system
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc2Install / upgrade vlc
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc(source)
