I've added this repository "ppa:videolan/stable-daily" using this command:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:videolan/stable-daily
thin I wrote this command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc=2.1.2+git20140320+r54512+18+11~ubuntu14.04.1
Finally i got this massage:
E: Version '2.1.2+git20140320+r54512+18+11~ubuntu14.04.1' for 'vlc' was not found
even though I can see it in the repository page. I have Ubuntu 13.10. Is this because of the "ubuntu14.04.1" in the end of the version name, if yes how can I work around it ?
sudo apt-get install vlc
should work. buy default apt-get should always install the most recent version available, and the version in the ppa should be most recent (otherwise file a bug with the ppa maintainer).. If vlc is already installed, you may needsudo apt-get upgrade
.sudo apt-get install devscripts
and thenrmadison <package name>
will show all available versions, including remote.
