I do not know why Ubuntu Software Center does not download VLC for me. when i click on VLC player it displays a pop-up and says
**Package Dependencies can not be resolved**
"This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are
missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between
software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time."
try out sudo apt-get install vlc. Using apt-get can be more reliable than the software center sometimes
apt-get is, that we can see its output including any error messages.
