Isso é o que tenho que fazer para que funcione
#!/bin/bash
#add VLC (Totem has been removed and Mplayer added)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lucid-bleed-ppa-lucid.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
echo "now run VLC and set the preferences to allow only one instance."
