Doesn`t work. However, when I put Ubuntu 14.10 in another similar computer, I followed each suggestion for
"First thing to do after installation". I did so slowly and very carefully,because I`m a "Newbie". This procedure
is very slow,and takes time. HOWEVER, this computer has been a joy to use so far. My next chore is to
familiarize myself with synaptic,PPA,and terminal. Reality check! Linux is NOT for those that want something
working right out of box. It is a persistent learning curve. Small wonder that many give up,thinking it is no better
than DOS 3.O. Linux is taking over the world EXCEPT for desktop. That`s a shame, IMHO.
I do not look at WHO is wrong,but WHAT is wrong. Cut and try methods for the user,in not IMHO,
is not the best learning curve for those that really want to have a working desktop.
That`s just the way I see it,with sincere thanks to all contributors on this forum. Respectfully,
Cheers

In Mint 17 to install VLC. 2.1.5 after 2.1.4 neither of which helped.
3.0 gig duo processor. 2 gig memory.
Open terminal

2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install vlc
