Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#When%20not%20to%20file%20a%20bug. There is also a vibrant support community available at http://askubuntu.com and you might consider asking your question there.

do you mean vlc? it should be available in the software center.

seeing that you're using 11.04, you can download it directly from the videolan site. they have a version for 11.04 there. otherwise, they provide a ppa that you can add to your software sources.

Hi please do this:
1. Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
2. Insert and run this command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc

3. Then copy and paste here all the terminal says.

Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Can you help with this problem?
