Keyserver timeout
Submitted by kg (not verified) on Mon, 10/26/2009 - 21:25.

I had the same problem and found the keyserver uses port 11371. If it is blocked, unblock it and away you go. I had to put my linux box in the DMZ before it worked and then took it out right after.

Good Luck

It worked fine for me

I went on trying to install GPG key one more time and it worked fine in my Ubuntu Jaunty. Which version of Ubuntu are you using.

Qt 4.5.1 dependency?!
Submitted by mad (not verified) on Fri, 07/10/2009 - 14:47.

I tried to use the PPA to install vlc 1.0.0 and guess what... it wants to install Qt 4.5.1 along with it. Is this really required?!

Installing VLC 1.0 final in Ubuntu
Submitted by webmaster on Fri, 07/10/2009 - 16:12.

Which version of Ubuntu you are using? I tried upgrading in jaunty and i don't think it asked for qt dependency. I had already installed kde-desktop, may be thats why. Check this blog and also VLC Forum for more info.

Wow. I've been using a way
Submitted by Visitor (not verified) on Fri, 07/10/2009 - 14:41.

Wow. I've been using a way outdated version of VLC. About time I upgraded. Thanks. Yeah, too bad hardy(what i use) only gets 0.9.9. oh well, better than the 0.7.6 i was using :P
