How to update to VLC 2.0 in 10.04?

Is there any PPA for to update VLC to 2.0 version in Ubuntu 10.04? If not how can I update it. I have already tried this ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc2 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc 

and it never works. It just gives the 1.1.13 version.

VLC version 1.0.6 in Ubuntu 10.04 is out-of-date. We recommend you install VLC 1.1.x manually.

If you wish to install VLC 1.0.6 anyway, please refer to the instructions above for Ubuntu 10.10. Note that there will be some bugs; you are on your own.

At your OWN risks, install VLC from PPA:

Command line way

 % sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa % sudo apt-get update % sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc

Currently there's no ppa for VLC 2.0 for Ubuntu 10.04. The mentioned ppa is only for Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric, as it says.

Add the PPA ppa:n-muench/vlc2 to your system

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/vlc2 

Install / upgrade vlc

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vlc
