Ubuntu Multimedia :: Unable To Install The VLC - Command Not Found

I type in vlc in the command prompt and get the following back:

Quote:

The program 'vlc' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install vlc-nox
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'
vlc: command not found

I type in "sudo apt-get install vlc-nox" and get the following:

Maybe I'm getting the "Couldn't find package vlc-nox" because I've not enabled the 'universe' component. How do I do that via the command line? VLC's website discusses an alternative way to install VLC:

% sudo apt-get update
% sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc

Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me either. When I try I get the following error:
