Just installed Ubuntu Desktop 10.10, want to install VLC but i can't find it

When I go to the Synaptics Packager installer, and type in VLC, nothing shows up. This is a clean install of Ubuntu onto a USB flash drive if that matters.

They've got instructions on how to enable the sources for VLC and installing it via Synaptic.

Just use what ever distributions software install managers.
