- dpkg is installing deb files that you already have downloaded
- apt-get install is checking the repository and downloading the file and installing it

Vlc is still in beta status so not available in any repository

and why these files are not graphically installable (like windows)??? isn't that more user friendlier??? (I'm new to ubuntu (4 months), and I have this problem with that to)
Oh dear. You might have completely wrong device in your hands :|

DO NOT INSTALL STUFF OUT OF official repositories if you do not know how to backup and flash your device! This is not Windows where you can install stuff lying around in different webpages. (actually you can but it´s not recommended)

@HellFlyer
Thanks a lot, finally I have it!
I had tried it, but with a little difference : "components: main" instead of "free", and that was because of this :
http://download.videolan.org/pub/vid...mantle/Release

@slender
Don't worry. I don't need to know how to backup and flash my device from now, internet is always in access for these problems. and next time when an amateur like me asks a question, if you know how to help, help her/him, if not, please just don't try to make her/him disappointed! Thanks.
