  1. Conky-all and vlc packages are available at universe repositories. You have to enable universe repository inorder to install these two packages,

     sudo add-apt-repository universe
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install vlc
 sudo apt-get install conky-all

  2. You may not have not a sources.list file containing the correct source link

    • Visit Ubuntu sources list generator and copy the generated text
    • create a text file /etc/apt/sources.list and paste the links there and save it.

    • open terminal and run this command

      sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

    Now you can install any package
