I have tried to install conky-all via command line but it shows the same error.Conky-all pakage is not available in software center.I really need it.Somebody please help.

Solution

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
