Hello,
I added new software repositories to my system:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-intrepid/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-intrepid/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

I do "sudo apt-get update" but impossible to retrieve the packages or sources! (Err 404 not found).
is there any problem with the site?

Many thanks,
pete

Come on, is cut-and-paste really that difficult?
Check your lines carefully against the ones listed in the very first posting and if you can see any differences, change YOUR entries.

Indeed, the urls he used was not the same as the one given in the first post. He got them by visiting the launchpad PPA pages. The thing is, launchpad is changing the PPA urls so the one he pasted was the new ones. I have updated the first post with them.

Thank you for having noticed that :-)

Confused Oh, sorry for making confusion.

But the 'old' URLs are still working perfectly with my setup. Are they still valid and will be discarded some day or will both addresses be valid now? :confused2:
No problem, I am actually grateful for that, I have updated the urls.
You can find more information on Launchpad changes reading the following email.

the deb-src works for debian sid too :

sudo aptitude update
sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
sudo apt-get source -b xbmc
[WAIT] perhaps you will lack libgl-dev, install the one you need, it is a virtual package
sudo dpkg -i .......
Why are the daily build for jaunty removed?
Yesterday I saw it again but now it's gone again ARGHHH

Oeps was looking wrong
hi- i just started using ubuntu a few weeks ago, with the end goal in making it a media center. so i was recommended to try xbmc, and i got it loaded up fine. the problem i'm having is that it runs very slow. and i'm not talking about videos, music, etc... i'm just talking about the app. the mouse stutters across the application, on the main page, the scrolling news item does not come out smoothly, but also stutters a bit each second.
once i leave the xbmc window, the mouse is smooth in the linux o.s.
is there something i should know, or a setting i need to do to get this working properly?

Try reporting the problem in a appropriately titled new thread in the appropriate forum with the appropriate information.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...Bug_Report
My build is currently 8.10 SVN:16164, dated to 14th Nov.

Is it correct that there haven't been a repack since that time? As far as I've heard there's been a lot of work done on the daily SVN's.

Running Hardy.
Which repository are you using?

The latest stable release is 2008-11-14
https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-hardy/+archive/ppa

If using the daily repositories, you would have a more current date.
https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-svn/+archive/ppa
When i try to install its giving bellow errors, help is much appreciated

Could not download all repository indexes

The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy...Sources.gz 404 Not Found
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
xbmc-third-parties package need to be updated. SVN Repo Installer 1.4 released.

And pls correct /usr/share/xbmc/system/favourites.xml file.

Hi There :-)

Sounds as though you're having video card driver issues. I have an ATI 4870x2 and was experiencing the same issues as yourself until I enabled the proprietary ATI drivers specific to my card... now it's beautifully smooth Big Grin

Something else worth mentioning is that XBMC playback is infinitely superior to any other video playback application in Ubuntu (Iin my humble opinion anyway)

Hope this is of some help!
