Hardy installation help... Super Newbie - bb2g40 - 2008-08-24 First off, I'm sorry for having to post this. I have searched for two days now and have not been able to find or understand what I have to do here. I am definitely a newbie when it comes to linux. I have made it through adding the repositories, but when I try to install, either through the terminal or the synaptics manager, i get the followng: chris@xbmc:~$ sudo apt-get install xbmc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: xbmc: Depends: xbmc-common (= 8.10a4-hardy1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xbmc-skin-pm3 (= 8.10a4-hardy1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xbmc-web-pm3 (= 8.10a4-hardy1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages every time... I just don't understand what I'm doing to make the packages broken. xbmc-common shows up in synaptics, but I can't install it either... Please help - althekiller - 2008-08-24 You need to tell us what you HAVE done. What guide did you use, exactly which repo, how and where did you add it, etc? You need to be as descriptive as possible. "This doesn't work how do I fix it?" + C&P will get you NOWHERE here. - bond007taz - 2008-08-24 <- another noob trying to help: try: sudo apt-get aptitude xbmc or sudo apt-get aptitude xbmc* - bb2g40 - 2008-08-24 ok thanks... I have gotten the precompiled builds and guides from this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=185738 I added both the main and the source to the software sources I have tried to install both through the synaptics manager and through terminal through synaptics, I get a warning each time that says "could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade" followed by this "xbmc: Depends: xbmc-common but it is not going to be installed Depends: xbmc-skin-pm3 but it is not going to be installed Depends: xbmc-web-pm3 but it is not going to be installed" after searching a little more, I thought that I might be up to terminal installation I started with sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install xbmc ... this command replies with this error: chris@xbmc:~$ sudo apt-get install xbmc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed.

I originally started out in gutsy, and when I was getting these errors, I upgraded my system to hardy (thinking it might help) after upgrade, I made certain my system was up to date. Now I am using only the hardy PPA's. I hope this is enough, I am seriously so confused. - bb2g40 - 2008-08-24 bond007taz Wrote:<- another noob trying to help: both of these commands gave me "invalid operation aptitude" - bb2g40 - 2008-08-24 bond007taz Wrote:<- another noob trying to help: but thanks anyways... i'm really stuck here and pulling my hair out as i type - xgrep - 2008-08-24 I think he was meaning to say Code: sudo aptitude install xbmc I've heard aptitude is sometimes better at handling dependencies, though I haven't experienced this myself. Personally, this has worked whenever apt had gotten confused on me Code: sudo apt-get --fix-broken If not, then as al said, we need more info - bb2g40 - 2008-08-24 I understand that you keep saying you need more, but I really don't know how to post more, or what more to post... here is the terminal responses for everything you guys have recommended. still nothing working... and still getting same errors of broken dependencies chris@xbmc:~$ sudo apt-get install xbmc Reading package lists...

Is there such a website that has those directions? I've tried the xbmc linux wiki too... but I can try it again if it is the best? Any suggestions? - bb2g40 - 2008-08-24 here is the latest.
