After installing Ubuntu and XBMC WHATS NEXT - ahmada - 2010-04-10
Is there some kind of tutorial to show me what extras to install for the xbmc? One problem I ran into was that everytime I try to go to hardware drivers I get a popup telling me that my nvidia driver is activated. I have never used linux before today so I am not really sure what I need to do regarding this matter. Any recommendation as to what to do next will be greatly appreciated.

I'm a little confused on your question. Do you mean you want addons and plugins from within XBMC, or are you still trying to get XBMC to work and play nice w/ Linux?

XBMC is working well but I was talking about setting up the htpc with my network (windows) and streaming music and videos from my main PC. I also want to get the plugins and addons installed. Like I said before, I have never used Ubuntu. Also, regarding VDPAU libraries do they come loaded or do I need to do something to load them?

Can you tell what version of Ubuntu you are using? (Desktop / Server / Minimal / XBMC Live) > 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10.

Desktop 9.10

After installing the Nvidia Drivers, make sure that the Libvdpau package is installed >
Code:
sudo apt-get install libvdpau1You can make XBMC autostart, by adding it to the startup items, so it will autostart on startup.
You can set-up samba, bij open the 'Sharing' control applet and share folders.

(Only if you have a VDPau capable graphics card) And enable VDpau under the Video Playback settings.Code:sudo apt-get install libvdpau1

Isn't it smart to add the VDPAU PPA before installing that lib?
