I have Firecore. Maitenance says XBMC is installed. It is not. I get this message when trying to ssh XBMC via you instructions for Cydia version.

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (35: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
Apple-TV:~ root# apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

Suggestions.

ssh is working. It thinks somethong is already being installed. Reboot the atv and try again.

Type reboot from the prompt and reconnect in a minute.

Not sure which reboot you mean first time. Unplug ATV2? Type reboot in terminal. I presume. Or reboot from the prompt, then reconnect?

[g-off]

use the 'reboot' command via ssh

if it still won't work try 'rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock'

Thank you. Will try.

Ready to try a new install via ssh. Was able to show XBMC uninstalled in Firecore Maintenance. Was able to uninstall Nito TV. Could Nito's open ssh program have been a conflict. It was wanting me to manualyl set dpkg file. I ran this as a result of a message when uninstalling apt-get autoremove. This was what I was showing before getting things cleared (XBMC&Nito) and after the auto remove

Thank you. Now we will see once I can install, if I can get the Hulu add-on working. That has been the whole reason for this, although I do like other features.

ok. Have XBMC installed. Now I am going to try the Hulu add on.
BTW Installed XBMC this way:
ssh [email protected] (fill in your own ATV IP address)

When prompted for your password, enter ‘alpine’ if you haven’t changed it. Now you’ll want to install the XBMC software, execute each of these commands independently:

echo "deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2 ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list

Next use apt-get:

apt-get update

And finally, install the software:

apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2

Then I did an ssh reboot

Hulu add-on working just fine. Thanks.
