There is two way of installing skins and both can work along.
They can be install in /usr/share/xbmc/skin which is system wide skin and available to every user on the system.
Then, each user can install his own skin in .xbmc/skin and this skin will be available only for him.

I don't understand then why you think this should be changed.

Forgive by translating language, I am not English. I have installed several skins in / usr / share / xbmc / XBMC skin and can only read "Project Mayhem III", where a instalo the skins (.xbmc / skin /...) XBMC if you can read different skins. The installation of skins on (/ usr / share / xbmc / skin) XBMC can not only read other skins (Project Mayhem III).

- can be a problem for permits or configuration XBMC?

@geinux : That's indeed strange. How did you install MC360 in /usr/share/xbmc/skin (using the PPA ? or Manual ? )

@TrocaNiklas : I don't think there will be an official 64bit version anytime soon. But if you search through the forum you might find some people who succeeded to create a 64bit.

Install PPA (.deb).

- sudo aptitude install xbmc-skin-*

- Synaptic skin MC360

sorry for the Linux noob question but are the XBMC code builds themselves supposed to be available? After I installed the repository I only see xbmc-skin-*

I loaded both...
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy/ubuntu hardy main

adding deb-src did not add anything additional.

thx

I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

sorry for the previous post... I think I figured it out.

I installed the SVN source and now I get more packages.

Do I just need to choose 'xbmc' to install?
