Hey all,
I've searched the forums high and low for the answer to this, however, I came up empty. I believe that I've followed all of the XBMC instructions to the letter to install into the new 9.10 Karmic Koala build, and I have to admit I'm also a Linux newbie. I'm going to have to rely on your expertise here to point me in the right direction.
From the instruction page, here:
Now, I'm not certain if I required the first line or not, as I believe I should only require everything starting with "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK", but I did try it with both keys. (No, not at the same time. When the first one failed, I completely removed all of the entire XBMC packages, and tried again with a different key file.)
I just recieved a note that my post is too long, so I will include an error log dump in the next post...

Quote:Now, as per the above, I changed "jaunty" to "karmic" for both lines, so they now read as such:
- From the Desktop, click System -> Administration -> Software Sources.
- Click the "Third Party Sofware" tab.
- Click "Add" for each of the following. For the Apt line type the following, substituting "jaunty" for your version:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/jaunty-ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/jaunty-ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
- Click "Close". If you see a GPG Error upon closing the window, not to worry. That will be handled in the next step
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/karmic-ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/karmic-ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Once complete, I did not receive the GPG error it mentioned, but I still continued on to the next stage.deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/karmic-ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Quote:I did the above, and herein lies a question... I used the "gedit Text Editor" to save the following "xbmc-ppa.key" file:If you wish to import the key via terminal, use enter the following: sudo apt-key add xbmc-ppa.key
- Click here to view the PGP key
- Select the text from the beginning of the keyblock to the end (including those lines)
- Copy that text to the clipboard (Edit -> Copy)
- Open your text editor from Applications -> Text Editor.
- Paste the key contents (Edit -> Paste)
- Save the document in your home folder as xbmc-ppa.key
- Reopen Software Sources, this time choosing the "Authentication" tab.
- Click "Import Key File" and choose the newly created xbmc-ppa.key and press OK.

Quote:Now that the repo and key have been added, install XBMC like any other program.Now, everything *seems* to be working now, and the program is found in the proper spot. When I click on it to run it, there's minimal hard drive activity, and then it stops. The program never starts.XBMC is now installed and ready for use.
- Click System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
- Click "Reload"
- Search for "xbmc"
- Mark xbmc and xbmc-standalone for installation and mark additional changes when prompted.
- Click "Apply" and agree to the changes after reading them.
