Hi there...

I am trying to run XBMC on a xubuntu install 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) but the darn thing doesn't seam to install.... Is it not yet in the xbmc ppa or somthing?

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-standalone
sudo apt-get update

As I understand it from the wiki these are the terminal commands needed to install the XBMC application.... but I get this error....

Code:

~$ sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-standalone
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package xbmc
E: Unable to locate package xbmc-standalone
~$

I am pretty sure this means that the maverik ppa hasn't got the application in it yet.. is that correct?

I did it with the first 3 steps on this guide:

[csbook]

https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-svn/+archive/ppa

The "svn" version has the Dharma beta, and that exists for Maverick... I installed it today.

I think once Dharma is released it will be on the one you're using.

How do I add the SVN builds?

How do I add the SVN builds?

Type these two commands in a terminal

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Now you can install XBMC from the SVN.

cool that works...

So I install off the svn, then when the stable release comes out I just remove the svn repositories and run...

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
sudo apt-get update

and now it should be the stable version?

rc1 is still not in the ppa... so you need to still use the svn ppa to install on mavrick... (as far as I know)

rc1 stands for release candidate 1 so you will not find it in official ppa, only svn ppa, when rc2 comes out it will be the same so no need to post here

I have followed many threads on the forum and all seem to say that I have an issue with my repository.

I have tried the following ...

add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/next

All of these seem to go without an issue, but when I try to follow this with an
apt-get update, then I see a fair many 404 errors on sources and packages.

then when I try to do the installation

apt-get install xbmc xbmc-standalone

I get the following errors.
root@MediaC:~# apt-get install xbmc-standalone
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package xbmc-standalone

Please help me, if I do not get some good advice I am going to downgrade my ubuntu version to see if I can get this to work.

Thanks.
