I get the following error after this command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa[/b]

Try adding the lines to /etc/apt/sources.list manually. Ubuntu's ppa obviously doesn't recognise rebecca. Rebecca is based on trusty I think? So you need to add these lines:
deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src
http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu trusty main
You'll need to add the key too, or you'll get error messages about untrusted packages. Unfortunately I can't recall the key sequence for that...
PS I think it's something like
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A HEX NUMBER HERE NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.
Hi,
The commands to add the key are:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 91E7EE5E
gpg --export --armor 91E7EE5E | sudo apt-key add -
Hi,
And if we want latest Kodi. We should add those lines to /etc/apt/sources.list manually:
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu trusty main
And after that we should do:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-bin
Just a note that with the ppa's already installed in 17, after upgrading to 17.1 they remain and all that is required to update to most current beta is
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi
i.e. if already present under 17, there is no need to re-add the packages or keys.
Note also that using the /ppa package will install the last xbmc version, (current stable version) 13.2
If you want Kodi 14 Release candidates, you need the /unstable package.
I was able to install kodi by following these instructions. Thank you very much for that! But I have now a new problem. One addon doesn't seem to work in kodi (ruutu.fi) and I would like to try if it would work on xbmc 13.2, but I am unable to install xbmc. When trying to add team-xbmc/ppa I get the same error as in the first post. I have added lines in sources.list, but that won't help - still the same error. Unstable package work just fine, but one can't install xbmc using that...(?)
Any ideas how to install xbmc 13.2 instead of kodi?
Code:
apt-cache policy xbmc
sudo apt-get install xbmc=2:13.2~git20140817.2155-final-0trusty xbmc-bin=2:13.2~git20140817.2155-final-0trusty

Great! Thanks!
I had to do the same thing to get TV headend to install. I'm going to flag that with the Mint team.
Nothing to do with the mint team, it is controlled by the ppas you have installed.
