With live having serious problems with samba and windows 7 shares and the very old live cd not working for me I always follow a minimum linux install guide.

But now al the PPA’s seem to be messed up, and I can’t install XBMC anymore none of the tutorials work anymore.

Normally I add the following lines to my sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

using key

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 64234534

And then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc

Now I getting :

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbmc: Depends: xbmc-common (= 9.11~alpha1-jaunty1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xbmc-skin-pm3-hd (= 9.11~alpha1-jaunty1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xbmc-web-pm3 (= 9.11~alpha1-jaunty1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

So whats is going on? Are the launchpad sources changed etc?

Are the launchpad sources changed?

What do I put in my sources list to install recent build on 9.04 ubuntu?

Thanks,-

If you're using Jaunty, you need libass3

You can get that dependancy in this PPA:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/karmic-ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/karmic-ppa/ubuntu karmic main

Yes I want to use Jaunty with the latest alfa2 release, because the
defective samba version in Karmic.

So let get this strait , If I want to use Jaunty and use the latest alfa2 release I have to install libass3?

How do I install libass3?

If I install libass3 I can continue using the tutorials as normal?

What is libass3 doing? Googel is not very clear on that and why all of sudden do we need it?

Thank you.

Correct

How do I install libass3?

Either add these repositories:
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

And let apt-get resolve the dependency on it's own.
(Mind: I'm not sure this actually works, but I think it will!)

Or do these commands instead:

Code:

wget https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/jaunty-ppa/+files/libass3_0.9.6-1xbmc1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libass3_0.9.6-1xbmc1_i386.deb

If I install libass3 I can continue using the tutorials as normal?

Yes, but mind that XBMC 9.11 is not build nor tested on Januty, it's meant to work on Karmic.

What is libass3 doing? Googel is not very clear on that and why all of sudden do we need it?

We need it because it's a new package in Karmic, and XBMC 9.11 depends on it. Like stated above: XBMC 9.11 is build to work on Karmic, not Jaunty. However libass3 is backported to Januty for those who need it (like you).

[voyager2]

It worked, thank you for your clear explanation.

[jonassw]

Which method did you use?

Did you add the lines to sources.list, or manually wget the deb-file and installed it with dpkg?

Just for future reference - if method 1 doesn't work it shouldn't be adviced if anyone else has the issue

[brookz]

I just did this and then it worked
wget https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libass3_0.9.6-1xbmc1_i386.deb
