As of now, AFAIK, XBMC doesn't work in native 64-bit mode. However, most 64-bit versions of OSes also run 32-bit apps so you might be able to get the current version running on your 64-bit installation. Maybe someone who has tried this can chip in.

I'm cool with continuing to use 32bit for now i guess until this works. I don't want to upgrade just to try it. I don't know if things are as easy to run as it is for x64 running 32bit (which to date is easy for me, and problem free.) or if some special compiling needs to be done to work the same on Linux. Still learning, but fast. I love, LOVE Ubuntu so far. Somewhat easy for a win user, out of the various ones i've tried to date. XBMC works great on it, easy to compile and update and all.
I'd like to read some good positive feedback here if someone does get it working fine, or even mentions it DOES work fine using 32bit version even on top of 64bit Ubuntu.

1. there is a patch in SF for the python code -- try applying it and see if it's better. if it is, I will apply it to svn.
2. this problem also occurs in 32-bit...haven't been able to track it down, yet

Progress update:
Disabled Python and the GUI came up.
Searching for a samba share crashed it.
Trying to play a video didn't work (but it didn't crash).

Odd, the python crash goes away if I compile from source. It doesn't actually help anything though because it still can't load the python engine, it just doesn't crash anymore.
