The Wiki tell me to do this... . .

Code:
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

but when I type sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-standalone It says unable to locate packaged

Here is the terminal output of that
Quote: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

So what should I do? Also I am using xubuntu not ubuntu.

<--------- EDIT

I still can not get this to installl... even using the "repo" installer.... following the wiki....

in the wiki is says....

Quote:* Click "Add" for each of the following. For the Apt line type the following, substituting "jaunty" for your version:

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

But what dose that mean " substituting "jaunty" for your version" ?
If you look at:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/

You will see all the distributions which are available:
jaunty
karmic
lucid

substitute the one you want to use. Big Grin
if you are using xubuntu maverick you need to use SVN ppa instead

p.s. why Xubuntu?
