wont install - nush - 2009-09-24 hi all ive been trying to install xbmc on my laptop through ubuntu 9.04 i think ive followed all the instruction including enabling multiverse and universe repose but all i get from my terminal is this message Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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 (= 9.04.1-jaunty1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xbmc-skin-pm3-hd (= 9.04.1-jaunty1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xbmc-web-pm3 (= 9.04.1-jaunty1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages can someone tell me what i am doing wrong. thanks - nush - 2009-09-25 hi wiz561 thanks for the reply, i will try that later, im not on my own laptop now. i will post back later nush - nush - 2009-09-25 hi wiz561 i tried that and this is the response apt-get update && apt-get install -f E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the list directory also the command i use to install xbmc is apt-get install xbmc thanks again nush - hikaricore - 2009-09-25 nush Wrote:hi wiz561 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f It seems it was assumed you knew to run package management programs with sudo. :p - nush - 2009-09-26 hi hikaricore i seem to have done a full circle as i am now getting the same message as the one i started with even with the sudo command nush - Cincinnatux - 2009-09-26 nush, it may be worth noting that there is a text error in the wiki regarding the Ubuntu install. I've been trying to get in touch with the wiki administrators, but no luck via IRC, so I'm posting it here directly. Hope this helps you: in the wiki (http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu%2C_a_Step-by-Step_Guide), under the section for "Adding the XBMC Repo," the text reads Quote: * Click "Add". For the Apt line type the following, substituting "jaunty" for your version: The Apt line *should* read: Quote:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main Please note that between "ubuntu" and "jaunty" the wiki inserts both a forward slash and a space; the forward slash is erroneous. GL! - nush - 2009-09-27 hi Cincinnatux thanks for that i removed all previous references to xbmc them re-followed the instructions and it know works, so i am now trying to find my way around it. thanks again nush |
