Linux Ubuntu vivid kodi package broken
#1
Hi,

Hugely frustrated: I had kodi working on my raspberry pi in 15 mins as advertised.
I then bought an Intel NUC and have been struggling for ever.

I have Xubuntu 15.04 Vivid installed, this version seems to drive the video & sound correctly.
To install kodi I'm following the instructions here:

HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_for_Linux (wiki)

After adding the ppa:team-xbmc/ppa repos & apt-get update:

Quote:sudo apt-get install kodi

Get:22 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ vivid/main kodi all 2:15.0~git20150722.1043-final-0vivid [14.7 MB]
Fetched 27.9 MB in 16s (1,689 kB/s)
E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/u...id_all.deb Hash Sum mismatch

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

If I wget the same package manually & try to install it with dpkg it also says it's corrupt,
so it appears to be the package build ...

Quote:Unpacking kodi (2:15.0~git20150722.1043-final-0vivid) ...
dpkg-deb (subprocess): decompressing archive member: lzma error: compressed data is corrupt

Any ideas welcome!

PS Kodibuntu or windows are not options for me.

Do you have an issue with your internet connection?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

@fritsch: Well, I cannot explain it, but today it worked. I still have last nights pulled kodi
package on the PC, which inexplicably has a '-' instead of a '~' in it's name and is much smaller:

than what I get with wget today:

Quote:-rw-rw-r-- 1 fred fred 14717208 Aug 9 11:44 kodi_15.0~git20150722.1043-final-0vivid_all.deb

I also note the a filename variant with the '-' is not on the server.

Either there's something odd going on on the server, or I'll put it down to saturday night beer ...
