Code:
sudo add-apt-repository [b]ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc[/b]
On another note if you dont mind me asking, Where do you stand with respect of people googling or be bothered to read threads or even search the forums? :confused2:
Hope that answers your question.
cheers.
Hi there (and hi to everyone else that replied).
I guess that I assumed (yes, I'm well aware of the dangers) that since Natty was out for at least 3 months, there would be a stable version. Typically when I read "unstable" I think beta or alpha, and avoid it for the stable versions (unless of course I'm in an official beta for the application). As for Google and forum search, I'm finding that isn't always the easiest/best method for finding the information. Here's an example:
I compiled XBMC from source (using the XBMC wiki which I googled). Now, I have to remove it, so I can install either the maverick version (stable) or the unstable version. When I google it (uninstalling xbmc when compiled by source/uninstalling xbmc/removing xbmc/etc) I don't find anything useful at all. In fact, the XBMC wiki entry for "Installing/Running/Uninstalling XBMC" only discusses "Installing".
I realize it's probably something simple like "sudo rm -rf xbmc" but before I try that, I want to make sure. After all, I'd hate to bork my entire system over a fluke. (And I realize this isn't the proper thread for this issue, I'm using it to make a point that sometimes the best way to get the answer is just to ask).
Have a great day, and thanks everyone for the answers.
Patrick.
