I just installed the PPA for Hardy and XBMC starts but then suddenly closes outputting a core file. Is there a way to check to see what may be giving that problem?
Running Hardy on a Dell Precision M-90 17" Laptop.
Thanks!

Yes, read the sticky about how to provide the necessary data.
Along with the backtrace, please provide the /var/tmp/username-xbmc.log (pastebin).

Have you by any chance set WINS in your /etc/resolv.conf? Or made any changes to that?
There is an ubuntu(or related package) bug with that where it crashes.

Okay, then we will need to see the backtrace.
Please start a new thread.

Not yet. For the mean time build on intrepid is a breeze with the build.sh script.
Run the svn command. run the apt-get commands (tweak as needed), run build.sh, launch the binary and enjoy xbmc.

Please keep in mind i'm a Linux noob. I've installed linux as a secondary OS in a PS3 and im now trying to install xbmc (without success). I've already downloaded the packages as described in this thread, but xbmc doesnt show up in add/remove programs and the command:
"sudo apt-get install xbmc" does not work.
Is this a problem with the ps3 architecture or user error?

We really need a sticky for this.
XBMC for linux doesn't run on your PS3, your dreambox, your xbox360, your cable box, your popcornhour box, a tivo box, a tissue box, a pizza box, Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box, your Cap'n Crunch cereal box, Valve's Orange Box, a vintage 1986 transformers lunch box, the black box from Oceanic Flight 815, Ernest & Julio Gallo's White Zinfandel in a box, a Jack in the Box, or Pandora's box. Just because your weird hardware runs some variety of linux, that doesn't mean you can run XBMC on it.
It only runs on intel linux, and you need a fast CPU and openGL 2.0 support.
Please see HOW-TO Submit a proper Bug Report and create a ticket at the tracker. Once created please attach the resulting backtrace and your xbmc.log.
