Just go turn them on and you should be all set.

This is

what confused me! Thanks for saying that it is a PPA! With that

information I was able to locate tghe repository for xbmc.

Verify that the pa mage is indeed called xbmc? I have seen
packages
<br>
named something I would not have at first guessed before.
Also
<br>
verify you have the needed repos enabled.

well, I decided to move my secondary computer into the
living
<br>
room and just run xmbc as a program (bummer). So I go to
a
<br>
terminal and:
<br>
<br>
~$ sudo apt-get install xbmc
<br>
Reading package lists... Done
<br>
Building dependency tree
<br>
Reading state information... Done
<br>
E: Unable to locate package xbmc
<br>
<br>
so update my apt database but that doesn't help any.
Then I do a
<br>
little web searching and find that apt-get is the way I
should
<br>
do it. I found the '=Installing_XBMC_for_Linux#Ubuntu_2'
page
<br>
and it implies that xmbc id in the official ubuntu
repository so
<br>
apt should do it.
<br>
<br>
So please, what am I doing wrong?
