Mike,

Which version of XBMC are you trying to run - EDEN or FRODO? FRODO is the latest, and greatest. I'm running FRODO right now, and have CBS with the Super Bowl running in the background.

BTW, which Linux Distro are you running? If UBUNTU or Linux Mint (I run Mint) I just added the 2 PPA to my repositories. If a .rpm Distro you might just want to Google for the PPA install of the latest. I actually am not sure if FRODO has gone final, but last I looked I was running RC3, but it would up-date in Terminal when I ran the usual sudo apt-get update / upgrade.

well, I decided to move my secondary computer into the living room and just run xmbc as a program (bummer). So I go to a terminal and:

~$ sudo apt-get install xbmc

background. Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package xbmc

so update my apt database but that doesn't help any. Then I do a little web searching and find that apt-get is the way I should do it. I found the '=Installing_XBMC_for_Linux#Ubuntu_2' page and it implies that xmbc id in the official ubuntu repository so apt should do it.

So please, what am I doing wrong?
