XMBC not in repository? But XBMC is! [SOLVED]
« on: December 15, 2012, 06:21:12 AM »
Greetings folks, I just did a fresh install of 2012.08 minime on my laptop. (Nightshifts at work 'eh? gotta keep busy somehow!) I wanted to add XMBC to it as I'm running it on the windows part of this dual boot, but cannot find XMBC in the repository. Now, I did search the forums and google-fu'd for a couple hours now but no luck. Has it been temporarily taken down due to issues with the new release as mentioned in some older posts? Please help a newb out. ;D

Cheers,
  hlid.

Make a reload to get the current package list, and then search again for it.
Maybe you have some updates, try this at first...

Thanks, but I'm apparently up to date. It's the main reason I'm scratching my head.  ???

Edit: Should I add more than the 2 default repositories?

Never use more as 1 repository, and the second for megagames, use an another
Repository.

What is your current repo?

Code: [Select]
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
Where is no
Code: [Select]
# for the url is your current repo

XBMC not XMBC

XBMC not XMBC

Holy dyslexic-embarassment batman!!! I can't check that right now, but there's a staggeringly huge chance that I wasted hours due to transposing those letters.

Please, everyone enjoy the good laugh, you earned it and I deserve it. Thanks for all the help, sincerely. I'll be back on my shift tonight and let you know how things went. Once I get comfortable with PCLinuxOS and it can mimic everything my current home network does, our house is making the migration! (Which is a statement, we have like 7 pcs alone since we stream everything from the net and home server for TV in addition to your standard computer addictions. And I have teenagers!) Cheers!
