Mike,

I am not sure what UBUNTU is up to these days. I try every other new release, and always go back to Linux Mint.

So, you have done the install? And, have FRODO? Or, EDEN?

it is strange.... the xbmc repos are included in mint (I had installed it at one time) but not in ubuntu (the computer it is on now). 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 named something I would not have at first guessed before.
    Also verify you have the needed repos enabled.

        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
        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?
