A few people been wondering how to easily enable or install XBMC on Ubuntu. It’s rather easy and I have said how to do it before. BUT Ubuntu Karmic makes life a bit easier if the repository used the PPA system.
The old way to add a repository to your source list was to go through the command line or through your favorite gui tool. Through there you had to add the full path to the repository and then add the security key. Now things are simpler:
From the command line you only have to enter this one command and it will take care of everything for you:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
And … that’s it. It will add the correct repository for you and add the security key. Fun! After you add the repo, don’t forget to update:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade
With this you’ll get all the latest and greatest XBMC updates to your front door and no more security issues! Hurray.
edit: You can access information about the team-xbmc ppa here.
edit2: Also more info about PPA’s and XBMC in the PPA’s here at the XBMC forum.
What do you think about this? Let me know by sounding off in the comments!
