I recently bought an Acer Aspire Revo and had one of my trainees put XMBC on a SDHC card today. So after a bit of toying earlier, I started looking at the thing (from the command line that is).
One thing, if you enable the PPA (ppa.launchpad.net) sources, apt/aptitude is gonna babble something about an unverified key.

I ended up looking the error up (since I only have an Ubuntu desktop). There’s a simple solution for this:
1 2 3 4 5 |
for i in 2BBD133164234534 A956EB81318C7509 6D975C4791E7EE5E do gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys $i gpg --export --armor $i | apt-key add - done |
Alternatively you can also use this:

for i in 2BBD133164234534 A956EB81318C7509 6D975C4791E7EE5E apt-key adv --keyserver=wwwkeys.de.pgp.net --recv-key $i done |
One thought to “XBMC: Adding the ppa keys to apt”
