installing xbmc on ubuntu netbook

[bklaas]

I just picked up a netbook (Dell Mini 9) on which I have Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) loaded. I'd like to be able to install XBMC through the Ubuntu PPA as described elsewhere in this forum, but after adding the repository to my sources list:

bklaas@bklaas:~$ sudo head -2 /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy/ubuntu hardy main
bklaas@bklaas:~$

and then updating/reloading to pick up those changes, I still can't get apt-get (or aptitude, or the synaptic gui) to know about xbmc

bklaas@bklaas:~$ sudo apt-get install xbmc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package xbmc
bklaas@bklaas:~$

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

The problem with installing XBMC on a Mini 9 is that the Mini tries to install lpia architecture debs, and the XBMC PPA doesn't provide any.

I was able to get it to install using dpkg and --force-architecture on each of the .deb files found here (hardy):
http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-hardy/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xbmc/

see this thread for more info on installing the .deb
