This is what I get when running sudo apt-get -y install xbmc:
P.S.
I think the lonelycoder connect issue is due to TVHeadend being installed. I could never get it to work (US) so I don't really need it.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbmc: Depends: xbmc-data (= 2:10.00~svn35648-lucid1) but 2:10.00~svn33324-jaunty1 is to be installed
Depends: xbmc-skin-confluence (= 2:10.00~svn35648-lucid1) but 2:10.00~svn33324-jaunty1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
Ok I removed dependencies for lucid from my sources.list. and re-ran the apt-get -y install xbmc. It installed ;-)

static ip - jimk72 - 2011-04-05
Ok so I spent about 6hrs trying to figure out how to do a live install on a usb with revo 1600. ended up using 2 usb pen drives and lots of patience then I found this post when trying to figure out how to set up a static ip on my revo. could have saved me lots of time lol. Everything else is working perfect, even HD movies in full surround sound
I have read through almost this entire post and found nothing of static ip setting. So maybe its not specific to any hardware but I thought I would ask here first.So how do I set a static IP with XBMC live installed on USB drive in a revo 1600?
I assume I need to log in to ub but then what do I type? Just dont want to mess it up as its working perfect now but I have a very complex home network and prefer static ips for access and peace of mind.

I can't speak for setting it on ubuntu (press cntrl+alt+f1 (or f2-f6) to get the shell if you know how to use that....cntrl+alt+f7 to get back...returning to gui will sometimes freeze, just restart)
The easiest way I know to set the IP static for any client is to set DHCP reservation on your router (most if not all have the option to reserve a certain IP address for a certain MAC Address.
Images as examples below (this may not be an option if you have a special setup.
USB Install - TheDean - 2011-04-05

It attempts to install drivers for a CD drive, which their isn't one, then the install aborts!

i'm not sure but i think it has something to do with some incompatibility between ubuntu and unetbootin.
you can try hitting 'tab' or 'e' to edit the grub menu then adding:
Code:
cdrom-detect/try-usb=truethe easiest (most expensive) solution would be to buy a usb dvd burner so you can burn the iso to a cd (kinda' ruins the purpose of buying a small form factor nettop).
anyone else got any other ideas.

Thanks for the help! setup my router. will try the other method also!

I remember having this problem when I did my setup. Fortunately I have a external xbox 360 hddvd drive which I connected and installed from cd.

I have a usb dvd r/rw that is ONLY ever connected when I need to install XBMC on a new system....otherwise it just sits in a drawer. I couldn't get the usb option to work either...I just bit the bullet and spent the 50ish for the cd drive.
usb install - phear - 2011-04-06
TheDean - what usb version are you trying to install?
Try downloading the latest one from xbmcfreak.
I have never had a problem with the ones from there.
- schneidz - 2011-04-06
^ if memory serves right thats what i did for xbmc-9... i was so afraid of not being able to replicate it for xbmc-10 that i never downloaded the live iso. i just did a 'sudo apt-get install xbmc' to update to the latest version from xbmc-9 (i also did a dd image backup of the 2 gb drive for safe keeping).
- popular.me - 2011-04-09
are you guys using the xbmcfreak's version of 10.1? or you're using the regular 10.1?
