If you have found your way here then you have probably run into some trouble adding the fantastic Boxee media center to your nice new Karmic Koala ubuntu.
Oh and why not have a good dnb mix to enjoy whilst your working through:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
As far as I can tell it is not properly set into the repositories so I have detailed below a relatively pain free method for installation.
I am working on the assumption that you are comfortable installing applications from a shell and gui and you will need to do both, so here goes:
1. Inside your gui, download and install each of the following
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/liblzo1/download
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libdirectfb-1.0-0/download
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libkrb53/download
2. Add the following line to your sources.list file (do not change the ‘jaunty’ to ‘karmic’, you will just get a 401 error)
deb http://apt.boxee.tv jaunty main
3. Update apt
sudo apt-get update
4. Install boxee
sudo apt-get install boxee
And your done, enjoy!
