[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

Hi thopiekar,

this is a urgent problem.

Unfortunalety xbmc is not in the core of Ubuntu. It resides in "Universe".

This ment that this problem needs to be reported upstream.

Normally I would do this for you and link back here.

I have found for xbmc on their homepage a wiki that describe how they want to have a report:

http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_submit_a_proper_Bug_Report

Regarding to this document there must be provided some more information and presented in the right form.

Could you do that.

The wiki page links also to the bugtracker(in 2 steps).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
