Linux XBIAN for 64 bit download ONLY ???
Per the xbian downloads page:

http://www.xbian.org/download/

"Linux

You can download our Linux installer here. NOTE: Requires 64 bit Linux, X11 and Qt 5 or higher to be installed via your package manager. Must run in X11 session. You can also use DD and download the image below."

I use Linux, Ubuntu, Ver. 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) and it is a 32 bit OS. Does this mean I cannot download xbian and extract it to my Raspberry PI's SD Card? Or does this mean that a "dd" will dump the xbian file as a bit copy even if the computer "seeing" the download is only a 32 bit (That's OLD SCHOOL to you, pal!) OS. Does this mean I have to install Qt5 even with "dd"? I use the X Desktop, I guess. I know I use Gnome. X11 --what am I misunderstanding here?

Since joining this group in August, I have been trying to get Nazarko's "raspbmc" to work, then OpenELEC to work and all is failure.

I'm coming back to XBian. As for the response:

"Use dd and the image"

could you be a little less cryptic?

Which "image" and where do I get that specific code from?

I'm not scared of the command line, but "Use dd" is just too short. I get that the "image" will be disk-dumped onto the USB drive (or is that to be the sd card, as this is for a Raspberry PI?) and can figure it as /dev/sdc1, but other noobs (such as myself) could use a little more help.

Thanks in advance.

This: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xbian/files/release/XBian_1.0_Beta_2.img.gz/download

Extract the image and dd (disk dump I assume is what the command stands for) directly to your SDCard.

Terminal

dd if=/path/to/image of=/path/to/sdcard

I can't be specific as your SD may be in a USB adapter or whatnot. Be very careful with dd as you could write to the wrong disk/partition.
