    You ran these two lines:
    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:indicator-multiload/stable-daily 
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install indicator-multiload
    And got said errors? I just installed the repo and had no issue reaching it.

    The error is unrelated.
    There is no xbmc release for oneiric in that ppa so it is returning an error.
    Code:
    http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-amd64/Packages
    If you go to that ppa in the browser you get a 404 Not Found page.

    eg in the browser goto
    Code:
    http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/
    and you will see there is no oneiric folder.


    Whereas if you change it to maverick
    Code:
    http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages
    You get a package details page.

    Have you or did you try to install xbmc?

    No such file or directory.

    Open software sources and unmark that ppa.

    I also saw that page in OmgUbuntu and I was able to install indicator -multiload without any problems.

    I do notice one thing. The code to install indicatior-multiload is:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:indicator-multiload/stable-daily
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install indicator-multiload
    But the error messages that you have posted show that you are trying to install a completely different program - XMBC.

    If you open Update Manager you will see a button marked Settings. click on that button and go to the Other Software tab. There you will see a list of those ppa that have been put as Software Sources. You can uncheck then or remove them by clicking the Remove button.

    Regards.

    Under the Other Software tab look for the xbmc ppa you added.
    Could be 2 entries...one for deb packages and one for source code.
    Unmark or remove them.
