fritsch.. Linux noob question.. How can I safely switch to your recent kernel and delete the old versions via terminal?
System is booting into your v999.

you can purge any kernels you don't need:
Code:
apt-get purge linux-image***
apt-get purge linux-headers***
or you could alter your grub loader to load the kernel you prefer
Thanks loco.. I didn't touch the old kernels yet. I think I may need to change some boot config before purging them. Right?
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.0-rc3-drm-fixes14-v999-na+ linux-headers-3.13.0-rc3-drm-fixes14-v999-na+ will only remove the v999 image.
Ok..understood. But once I remove this, do I need to update anything to make the other 3.13.-rc3 kernel the default at startup?
No just install it. It will then have the highest version number and therefore load as first.
Looks like rc5 trusty mainline is back after the rc5 release. Just installed it on both my identical machines and my issue with rc4 on one of the machines is gone. Can't test video playback since I am remote but bootup/xbmc logs look good.

Strange: the fix for the bug we both had is not in upstream rc5 but has been committed just after. I still have an initialization problem that others usually only hit when restarting from resume. Sound like a missing initialization on my board from the BIOS and a missing video reinit on resume.

Probably, but it involves compiling so much from sources which is waste of resources in this case 
Depends who you ask.. some would consider it cleaner to compile from source against the updated libraries instead of linking new libraries over old and installing "fake" packages.
But.. both I'm sure are just as effective *shrug*.

Compiling from source gives you control over the whole process, patches applied etc and provides with the the latest code updates, no need to wait for a maintainer to update his stuff.
Also, you can create a script that does everything automatically, there is no need to do it manually if you use git. I have a script that updates the git's of mesa, drm, glamor, xf86-ati and builds+installs .deb packages from them (multiarch for mesa). Only interruption is when it asks for the password to install them.
Another noob question: How can I restart xbmc without rebooting the computer?
sudo service xbmc restart
PS: New year, new answer fee: 50 cents / answer :p
I use an alias for the following:
Code:
curl --data-binary '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Application.Quit", "id": "mybash"}' -H 'content-type: application/json;' http://xbmc:xbmc@localhost:8080/jsonrpc
With the guide here it will restart xbmc since it respawns.
