Upgrading xbmcbuntu - wiz561 - 2012-04-29 Hi! I know to do the apt-get update && apt-get upgrade on xbmcbuntu to upgrade the packages. However, if there has been fixes done to XBMC, would they be rolled into this? Would I have to upgrade to the development version to get the latest fixes (or problems)? Thanks! RE: Upgrading xbmcbuntu - Plaguester - 2012-04-29 XBMCbuntu includes the xbmc repository. If another stable version were to be released (say... 11.1), "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" would update xbmc as well. If you want the nightly builds you could add the unstable repository and disable the stable one (this is done via System Tools > Synaptic Package Manager > Settings > Repositories).

Hi wiz561, if you experience freeze in current version, upgrade to the developer version of Linux (12.10) fix this. (see my signature) Here's the link to that discussion http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=119855&page=7 RE: Upgrading xbmcbuntu - wiz561 - 2012-04-29 Ah, Jan-Erik, you read my mind. I saw the 7 pages of posts there, and I was wondering if the fix will be rolled into the stable version of xbmc. I was a little leery about upgrading to 12.10, but it looks like that might be the fix. Argh... I didn't see the link in your signature that says how to upgrade to 12.10. Are you just upgrading the kernel with dist-upgrade, or actually updating Ubuntu to 12.10? RE: Upgrading xbmcbuntu - blm14 - 2012-04-30 Your best bet is to compile from git. This assumes you have an NVIDIA card: do this stuff once: Code: sudo apt-get install git-core Note that the above will add the nvidia x-swat repo which will give you the most up to date nvidia drivers. All that stuff above you should run once. The sudo as root so you're in a root shell (makes the next step easier): this should also be only run once, the first time: Code: sudo su -- root Then to keep up to date: Code: sudo su - root RE: Upgrading xbmcbuntu - Jan-Erik - 2012-04-30 Ah, no need to pannic :-) See if you have a new boot option under "Previous Linux versions" with the upgraded Linux, looks like the upgrade make two boot options and the one ending in "generic-pae" break the system. Post #66 in the link I posted yesterday explain this (2012-04-29, 23:01)wiz561 Wrote: Ah, Jan-Erik, you read my mind.

Can't really say, I'm new to this thing, just have to count me lucky to have such good new friends here in the forum (and maybe lucky to find the remedy before I broke the system further) RE: Upgrading xbmcbuntu - gmathews - 2012-05-18 blm14 - after using the code that you have provided, will that still keep all my xbmcbuntu settings intact and install the new xbmc versions? Just want a bit of clarity regarding that. Thanks. RE: Upgrading xbmcbuntu - VanillaXtract - 2012-05-23 As long as you install over your old version of xbmc which I believe is $HOME/xbmc. Also this just upgrades xbmc and leaves ubuntu alone. I did: Code: $ make install DESTDIR=$HOME/xbmc RE: Upgrading xbmcbuntu - newb2linux - 2012-09-23 keep getting Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform. error help? RE: Upgrading xbmcbuntu - Spacedementia87 - 2012-09-23 I tried to upgrade like this and I get told I need OpenGL support. Using the .generic version rather than the pae does not help. I still get the same error. Seem to have fucked my system so I need a reinstall. boo |
