Thanks! When trying to upgrade from either the SVN PPA or the Hardy PPA I always am told that xbmc and xbmc-common on Ubuntu Hardy, just after doing a worldwide apt-get update then apt-get upgrade.

Any insight on how to upgrade to this build?


- wattazoum - 2008-08-14

I don't get what you mean ... :/

Anyway, A bug has been discovered in alpha3. You might not want to install it. I am waiting for a decision of the team to release a new version.

The problem, I believe, is only with release executables - does PPA use release binaries?

Cheers,
Jonathan

PPA is basically a way to release precompiled stuffs. It's like a "./configure, make, make install". The binary and the source code used to compile are on the PPA.
When I installed the PPA version on my machine, I got a segfault in the xbmc.bin.

Any news about this? Seems(at least to me) like that should be an easy decision? Quite a few people canĀ“t run the alpha 3 at all.

Will there be a fixed version on the PPA, or should we build our own instead?

Doh! Sure wish I'd seen this before I updated and then posted a bunch of questions asking for help.

Just a thought from a newb; if there's a problem with the last PPA might it not be prudent to remove it and put beta 2 back up until a decisions been made on how to move forward?

I don't suppose there's an easy way to go back to beta 2 at this point?


- wattazoum - 2008-08-14

PPA version updated . The new alpha 3 version is called 8.10 alpha 3 (codename Atlantis ) .
I have personally tested that it runs now :-)

Have fun

Seems to work, thanks! Smile


- yellowman - 2008-08-14

Yeah, that one worked like charm Laugh Thanks a bunch for fixing it so fast!


- UncleDirtNap - 2008-08-15

No joy on my end, still not working. I completely removed xbmc and reinstalled using the PPA and have the same problem: screen flashes black as if starting then crashes to desktop taking the mouse with it. Is there something else should be doing?

When I try to run in a terminal I get the error message:

../xbmc/util.h:70: int MathUtils::round_int(double): Assertion 'x > static_cast <double>((-2147483647 1) / 2) - 1.0' failed Aborted

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 updated as of 08/14 on an x86 Core 2 Duo 3.0 2G ram and an an ATI HD Radeon 2600

Is there some place I can send or post the log?

Are you sure you are running the right version ? cause this was the problem in the last alpha3 .

Try to use :
Code:
dpkg-query -W xbmc
to get the version . It should be 8.10a3-hardy1

Wattazoum, please build all alpha and beta releases with debugging enabled (ie. do NOT pass --disable-debug to configure). These builds are for the team to improve XBMC and users cannot provide us with useful backtraces if the binary doesn't include debug symbols.
