How to update XBMCLive to SVN PPA's and Bleeding Edge - newb2linux - 2009-07-10 01:14
How to Install XBMC-Live to My HTPC and Update to Bleeding EDGE
UPDATED * July 14th 2009
Added the line "sudo apt-get install xbmc" to the SVN PPA Section 5.)
Requirements:
XBMCLive CD
Internet conection
Putty (ssh program)
bit of knowledge
1.) Boot from XBMCLive CD 9.04
Install to HDD - follow prompts. [do not choose removable disk]
choose a password (don't forget it) EX: "xbmc"
eject and reboot
Were going to add the PPA's from wattazoum (good stuff wattazoum)
http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=33327
I choose SVN PPA's but this can be used as a template for any of the PPA's listed here. (don't forget to change your GPA keys tough)
https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-svn/+archive/ppa
2). ssh into xbmc user account using putty
username =xbmc
password =xbmc (what ever you choose)
3). add the deb's to the 3rd party sources.list
Code:
sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.listcopy and paste these lines
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty mainsave updated list. (press ctrl x, y and then enter)
4.) import the GPA key
Code:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 64234534Now you have updated the PPA's and have a valid key.
5.) update and upgrade the latest PPA's
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc
sudo rebootyou have now updated XBMC to the current SVN PPA's if you want to live on the edge keep reading.
OPTIONAL
BLEEDING EDGE update
(this is only if you dont mind dealing with possible bugs)
6.) Install build environment, install and build
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade***NOTE***
At the time of writing this --HOW TO-- there was a bug in the xbmc-live PPA's update.
if you see this error:
"xbmc-live
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
copy and paste this into terminal
Code:
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbmc-live.postinst
sudo pico /var/lib/dpkg/info/xbmc-live.postinstcopy this modified xbmc-live.postinst
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# postinst script for test

thx for the tutorial.
I'll do it on my new ion system.

I want to update my Live version but can I use the key you mentionover here:
4.) import the GPA key
Code:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 64234534
Now you have updated the PPA's and have a valid key.
or do I need a key of my own?
if that;s the case how can I obtain mine (sorry but I do not now anything about linux
)
- newb2linux - 2009-07-12 05:42
The GPA key above is the key you need for SVN jaunty PPA's. If you follow the howto line by line it will bring you to the latest SVN for jaunty. You can use wattazoum other PPA's if you wish but if you have installed from XBMCLive 9.04 you will be using jaunty anyway. I left his PPA info up there so other users could benifit from the how to as well.
If you take it to bleeding edge there are even more improvements. The only issue I can see is there is a problem with animated gifs. you will notice a small GFX problem with the favorite and power buttons. IMHO not an issue.
Let me know how it turns out.
- seninha - 2009-07-13 11:02
I followed al your steps and installed the latest version.
Also had the same problem with some aniimated gifs but for me that's not a problem.
But unfurtunally I had a bigger problem after doing this update.
Sound of some DVD's I stream from my server dont sync with the image
Strange thing about it is the fact that not all my movies have the same problem.
Some HD movies (MKV ) I tested worked fine.
To be sure I did it correct I installed the Live version all over again, and will try this aftrenoon to update it again to see if problems comes back.

Tut is exactly what I was looking for, but...
I've followed the guide word for word (copying and pasting), but now when my HTPC boots, instead of enterting the GUI, it's stuck at login screen.
Any ideas?

Lifesaver, thanks.
- sladflob - 2009-07-14 07:52
Thanks for the howto.
Is there any reason why you say to install to a HD? I am running XBMCLive off a memory stick, created from the XBMCLive boot menu with a writeable partition, and the update process seems to work fine. I'm guessing it's just so there's enough disc space if you want to download the sources?
Cheers,
james

From my understanding if you install XBMCLive as removable, it installs an IMG instead of the actuall directories and files.
I'm not sure if this has an impact on the directions above but i asumed it did. Were you able to use the "How To" on a removable disk and have it update?
