Any other thoughts or recommendations? What did you end up doing Kitana?

I simply followed the steps using X3lectric's guide under the heading "Upgrading existing XBMCLive with via compile of GIT source" referenced back in the OP. The two guides appear virtually identical except for a couple of omissions under X3lectric's guide. The two skipped lines were lines 7 & 8 in step 12 (plus some minor change in sequence)

# apt-get clean
# apt-get autoremove

There may also have been a download hiccup somewhere during "git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git" that held me up similar to lillebri's experience above. It was my 3rd attempt (twice using Milleman's guide) and finally X3lectric's guide that eventually got it to compile properly.

So Kitana your saying I should try and leave out the two commands:

# apt-get clean
# apt-get autoremove

currently ive ran the:

#git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git like 5 times in a row with it failing everytime today. last time it just stalls on me.

Would skipping the above two commands help alleviate any of this?

Does anyone have a workaround this part?

EDIT: By leaving out the two above commands the #git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git went through the first time. Dont know why but so far so good.

Big thanks for this post

On my first machine I had excatly the same issue as kitana
But I then re-ran


This was about my 3rd attempt of running this bit of the process as I had previously tried the install line-by-line of the items, on the 3rd attempt it found an item to update/install

Then it worked fine

My second box upgraded without any issues whatsoever! (just instling now!)

Would be great if this was added to the wiki as it seems relatively specific to XBMC live/ xbmcbuntu
xbmcbuntu

Okay, I've found the line that caused the problem!
Did a walk-trough on the guide. The problem was the last line at point #12:


It will remove packages that isn't used. Unfortunately it will remove just the package (libssl-dev) we need for compiling XBMC. I have now updated the Guide and removed that line. So if anyone for now on follow the guide as written, it will be a success!

redoing it now, I will let you know how it turns out.

didn't work for me, the purple screen I stated above is still there although there is another message there.

I got a your disc drives are being inspected for errors message on the purple screen, didn't come up again though.

Strange. What hardware are you on?
CPU, M/B, Chipset, Graphics?

I'm using an Acer Revo 1600
chipset and graphics- NVIDIA ION LE

that is it. Had it for about 2 years...

And the XMBC-Live 10.1 (Dharma) works fine after installation, before upgrading to Eden?

I use this one: Zotac MAG HD-ND01-K

The only difference I see, is that I got 2 CPU cores.

yeah, no problems. I ran everything like you said the only strange part was the blue screen asking me to replace something (which i shouldn't have)
