is there a guide anywhere on how to install RC2 on unbuntu?

Add the xbmc unstable ppa:

Quote:sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable

Refresh package lists and install xbmc

Quote:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xbmc

To remove xbmc and the ppa from your system

Quote:sudo ppa-purge ppa:team-xbmc/unstable

Thanks! If I install the new one without installing the old one, will it keep my settings?

daisychick · 2012-03-03, 19:18

oh, and it says it's at the newest version when i ran the update. I made sure to remove all other xbmc ppas. I'm running XBMC 11.0.RC1 according to system info.

Did you use the following to update? It usually won't work unless you do both of these in this order.

Code:
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

daisychick · 2012-03-03, 19:29

yep. just did that. same thing. still says it's the latest version.

Bootlegninja · 2012-03-03, 19:37

What version of Ubuntu are you running?

daisychick · 2012-03-04, 01:18

11.10

Should have worked unless you removed the PPA from your system. If you removed it, re-add it and update/upgrade. Just don't remove the PPA and you should be good.

daisychick · 2012-03-06, 13:26

Nope. Still no luck. The PPA is there but it says I have the latest version.

Code:
jess@mediaserver:~$ sudo apt-get install xbmc

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

xbmc is already the newest version.

does anyone know if this version can run on an amd A8-3850 processor w/Radeon HD 6550D

following this, I am still unable to upgrade from RC1.

interestingly enough, the repository is showing rc1 as the latest update.

Code:
jess@mediaserver:~$ sudo apt-cache policy xbmc
