Now that Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has been release, how long before we get a XBMCbuntu build that has it as a base?
I have read its solved a number of instability problems with the 11.* builds, especially the video streams failing to start. (which affected me too)

patience is a virtue...
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting. Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules. For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first. ![[Image: badge.gif]](http://www.ohloh.net/projects/149/badge.gif){kind=icon} |

A week, a month? |

I do not think the dev team will spend its time on building a new version of the live CD every time an Ubuntu release comes out. It's not as simple as just dropping in one ISO for another. I might be mistaken, of course.

You could try:
sudo do-release-upgrade Not sure if this will work for xbmcbuntu and it could break your system... XBMC Steam Launcher - Only available for XBMC. |

Is there a particular reason the OP wants to upgrade to Precise? There's always the minimal Ubuntu install and then install XBMC afterward. There are threads devoted to that. |

Probably because of the freezing problem with vdpau enabled mentioned here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=119855 Everything seems to point towards 11.10 being the culprit, since a few people upgraded to 12.04 and got rid of the freezing that way. |

It's not as simple as just dropping in one ISO for another. I might be mistaken, of course. Ubuntu 12.04 is not just a "simple release", but an LTS (i.e. Long Term Support) - only released every 2 years & are the more "stable" OS's out of the bunch. Because I want my HTPC (& other/production systems) to be a stable system, it's still running on the last LTS, 10.04, so I'll be upgrading my XBMC to the XBMCbuntu once it's released. I would expect it to come out in a few weeks, maybe. |
