Hi!
I know to do the apt-get update && apt-get upgrade on xbmcbuntu to upgrade the packages. However, if there has been fixes done to XBMC, would they be rolled into this? Would I have to upgrade to the development version to get the latest fixes (or problems)?
Thanks!

XBMCbuntu includes the xbmc repository. If another stable version were to be released (say... 11.1), "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" would update xbmc as well. If you want the nightly builds you could add the unstable repository and disable the stable one (this is done via System Tools > Synaptic Package Manager > Settings > Repositories).

Ah, Jan-Erik, you read my mind. I saw the 7 pages of posts there, and I was wondering if the fix will be rolled into the stable version of xbmc. I was a little leery about upgrading to 12.10, but it looks like that might be the fix. Argh...
I didn't see the link in your signature that says how to upgrade to 12.10. Are you just upgrading the kernel with dist-upgrade, or actually updating Ubuntu to 12.10?

blm14 - after using the code that you have provided, will that still keep all my xbmcbuntu settings intact and install the new xbmc versions? Just want a bit of clarity regarding that. Thanks.
