well, i was running 12.0 and wanted to update to 12.1 via putty.
i used the following command since I've used it before to go from RC to 12.0 final.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
once I restarted the box, it shows i'm running 13.0 Alpha build date is April 1st, 2013.
The reason I have to resort to putty is for some reason, it wont boot into the usb thumb drive to do a fresh install. a screen shows up with 4 options...i forgot the title but the four options are:
1. ubuntu
2. safe mode ubuntu?
3. mem test
4. another mem test
selecting option one will boot into xbmc....I've never seen this boot screen before. it always used to boot directly to xbmc. that's why i want a fresh install.

Let me explain this, if you last were in XBMC this is what lightdm remembers so if you logged into XBMCbuntu you must logout and login to xbmc to get that as default... No need to go sledghammer on this.
Now because your actually in v13 and want 12.
Do this.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove xbmc xbmc.bin
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc.bin
And voila.
