Hi guys, I've been struggling with upgrading my XBMCbuntu base distribution from 12.10 to 14.04. I currently have Gotham 13.0 but unfortunately can't get 13.1 due to it not being available for 12.10. I've been trying the standard upgrade via do-release-upgrade but get this error:
I then receive the following after I pressed yes a couple of times:
I'm sure I've messed up some ppa's somewhere, or something, but last night I received the error but it seemed to upgrade the distro (spent an hour doing all of that) but upon reboot it seemed to stay on 12.10. The list of my /etc/apt/ is:
apt.conf.d sources.list.d trustdb.gpg trusted.gpg.d
preferences.d sources.list.distUpgrade trusted.gpg
sources.list sources.list.save trusted.gpg~
With the list of sources.list.d being:
chris-lea-node_js-quantal.list
chris-lea-node_js-quantal.list.distUpgrade
chris-lea-node_js-quantal.list.save
plexmediaserver.list
plexmediaserver.list.distUpgrade
plexmediaserver.list.save
team-xbmc-ppa-quantal.list
team-xbmc-ppa-quantal.list.distUpgrade
team-xbmc-ppa-quantal.list.save
transmissionbt-ppa-quantal.list
transmissionbt-ppa-quantal.list.distUpgrade
transmissionbt-ppa-quantal.list.save
I know I shouldn't, but I'm really wanting to not have to do a fresh install if I can help it. I have a load of symlinks poking around in /storage/ and can't quite recall how I did it all! I've tried upgrading via usb but don't get the option with the latest xbmcbuntu build - just erase or install it by the side.
Quote:Updating repository information
No valid mirror found
While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the
upgrade was found. This can happen if you run a internal mirror or if
the mirror information is out of date.
Do you want to rewrite your 'sources.list' file anyway? If you choose
'Yes' here it will update all 'quantal' to 'raring' entries.
If you select 'No' the upgrade will cancel.
I then receive the following after I pressed yes a couple of times:
Quote:Invalid package information
After updating your package information, the essential package
'ubuntu-minimal' could not be located. This may be because you have
no official mirrors listed in your software sources, or because of
excessive load on the mirror you are using. See /etc/apt/sources.list
for the current list of configured software sources.
In the case of an overloaded mirror, you may want to try the upgrade
again later
