[LIVE] XBMC broken after upgrade from B4 to RC2
#1
So here's the deal:

System:
MSI k9vgm-v
ATI radeon hd 2400 xt
2gb ram
Installed Dharma beta 4 (live cd) successfully onto a usb stick.
Works swimmingly well for a couple of weeks.

I then do

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc

I can't remember where I found this, but it was a forum post here that recommended to do this when you installed live onto disk.

Anyway, now my htpc boots into a blank screen, where keypresses simply output code and return does nothing. The weird thing is, I can get into the CLI and Putty no probs. But when I hit ctrl-alt-(f7 or f8 can't remember), it flickers once or twice then goes back to a blank screen.

To try and fix it I've tried:

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade xbmc

to no avail.

I've also tried

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc

also without results.


Anyway, I'd greatly appreciate any help. Cheers.

Hi,

You might want to look at this guide http://boshdirect.com/blogs/tech/upgrade...t-svn.html.
It worked flawlessly for me, when I upgraded the latest official release (installed on my Zotac Zbox) to XBMC-Dharma RC2.

Thank you so much.

It also worked flawlessly for me.

I think the magical line that fixed it was:

Code:
sudo apt-get clean

as that was the only thing I hadn't tried.

here's the full code for anyone else having this problem:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc
sudo reboot

Again, thank you, Poul.
