I have one problem after doing all this, but it's only Usplash (loading screen spinner instead of black screen or verbose boot) so I can live with it.
Which Ubuntu version are you running? If you have Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) you can do the following:
Upgrade to 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)
- Install update-manager-core if it is not already installed:
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
- edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal
- Launch the upgrade tool:
sudo do-release-upgrade
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
After this is finished (took about 45min on my Revo 1600)
Upgrade to 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) using the same procedure as last step.
After this is done (another 45-60min,) you need to re-add the repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
Then finish it up with
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get upgrade
Download the deb and install it:
Code:
wget http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libsmbclient_3.5.6~dfsg-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
And that's it.
Edit:
This thread has information on the splash screen
