See below for some short instructions on how to upgrade your existing XBMC Live installation to the latest SVN version. These instructions should also work for regular XBMC Linux users as well. It is particularly important to update your XBMC to the latest SVN version if you plan on using some of the latest and greatest plugins and skins. For example, after I installed the Aeon65 skin I noticed that the skin would crash when I would go to certain views... many of the people on the forums recommended upgrading to the latest XBMC build so I did exactly that... Add the repositories -- first open a nano editor for the third party sources list: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list Then copy and paste the following respository entries: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main Import the key: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 64234534 Update your repository list sudo apt-get update Then do the recommended upgrades: sudo apt-get upgrade Now install the latest XBMC: sudo apt-get install xbmc And reboot your system: sudo reboot I should note that after the installation / upgrade, I started getting an error message about needing OpenGL rendering enabled. A simple reinstall of the NVIDIA drivers will get you back up and running. The first time I ran into this problem I was pulling my hair out trying to get it fixed -- just read this post and you'll be back up and running in no time.

XBMClive Hi there great reading your informative articles, i am having trouble with xbmclive crashing on opening (says downloading TV show information" and sticks causing me to reboot machine. I have a dualboot setup with Windows 7 on another partition, will this method above wipe the windows 7 partition or is that safe? thanks |

... Some minor problem for me is that, I was not able to turn off or reboot my ION after the update and so I was forced to reinstall everything. I do need some dissertation help from you guys. |
