XBMC won't start after upgrade - iraiam - 2013-01-31

Hi,

I have been messing with this for a few hours with no resolution, I did an update today and now XBMC won't start, it won't even get to the splash screen.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

When I try to start XBMC from therminal I get; "/usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin: undefined symbol: _ZTIN6TagLib5ID3v219Latin1StringHandlerE"

I did apt-get remove xbmc then rebooted
then apt-get install xbmc symptoms are unchanged

I also tried using purge, then renamed the remaining XBMC folders. after reinstalling I got xbmc.bin not found

I'm not sure what to do now, any suggestions?

apt-cache policy xbmc

I think I'm using an incorrect software source? I'm working on that now.

correct, that is not official Team Xbmc.

The error here is having two ppas that carry similar XBMC versions which is not a good idea because clearly packaging is done differently in both.
Purge all ppas that contain XBMC and insert and usae only one.

OK it's fixed now.

I did;
apt-get remove xbmc
apt-get autoremove (8 packages were removed)

switched to the official team xbmc repository

apt-get install xbmc

Everything is good now, all the add ons are still present, along with all the streaming sources (network attached storage)

Thanks much

Yes I overlooked that until I used the apt-cache policy xbmc. I don't remember when I was using the other build repository or when it got added back in or turned back on, Thanks again
