Go to terminal (yes you could ssh into box)

Enter user details

username = xbmc
password = xbmc

unless yours are different

then enter

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mario-sitz/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Code:

sudo nano /etc/uxlaunch/uxlaunch

then type the following at the very bottom of this file

Code:

tty=8
session=/usr/bin/xbmc-standalone

then press Alt + X then Y and then press the "enter/return key" to confirm save

now type

Code:

sudo reboot

Now the XBMC box will reboot and startup with the latest SVN.

Please note this might not be the best or correct way to do it but it worked for me.



Good Luck with your attempt

Please can I have a thumbs up from anyone this helps because it took me 2 whole days to work this out.

[bertybassett]

lol no shutdown or USB pen support. I seem to remember XBMCfreak having these issues I will look into that and see if a fix can be found there.

No USB Automount?

then press Alt + X then Y and then press the "enter/return key" to confirm save

For me I need to use Ctrl + X

It all installed without error so now I will test it out to see if I have any issues.

Many thanks for this quick guide.

I have no sound... hmmm Something to do with Alsa?

[t2ffn]

Yep, alsamixer was muted.

Onwards with the testing but many many many thanks for this!

DO NOT USE COMMAND:

PHP Code:

sudo apt-get update 


after installing the above, it has killed my install, now when XBMC loads I get a partial skin but have no control so I will have to wipe and start again.

So, installed again on a clean partition. This time I also have no USB auto mount and can only listen to any sound through my receiver. If I turn the receiver off so it simply passes to the TV, I get a crackling noise. Don't think this happened on the first install. Bizarre. Roll on EdenLive!

That command only updates the list of available downloads, nothing else.
This however would use that list and upgrade any out of date software to the latest version, which may cause you troubles:
"sudo apt-get upgrade"
