[Guide] Upgrade XBMC Live 10.1 (Dharma) installation into Eden
#31
When you get the question of replace any configuration file during update, choose "Keep". IE DON'T replace!
If that doesn't work, you can also try the guide and skip Point #9. Then the system files will be exactly as from XBMC-Live 10.1 (Dharma).

Thank you very much!!! I am completely helpless with ubuntu and had been trying to figure out the dreaded "audio failing to initialize"...this worked perfectly. The only issue i'm having is that i can't change skins. it downloads and appears to be enabled but the screen just blinks when trying to change to it and stays in confluence. oh well...i can live it for now. Thanks again!!

Just upgraded as had sound issues from a fresh install so rolled back to 10.1 and used your guide. Worked first time great....Only one problem I have is that I use aeon nox and in the xbmc.org skin downloads it still shows as an old version wheras the newer version isnt listed. Any ideas. I uninstalled the aeon nox I was using before eden update but cant re-install.A little bit of help (could) go a long way here.


All done found this if anybody has issues

Delete addons15.db from your userdata/databases/ folder
Check out my Fanart.tv stuff!
...........I also accept disc requests if image not on fanart.tv database !!!!

I followed your directions completely but after apt-get upgrade a blue window popped up, I said replace files. after than during the next rebooot instead of the xbmc splace i have a purple screen that says ubuntu 10-04 then nforce 2 smbus error. error probing smb2. any tips?


also i ran into no other errors in any part of the installation. Even said XBMC built successfully.

This is the screen that asks to to update GRUB configuration file. I'm at that stage now, but I'll chose to keep my local copy!

Something went screwy when I followed this... somehow my OpenGL went missing. So, I got an error saying missing GL.

Anyway, I reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers - and it's all now built OK.

I've not done the final step as yet... a bit nervous Smile

Is there a way of backing up the existing XBMC installation before I do the final step? So, if it doesn't go OK I can just revert back to the existing 10.1?

Thanks for the guide by the way.

Just a quick follow up to say that I successfully updated to Eden using your guide.

Thanks!

I'm trying to update my live USB stick install. When I get to the make -j4 step I get this...

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xbmc.bin] Error 1


then trying the next step I get this...

Copying XBMC binary to /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
install: cannot stat `xbmc.bin': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-binaries] Error 1

I ran make again without the -j4 argument and I didn't fine any error messages.

Any ideas about what is causing this, or how I can go forward?

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Thanks for this. Followed the instructions and appears to have installed ... any reason though that in the Hardware info about XBMMC it says "XBMC 12.0 APLHA1" rather than 11.0?

Mine is also displaying the same "XBMC 12.0 ALPHA1" as github sources are constantly changing https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc
I was able to compile/install XBMC 11.0 stable release from source http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/source/...1.0.tar.gz using the same instructions but have since gone back to using github exclusively

This worked for me on a fresh Dharma 10.1 Live CD / Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Install. However it does take a little over an hour on an Zotac IONITX-A-U. Does anyone know how I can make this a LiveCD or some sort of backup starting point? (so I can distribute to other systems with same specs?) Thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks a lot for working this out. It allowed me to retain most settings I used in 10.1. I am having a problem though...after following the installation instructions, it seems the user for xbmc does not have permissions to do things (such as download skins or save a skin preference). Every time I download a skin, it shows up in my list of enabled addons but after reboot it's gone and if I try to change a skin from confluence, it doesn't change...indicating I don't have permissions to save a preference.

I went to /user/share/ and noticed that all files and subdirectories of the xbmc directory had the owner of root.root so I ran a chmod -R xbmc.xbmc xbmx/ to change the owner of all files in the xbmc directory to my xbmc user and this did not help. Any suggestions?

Here are my logs for the action of downloading and trying to select a new skin:

It seems as though I'm having a similar issue to what is posted here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=86817. Is my xbmc trying to download incompatible addons from the 10.1 repo??
sorry for the repeat posts....but I found this in part of the logs I posted:

21:56:44 T:3077924672 DEBUG: CurlFile::Open(0xb4cf0d90) http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/dharma/sk....0.zip.md5

indeed it is trying to load Darhma addons...


Although I looked at /usr/share/xbmc/addons/repository.xbmc.org/addon.xml and the contents are such:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<addon id="repository.xbmc.org"
name="XBMC.org Add-ons"
version="2.0.3"
provider-name="Team XBMC">
<requires>
<import addon="xbmc.addon" version="11.0"/>
</requires>
<extension point="xbmc.addon.repository"
name="Official XBMC.org Add-on Repository">
<info compressed="true">http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/eden/addons.xml</info>
<checksum>http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/eden/addons.xml.md5</checksum>
<datadir zip="true">http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/eden</datadir>
<hashes>true</hashes>
</extension>
...

So I'm a bit confused where it is referencing the old addon repos, I will look further...

Creating a new Live CD is a bit complicated. But you can copy the once compiled setup files to a new box with Dharma.
Skip the "make distclean" after compile in the tutorial, and then copy the "xbmc" folder over to another Dharma 10.1 install. Change your location to "xbmc" and then just run this on the new box:

"apt-get install make"
"make install prefix=/usr"

All the setup files are already compiled once in the "xbmc" folder on the first machine. Then the "make install prefix=/usr" command will put the xbmc files into the right places.
Will save you some time.
