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?

give us the output of
apt-cache policy xbmc

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

[wsnipex]

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
