Hi all,
I could do with some friendly advice if possible.
I've currently got an Acer Revo which dual boots directly into XBMC or Win 7.
I've not used it for a while, but when in XBMC today, a message popped up saying my version was out of date (v13 I think it was) & I should upgrade.
Last time I upgraded it was via a USB pen, but I read earlier I could now do this via the terminal, great I thought....
Anyway, I exexuted the following commands:
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get upgrade
Sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Everything updated, but upon booting up again, it took me to some GUI log in screen, which I'm assuming is the OS version of XBMC & not the version I had (I think it was a Live version) & throwing up errors about hardware acceleration.
Can anyone tell me where I went wrong for future reference & the latest version I can install to give me back my original dual boot version which boots directly into XBMC ? Is there still a live version (XBMC freak also rings a bell). There are so many versions now, I'm lost to which is relevant for my set-up.
Also assuming I now need to download an ISO & install it via USB again ?
Thanks in advance.
Chris
