I have a XBMC Live Install on my Asrock ION 330HT-BD. But it is an RC version of XBMC. I would like to update it to 9.11and also I would like to update my nVidia Drivers.
Someone who can speed me up how do it? Little noobish here on the linux side.
PS: is there a way to skip the xbmc boot menu (where you can pick safe mode and such?)

I would like to know how to upgrade XBMC Live as well.
As to the boot menu, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst file. There should be an option for that.

Either just install the latest version, or do these commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f upgrade
Depending on a lot of things, upgrading the RC might just break it and you'll have to fix it. This seemed to happen between RC1 and RC2. But it was painless between RC2 and the released version. However, I'm not using Live but a handheld installation, so it might just be something related to how I installed everything in general.
I'm not that familiar with how the Live installation works, but the above commands should upgrade everything to their latest respective versions. Including your nVidia drivers.
ASRock ION 330, Lucid Lynx, XBMC Dharma (beta 2)

This is what I did:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Ok, so
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f upgrade (what's -f?)
and/ or (what's the difference)
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y (what's -y | && is stitching the commands to each other?)
How can I check if it went succesful, or check the current version?
If I install the final of 9.11 (xbmcfreak.nl has one made a live version for the ion 330), i can update in the future to another new stable version of xbmc?
The problem is that I have a complete configured system and don't want to loose all the views, database and settings, by doing a fresh live installation!

And I don't see why you wouldn't be able to ugprade xbmcfreak.nl's live image.
Thanks for the (non quoted) info, i am learning linux as I read posts here
I found the XBMC version number (still the RC), but I can't find the nVidia driver version. Is that also updated with the update commands??
Well, can that be an non-data loss upgrade? I guess if I choose "install to hd" while booting this new live cd, it will make a fresh installation instead of altering the updated files... right?

I greatly appreciate threads like this where problems are discussed and hopefully resolved. It makes finding it via searches much easier!
I have the same issues that are being dicussed here.
I ran apt-get update && upgrade on my ASRock ION330HT running XBMC Live, but was no longer able to launch my XMBC Live install due to the opengl driver issues. I'd also appreciate it if someone posts the accepted solution for upgrading a XBMC Live install with the latest drivers. Could we get an answer on how to install the NVidia drivers, and anything else that needs configuring to get XBMC Live back up and running after an ubuntu upgrade?
Thanks all!
