you need to install ppa-purge.

Google it, its in a ppa.

After installing it, you can purge everything installed by the xbmc-svn ppa, then reinstall.

But... I don't know if xbmc is causing your problems, as that build has been excellent for me

Thanks, got ppa-purge installed but not sure how to purge the xbmc-svn so i can install the latest version.

tried sudo ppa-purge team-xbmc-svn

which seemed to start downgrading the XBMClive to 9.11 then it came up with an error.

Then trying sudo apt-get install xbmc resulted in it saying it was at the latest version. ARGHHHHHHHHHHH.

So how did anyonne upgrade the latest XBMCFreak XBMC to the latest SVN version ?

you should have done

Code:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

you should have done

Code:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks will try this when i restore the image. Will

sudo apt-get upgrade

Upgrade all the packages as this caused me no sound on the revo and a much higher CPU in lucid.

So broken again, back to backup. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH lol.

On Karmic this was very simple and worked well, on Lucid i have no idea what is going on.

So again i those that have XBMCFreaks 10.08 CD, how did you upgrade to latest XBMC svn ?

[harryzimm]

After you get the error try:

sudo apt-get install -f

sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-live

sudo reboot

Going to revert to a backup from a few days previous but now confused what to run to upgrade.

If i run a full system upgrade on my revo r3610 i loose sound in xbmc and xbmc doesn't upgrade.

[Flomaster]

Danz0l

1) ps -ef | grep dpkg
2) kill anything that says dpkg except for the grep line
4) dpkg --configure -a
5) apt-get update (run this twice)
6) apt-get upgrade / or dist-upgrade if packages are 'held back'
that should be it

I don't know why but XBMC won't upgrade yet i never had an issue in Karmic.

what does
apt-cache policy xbmc

tell you

I'm just running through step 6 but its only upgrading the same packages again (which will give me sound issues in XBMC, it says failed to init sound device).

what does
apt-cache policy xbmc

tell you

-=Jason=-

I will run after upgrade finished but from last time it said

Code:

apt-cache policy xbmc
xbmc:
  Installed: 2:10.0~svn32696~deb1-1~0lucid2
  Candidate: 2:10.0~svn32696~deb1-1~0lucid2
  Version table:
*** 2:10.0~svn32696~deb1-1~0lucid2 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:10.08~svn33122-lucid1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
     1:9.11-lucid3 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages

Yes just reran that line and got the same output.

And now i've no sound in XBMC, says failed to init sound device and XBMC is running like a bag of spanners on the main menu (possibly sound related ?).

[leadfingers]

Just because the SVN was updated doesn't mean all the builds loaded successfully. I got bit by this one in the early hours this morning.

I uninstalled r33122, removed the ppa, updated the source list, added the svn ppa, updated the source list.... and r33122 was listed as the latest build available. I thought I'd done something wrong, the ppa page listed a newer build. Couldn't figure where I'd messed up till I ticked "View Package Details" on the svn ppa page and discovered the build I needed hadn't loaded properly, so it wasn't available... and still isn't on this revo (r33221).

If you're trying to update from the main svn perhaps it wasn't your technique but just that the build you need wasn't available.
