Enter this in the terminal or via ssh:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

and it will upgrade xbmc, which is all you need really.

I had to run

Code:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

when my xbmc was not being updated



if sound is borked see if alsa is working

type

Code:

alsamixer

make sure you don't have anything muted and it opens

might need to re-install your Nvidia and Asla possibly if your Kernel was upgraded seems to be a common problem with a kernel upgrade

Thanks, i tried this all but i seem to have been here before when i was trying to get my remote programmed after the update, ive just reformatted it and installed the beta

wget command wasnt found so i manually installed those files, but they dont look right for my revo unit.

everything was working except my remote properly, i dont know why i cant just be happy with it working.... always feel the need to update.

thanks

When you did the 'sudo apt-get upgrade' it must of upgraded to the latest linux kernel 2.6.24 41 or 42.

With Xbmcfreaks livecd the Nvidia drivers are a downloaded version, the same with alsa. I also changed my install to the ppa nvidia driver 256 and the iquik ppa for alsa. I would be good for xbmcfreak to change to ppa for nvidia and alsa, easier to upgrade later.
