I have Dharma XBMC Live installed on the HDD of my Acer Revo 3700
I wanted to upgrade to Eden3, and was hoping to do this using putty or winSCP. If i've downloaded the Eden3 Live ISO is there a way of running the upgrade this way?
cheers Wozza, about to give the nightly builds approach a whirl
Oh darn, I think I have killed my machine.
After following the instructions in the nightly builds link above (updating to latest python software properties and adding official unstable builds repo) When I run sudo apt-get update at the end of the list of items I get this:
Quote:Err http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages
404 Not Found
Fetched 199B in 10s (19B/s)
W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/jaso-scheuneman...ackages.gz 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
When I then try install xbmc I am told I have the latest version already, which I do not! Running cat /etc/*-release give me:
Quote:DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS - XBMCLive Dharma"
So very clearly not the latest version.
Any advice on what may be going wrong much appreciated. Do I need to remove the stable builds repo first?

Fairly sure that's just saying what version of ubuntu you have, it's just got the xbmc darma string in it. Point is when you update xbmc to latest you don't update ubuntu so that would still say that regardless...
...I think....
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc
If after reboot it hangs at log in:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/init/xbmc.conf
Code:
# xbmc-standalone
description "Autostart XBMC"
start on (filesystem and stopped udevtrigger)
stop on runlevel [06]
task
console output
emits starting-x
exec /bin/su xbmc -c "/usr/bin/startx /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xbmc-standalone"
Done.
Works every time
Thanks for your assistance guys. I think I may have some weirdness in my intial setup which is meaning this isn't working as straight forward for me.
I am now booting to a black screen. No blinking cursor, nothing.
My xbmc is set up with the name 'steve' instead of 'xbmc' (regret doing that now as always have to rename code!). So on that last line I used
Quote: exec /bin/su steve -c "/usr/bin/startx /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xbmc-standalone"
Is that right?
Also when I run the below in Putty
Quote:sudo startx
I am taken to the ubuntu desktop and end up having to launch xbmc from in there. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise I'm thinking I may just have to rebuild (which I really don't want to!)
Is there some sort of log I can run which I can post here for advice on what I may have wrong in my build?
