So I logged in to my HTPC running Ubuntu 12.10, and it said I need to reboot. Ok sure, updates pending or whatever. I come back and I am in 13 pre-alpha. I'm trying to figure out A) how I got here, and B) how to get back to 12. I used a script prepare_install_2_6_1.sh that I got here to do the original install. Thank you for any help.

Where exactly did you get that script? I'm not familiar with it. I've never used anything like that to install XBMC.
He got that script here

It installs xvba ppa which is nightly ppa (its documented that its doesnt install Final) and needs to remove that ppa and use the xvba-frodo ppa to stick to Frodo though...
Its also in that thread how to remove v13 and install v12 in about 2 or 3 different replies IIRC.
So to go to v12.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-frodo
sudo apt-get remove xbmc xbmc-bin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin
So both answers to questions right there.
Please close and mark as solved.

Using the ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-frodo how often are updates likely to be released?
I've looked here:
https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba-frodo but not sure what I am really looking at, I guess what I am looking for is a change log of updates / bug fixes that might be available.
Presumably to update you just run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
But I'd like to know what I am updating to.
Thanks
Only if they decide to push 12.1 Otherwise no more updates, if you want updates and fixes you need to go back to xvba
If you do that you end up with V12 Frodo+xvba
Presumely for update is what I said.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I would obviously like updates and bug fixes but I don't want to be on the cutting edge with betas and potentially unstable versions.
I am just thinking about this now as there appears to be a
bug with .WMA music files and would like the fix for that if and when it comes out?
Thanks again
You want regular updates to xbmc > xvba (This gives you v13 and up)
You want Stick to Frodo and possibly only 1 more update > xvba-Frodo ( V12 and v12.1 < Not yet released Frodo Bugfix release.)
