I'm just curious, xbmc Alpha 2 is out and I'm trying to upgrade from Alpha 1 to Alpha 2 in Ubuntu 9.11. I'm not getting any update or upgrade by typing the commands in terminal! Is there something I'm doing wrong?

did you enter this: ?

Quote:apt-get update
before this:

apt-get upgrade

Yep! Thats the command!

I've tried doing a apt-get -f install to force it to install, but it still errors out. All other packages installed fine for alpha 2. any ideas?

it's not possible, in the live version, to update with apt-get (or aptitude)

Here the response that tobias give to me

since when? I've been doing apt-get update && apt-get upgrade since 9.04.1 live iso was released, updating to all the nightly PPA's produced for the last...I dunno...5 months? I've never had an issue. I've got it installed to my hard drive, not booting off a USB/CD. I just used the live cd to install, and have never had a problem updating.

I got these when reinstalling alpha1, I just touched both files (xbmc.conf and xbmc-live.conf) and reran apt-get. it completed ok then

I was thinking of doing that when i got home from work today, since it looks like it's a simple file-not-existing problem. strange thing was, that when i first ran it, it said it couldn't find the file, and asked me if i wanted to install the one that came with the package, which i agreed to...looks like the script still wanted to find an old one, which didn't exist.

edit: I just remoted in from work and tried this, and fyi to anyone else that tries this, I had to "sudo touch /etc/init/xbmc-live-install.conf" as well, because when doing just the first line, I got a second error. After re-touching both files, it finished installing successfully.

this is from my /etc/apt/sources.list :

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

Never tried updating before, did the apt-get update/upgrade and got the above msg.
System info in XBMC tells me i'm running Alpha 1 (compiled 5/11).

Running on Karmic..

Cheers

after doing `sudo apt-get update` just do a `sudo apt-get install xbmc` and it should upgrade you just fine

I must be forgetting something, still not updating..

Did update/upgrade/install and nothing happens..

That did the trick, thanks !

those are to install the releases from xbmc

the other ones were for the svn releases

i think if you have the xbmc main builds (inc alpha) it does not update to svn, you need to do an svn install first.

not tried yet though.
