Long story short I screwed up the upgrade and now XBMC Live boots to the login prompt. All I'm concerned about now is getting back to a working XBMC Live install. I don't want to have to reinstall via the USB drive again. Is their a way to update to 9.04 through ssh? I'm pretty new to linux so any help is appreciated.

thanks guys

ok, i fixed it and am now able to boot to xbmc fine. however, when i ssh and try "sudo reboot now" i get the following error

(T: XBMCLive)xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ sudo reboot now

sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 37

I haven't played around with it much more yet to see if their are any other problems, but does anyone know how to fix this?

The same happened to me.
I was doing 9.11_a1 -> a2 upgrade using "apt-get".
There was command line instead of xbmc and /etc/sudoers file broken. I could not even reboot.

I reinstalled everything using a2 live.

/etc/sudoers

The following is duplicated a few times and that is what gives the error

Code:
#

# XBMC-specific configuration

#

Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN_CMDS = /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/halt

Cmnd_Alias MOUNT_CMDS = /bin/mount, /bin/umount

xbmc ALL=(ALL) ALL

xbmc ALL=NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN_CMDS, MOUNT_CMDS

I posted the workarounds/fixes as well as a bug report for this at http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7706#comment:2
