I've searched and searched, and unfortunately didn't find anything on how to install the latest Nvidia 190.42 drivers through XBMC Live terminal.

Bascially, I've fudged my way through getting Live 9.04 updated to 9.11 alpha 2 (I tried to get alpha2 installed right from the iso but I was having nothing but problems like a few others).

I'd like to update to the 190.42 drivers but not sure how to go about this through XBMC terminal (I've found tutorials for Ubuntu).

Any help is much appreciated for this noob!

What issues have you had? I'm running it on my zotac ion a-u, and 0 issues.

I did the following to update the latest NVIDIA drivers:

Code:
sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list

copy-paste the following to the end of the list

Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Ctrl + X, Y, Enter to save changes

Code:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 71609D4D2F1518FA9C5DC0FB1DABDBB4CEC06767

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic nvidia-glx-190

sudo reboot

sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)

sudo reboot
