how does one update to the latest build on xbmclive - from what I can tell they don't do nightly builds for linux - am I out of luck? I am also having the same issue.

you'll have to update from the launchpad site i think, something like:

add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list

Code:

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

register the key for the added ppa:

Code:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 64234534

then:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

and at last:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbmc

or

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbmc-live

don't remember witch of those are right

be aware tho that you might get an unstable version of xbmclive onto your box.
