12.1 upgrade FAQ? Is there any FAQ on going 12.0 --> 12.1?

12.0 to 12.1 shouldn't really have any functional difference. We can put in the existing 12 FAQ that going to 12.1 is just a matter of installing 12.1 on top of 12. Maybe a link to github for the changes/fixes, too.

Just do this
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc.bin
What you had is for a different kind of upgrade where you need to remove source A insert Source B and upgrade which is not needed in this case.

Ok, I have executed the steps you mentioned and it appeared to work just fine.
The only problem now is that my xbmcbuntu machine by default starts with the desktop instead of xbmc. Something gets changed during the apt-get upgrade command which causes xbmc to be removed as default startup mode.
Any idea how I can fix this? I don't want to add a startup shortcut to the desktop, I just want xbmc to startup as default, and not the desktop.

This is not the thread for Support, but Ill answer it just this once (second time), You need to logout and login as XBMC not xbmcbuntu, lightdm will remember your last login and autologin that. (I dont use xbmcbuntu anyway but this is what is explained in various forum threads)

This also happens during the sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc.bin also, I'm stumped. Any ideas?

interesting reply Ned , im not that clever.. unlike some here.

Not sure what you're getting at? I mean that there are no new features. The FAQ is more about what new features/changes there are for Frodo.

FYI
Make sure you mention that you do NOT install rPI xbmc (raspbmc) this way.
raspbmx is not a pkg and if you do that, you can cause a world of hurt

I am having difficulty upgrading to 12.1. Right now I am using 11.0. Tried entering the below commands in Putty, but I am getting stuck with interpretting certain lines in bold. When they say "whatever ppa you have now", how do I know what PPA I have currently? Any help appreciated. THanks!
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
[b]sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:whatever-ppa-you-have-now
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:whatever-ppa-here[/b]
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc.bin

You know what ppa you have by looking at /etc/apt/sources.d/ or something like that or by knowing how you installed XBMC to begin with.
That wiki entry is simply telling you you need to remove one ppa containing xbmc and enter another so you dont have two ppa sources offering versions of xbmc and potentially break something.
This should take care of it.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get remove xbmc xbmc.bin
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc.bin
However because your upgrading from V11 you likely run into troubles so see
XBMC_v12_(Frodo)_FAQ#What_might_break_when_upgrading_to_v12.3F_.28add-ons.2C_skins.2C_remotes.2C_etc.29 (wiki)
If I were you I would backup
userdata (wiki) and rename guisettings.xml before upgrading and remove the addons you had previously too. Only thing you want to bring in is your Databases from inside
userdata (wiki)
That is more likely to give you less issues, then again you may have none.
