from googling it looks like xbmcbuntu-12.2 is ubuntu 13.04 based, you need a 13.10 based system.

Just wanted to say a quick thank you! Took the plunge moving across to a full open source software stack on my media PC today, and this guide worked great. I had some trouble with the the minimal saucy ISOs refusing to detect any of my USB keyboards - but grabbing a raring one and upgrading with do-release-upgrade on the command line after the install worked fine.
Having the HDMI audio is awesome, and my idle CPU usage dropped from around ~25% to ~6%, which should save me a nice chunk of juice!
Big thanks to both the devs and those sharing their expertise!

Just a question:
Why does xbmc play a dvd encoded with mpeg2
- WITHOUT vdpau acceleration when i play the disc directly or play the copied VIDEO_TS folder (using ff-mpeg2video ccodec) and
- WITH vdpau (using ff-mpeg2video-vdpau codec) if i play the .VOB file directly (VTS_01_1.VOB)?

from what i searched a little while back it's due to using overlays with the DVD menus which doesn't work with hardware decoding, so software decode only with DVD.

na! that's something else. And don't post "me too" ... That's a bug tracker.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
