Jan-Erik,
Thanks for the information, but I knew it wouldn't be this easy. I did a do-release-upgrade (but not to the devel....to the lts one), and I blew up my box. It updated OK, but I got the dreaded opengl error. I believe this is because the nvidia driver is not loading in x11 and it's the nouveau one. When I try to install nvidia-current (remove, purge, install), I get a bunch of error messages and it fails to load the nvidia driver.
I try to install the nvidia one from their web site (the .run file), and it fails to install because of the nouveau one.
I should have known better. Oh well, I really don't want to, but I might try to go to the LTS and just rebuild from scratch than use the xbmcbuntu one. It's a shame because Dharma worked wonders....i mean, it's like I didn't have one single problem with it. I figured Eden would be a step up and everything would continue to work, but I was wrong.
Hopefully the clean install and the PPA's will be good.
