Hi
I've done a lot of searching and I'm getting confused between updating XBMC for ubuntu and updating XBMCubuntu. I think I need to add a nightly build repositorie and then do the apt-get update apt-get upgrade.
I've added ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa but XBMC doesnt seem to update, What is the correct repositorie? Do I need to build it myself? What am I missing?
I would love to try the new HD audio with XBMCubuntu.
Thanks

I can't really say. I only tried the repo on full Ubuntu systems where I had XBMC installed. I didn't try it on my HTPC with XBMCBuntu installed. If you're usingXBMCBuntu, you should be able to log into the window manager to a desktop. You can then look at the crashlog to see why XBMC is failing. My guess is that it's an pulse audio failure. If you want to reinstall, copy the /home/xbmc folder and all of its subdirectories. Perform a new install and then copy it back. All of your XBMC settings and addons should be there. If you made changes to other files e.g. /etc/fstab or /etc/network/interfaces, you'll need to copy them over too. Also, if you have any custom compiled drivers or software, that will need to be redone.
