When upgrading to 3.13 stable, make sure you remove the old kernels:

Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-headers-3.13.0-031300rc8-generic linux-image-3.13.0-031300rc8-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-031300rc8

rc8 just as example, same for rc7, rc6, ... they would have priority cause of the longer name.

Thanks, upgraded 1.13 final and removed rc6 Smile

Hi, just looking over the original post on 1st page..... As for the Linux I need.
Is the 'xbmc 2.13 Saucy' ?
+ 3.13 kernel...

Is there any other required updates?
Cheers.

**fritsch** · 2014-01-20, 23:24

Yes. Did you miss the mesa ppa? It also provide libva1 and corresponding vaapi drivers.

... Found it...

**fritsch** · 2014-01-21, 09:41

It will also run with default Saucy libva / kernel. But you miss two important fixes:

- default saturation and brightnes levels were wrong (was fixed after 1.2.2 vaapi)
- No 4K decoding support. That was added with 1.2.1
- Kernel could not do Limited Color Range without issues (was fixed with 3.13)

ok go these 2 so far
xbmc_13.0~git20140121.0500-790d20d-0saucy_all.deb
mesa_10.1~git201312221312.38322~ubuntu13.10.1.tar

I coudnt find the `saucy mini iso` like the 1st post, all i could find is the full desktop Ubuntu 13.10

Follow the howto. There is no single need to download any .tar files. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Instal.../MinimalCD <- 64 bit

what about pvr add ons?

After doing all in the first-thread,
an apt-get install xbmc-pvr-addons returns unable to locate packages...

yes I tried also this but strangely returns the same thing...

sudo apt-get update;
sudo apt-get install xbmc-pvr-tvheadend:

this is the result of apt-get update... -_-

**fritsch** · 2014-01-21, 22:41

That's a network problem. Fix your sources.list and networking -> that's a general ubuntu problem and not related to this howto, btw.

DJ-1 · 2014-01-23, 09:37

OK... Had brief chance to look at it last night.... Went through the howto etc.. But I did skip 1 step... With the xbmc upstart I have to create a .Conf file in etc/init/xbmc.conf

Not sure how exactly I create the file in text mode. (as this has no desktop enviroment)..

Cheers.
Ps: sorry for being a bit inexperienced with Linux..

I think openelec is the better choice for you. It's easy and ready to use and won't cause you headaches. The nightlies have the very same features as this version here.

If you need more assistance join #xbmc-xvba on freenode and kindly ask if someone has time to help.

In general you can use nano to create files, e.g.

Code:
sudo nano /etc/init/xbmc.conf

Save the file with ctl o and ctl x

Don't use sudo for the last commands the howto wants:

Code:
mkdir -p ~/.xbmc

mkdir -p ~/.xbmc/userdata

nano ~/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

You can copy and paste text into the terminal via ssh. On windows use ctl c to copy the text and then just "rightlick" into the putty window to insert.

If that's not enough guidance, please consider OpenELEC.

Edit: Take care of the warnings in the howto and check the lines, don't introduce chars don't introduce new linebreaks.

DJ-1 · 2014-01-23, 09:52

OK cheers... I managed to sort out a lot of it anyhow... I've used openelec before....
What the eventual plan was is to get this set up and dual boot openelec (stable) & this I can swith back n forth if needs be then...

Cheers.
