I updated the howto to Ubuntu Trusty. With default kernel and mostly default Ubuntu packages.
Remember: This will still crash when you press stop - I talked with mlankhorst yesterday and I am looking forward, that the fix (which already exists) will be integrated into Ubuntu within the next few days.
Main reason for this step was, that I want to make sure "xbmcbuntu" gets tested correctly and as xbmcbuntu has the same base Ubuntu 14.04 that's a good idea to do so.
Changes for upgraders:
- See the new X xserver command in the upstart script which disables Backingstore (tearing) by default
- Custom kernel, custom mesa has been dropped, use ppa-purge to uninstall those repositories before upgrading
- The vdpau drivers are not in the libg3dvl2-mesa package anymore (remove it manually) and install the mesa-vdpau-drivers package
Edit: Make really sure you purge the ppas! ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/mesa and ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/test (if you have the latter)
