Hello... I'm trying to upgrade to the latest version of frodo 12.3. When I do the update via the terminal, it tells me the latest version is already installed; however, in system info, instead of reflecting the 12/25 update date, my compiled date reads: "XBMC 12.3 Git:9ed3e58 (Compiled: Dec 13 2013)". The system sometimes freezes right after setup so I was hoping the update would help with stability...thanks for any help!

Code:
apt-cache policy xbmc

?

Hi, i think i had a similar problem, Check if you have the repository added from XBMC, for my system it was not the case.

After adding the repo, the upgrade brought up something new.

**negge** · 2014-01-27, 00:09

You already have the newest Frodo version as far as I can tell.

nickr · 2014-01-27, 01:09

Wasn't 12.3 released on Xmas Day, his build is 13 December.

nickr · 2014-01-27, 01:37

Actually the last commit to frodo was 12 December, so it probably is the final code, although the git strings don't seem to match:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commits/Frodo

Last commit is 9ed3e580ea7c000541273cbac116ec9e314124ca

**Prof Yaffle** · 2014-01-27, 01:43

9ed3e58 is 12.3 release.

nickr · 2014-01-27, 02:33

Thats what I thought I was saying, but that string doesn't seem to appear in the package name:

Installed: 2:12.3~git20131213.0944-frodo-0saucy

**Prof Yaffle** · 2014-01-27, 10:48

The string in the first post confirms the correct version is installed:

XBMC 12.3 Git:9ed3e58 (Compiled: Dec 13 2013)

and the apt-cache policy results tally with the package information:

Code:
xbmc-bin_12.3~git20131213.0944-frodo-0precise_amd64.deb      24-Dec-2013 21:32     12M

xbmc-bin_12.3~git20131213.0944-frodo-0precise_i386.deb      24-Dec-2013 21:32     12M

xbmc-bin_12.3~git20131213.0944-frodo-0quantal_amd64.deb    24-Dec-2013 21:31     12M

xbmc-bin_12.3~git20131213.0944-frodo-0saucy_amd64.deb    24-Dec-2013 21:31     12M

xbmc-bin_12.3~git20131213.0944-frodo-0saucy_i386.deb      24-Dec-2013 21:31     12M

So all is good by my fingers.

Sooooo.... if there's a problem on startup, it isn't going to be fixed by another Frodo version. It's debug log or upgrade to Gotham time.

ArtVandalay7 · 2014-01-29, 01:52

that's what I was confused about...thought 12/25 was the release date even though my version does say 12.3... does xbmc update itself with linux b/c it was displaying the 12.3 release before I did so via the terminal
