You can simply delete the files that have xbmc ppas or comment out the offending lines.
Linux noob here, I still can't work out how to browse Ubuntu to find files, I struggled to find a terminal to enter the commands as it is :S
Care to explain how to get to the ppa file?
Hi...
Exit XBMC and login to XBMCbuntu (same username and password you have given at the installation). Then a new desktop environment should come up. On this screen you have at the bottom left a similar button from the windows start-button. Press it and search for "terminal" or "x-terminal"
Open the terminal and enter:
Code:
ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
in this folder you may have some subfolders and maybe your existing ppa listed in there (as a subfolder). If you found a ppa listed in there, then use the following commands in a terminal.
Code:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:the ppa you found in "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/"
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc.bin
The command "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa" adds the repository for the latest stable XBMC version (Frodo 12.3). If you wanna test the Gotham beta1 then you have to change the third line in:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
When you´re ready with everything, you have to quit XBMCbuntu and login to XBMC (also same username and password, that was given at the installation). If you don´t do this, you will always login to XBMCbuntu and not to XBMC. XBMCbuntu remembers on which environment you were last and always boot to this.
Hope this helps
Cheers
