@wsnipex, can I remove the first iteration of this beta build from the mirrors or do you want to keep it around?

You can use do-release-upgrade to upgrade to pre-releases, from memory the argument is -d

Doing an upgrade is probably going to have to go through the intermediate releases. Upgrades generally only go release-->release or LTS-->LTS.

You will likely experience breakage if you have to go through too many upgrades to get to thar. I would reinstall from scratch (backing up what you want to keep).

Ah yeah, I forgot about the upgrade path... 3 distro upgrades + a beta distro would probably set my pc on fire Smile Might give it a try though and report back, I dont really have anything to lose on that partition.

my advise: don't, just reinstall

@kib: yes, you can remove the old iso

No deal on upgrding - v12 doesnt come with update-manager and none of the default quantal repos are reachable. After manually installing update-manager-core, do-release-upgrade fails because it is unable to refreshe quantal's repos.

Just in the interest of completeness. According to my research it seems like VNC with the later versions of gnome and unity will not work as they require 3D accelaration (even the supposed 2D ones)

Cheers and thanks for this awesome build!

RE: vnc -- Acceleration is one of driver related stuff, not gnome/unity related - and most certainly not xbmc related see https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=vn...8&oe=utf-8

@wsnipex With final beta of tahr being released, will you be making a new image?

no, only when we change something xbmcbuntu related. just do normal upgrade procedure:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Cool.. with all my vnc and desktop manager experimentation I want to do a clean install so just wanted to make sure there's not a new iso coming out soon.

Cheers!

Busy setting up the mysql shared database stuff. Am I right in saying that with this iso there is no XBMC user and xbmc runs as the user that you type in during the initial setup wizard?

Edit: Nevermind.. forgot the mysql user can be different from the linux user

How do I get to desktop in this version of Xbmcbuntu?
I installed it with username livingroom, however reading other threads they suggest I login as Xbmcbuntu or xbmc with blank password - can't seem to login using those credentials

1. Post:

To switch to the desktop on the _live-session_(when you ran "Try XBMCbuntu"):
1) enter xbmc for username
2) click the wrench icon top right, choose xbmcbuntu
3) click login

Before I install on my Asrock ION 3D
I always do an install on my older 330 HT

Today I installed Xbmcbuntu 13 but I have problems playing hd video.

I Have a problem playing any HD video.
Basic video works and audo works as wel.

When I try to play a HD video file, the video plays real slow, jumping from frame to frame and no audo is played.

I'm using a Asrock 330HT
CPU: Intel® Atom™ CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz
GPU: NVIDIA ION (I think the 1st one)

dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7186455/
xbmc.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7186531/
Xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7186532/
vdpauinfo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7186534/
dpkg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7186536/

If I need to provide more info please let me know
