Can anyone explain how I would go about updating my current XBMCBuntu to the Kodi Beta, I have read through the wiki how to but I only see where it explains how to upgrade XBMC via sudo apt-get update, and then sudo apt-get install xbmc, but this doesnt upgrade me to kodi I am assuming this is used to upgrade to the next stable release. Is there a link to a how to on upgrading to kodi? or did I simply miss it in the Wiki? Thanks for the help.

You probably need to do "sudo apt-get install kodi", but still with the XBMC unstable PPA. It's kind of a confusing mix and match of names right now as we transition.

I'm in a similar boat, I've upgraded to the latest unstable.
I'm seeing both binaries (/usr/bin/xbmc & /usr/bin/kodi) xbmc-bin has been removed. Upon restarting lightdm I'm just seeing the (KDE?) login screen.
I'm assuming there's a config I've gotta change somewhere to use the new binary, I'm just unsure where it is!
Thanks folks!
EDIT: Fixed, after posting this I thought that it was an issue with the lightdm config - alas it was.
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf just needed the user-session changing from XBMC to kodi.
