The 32-bit image file does start on Kodi v14.0 RC1, but an update should bring you to the current stable build, v14.1. I'm not sure what to suggest, other than maybe making sure the Team Kodi PPA is still enabled:
Official Ubuntu PPA (wiki).

I screwed something and decided to re-install everything from scratch. I am on-line, but it is not offering to update the system, only the add-ons. Where can I go to tell it to update the OS itself? Last time I believe it just offered, but said it could not because it was an RC.
Thanks!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -V
-V tells you what version will be installed, and gives you a chance to back out.

You actually never said what iso you got exactly to begin with, or showed any logs of anything so its hard to tell whats going on especiially wen you "say" you been messing around with some how to for other bits.
If for instance you had some pre release Kodibuntu which the 32bit was, then the ppa by default is the unstable, which took you probably to a NEWER but still RC release like maybe 14.1Rc1 or 14.2 RC1 or something like that.
Thats what I think happened but I guess we never know and you reading this and disagree, but since thers was no evidence of anything this discussion is only what if, could have been discussion.

I used this one:
http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/kodibunt...x_i386.iso
Upon looking at the file I see that it states clearly in the name that it is an RC, I did not notice before. The 64-bit one to the left of it on the main download page is not an RC, so I was confused for a minute. Further confused because the first time I installed it, I swore it told me I had an RC so I could not update it, but low and behold, I could, so all is well!
You will find that has an unstable ppa added by default and will do what I said exactly which is normal behaiviour, which gives you a NEWER RC not an OLDER see
Official_Ubuntu_PPA (wiki)
I suggest you stick to that until
14.2 Final is released,
this way you are getting the very latest candidates bugfixes for the already outdated stable release... AND after
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/6689 is merged, two days after you go and change PPA from
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...u/unstable to
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and run upgrade again.
I also suggest you run the commands Nick said to confirm you actually got newer kodi RC which is fine and for the ppa changing, follow Ned link to
HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux (wiki) and follow instruction how to remove old ppa and add new ppa.
And then enjoy., Mystery solved I think?
