I run mediastream redux skin and I need a newer xbmc build to run it properly. However I also understand I shouldnt understand the latest build as that one is broken now. Build 22528 is recommended as it was the most recent build before it broke (as I understand it)

I installed ubuntu minimal and xbmc (may build) using this script:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=55282

The guide has some pointers on upgrading by uncommenting these lines in the script:
#deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
#deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

and then running:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc

But will that get me exactly that build 22528 or should I do something else to do that?

I found this link: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=412...tcount=525
But I am as very new to Linux/xbmc and afraid to run it.

hi, i'm also a fellow noob and i can tell you that the last link worked beautifully for me so go on and give it a go. of course after the update,upgrade and install

of course after the update,upgrade and install

Do you mean that after I do

Code:

I should do this?

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc

[vikjon0]

I should do this?
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc

I dont think so.

It should also be possible to do this:

sudo apt-get install xbmc=[svnVERSION]

But I have not tried it yet.

[kees667]

Would I then try it like this?:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc=[svnVERSION]

I dont think so.

It should also be possible to do this:

anyone please?

in that order and it worked fine for me

[kees667]

Thanks I'll try tomorrow. Can I just exit XBMC with ctrl-alt-f2 and do this or must I "close" xbmc first somehow?

[PrimaryMaster]

iam going to test this now....

i think you can

ctrl-alt-f2
pkill xbmc
pkill xorg

and then do this...

[PrimaryMaster]

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc

in that order and it worked fine for me

I did that... did not work for me..
after i reboot i get to the terminal...

what did you have before you did this?
i started with "May 25 2009 (SVN:20654) / Ubuntu Live (9.04.1)"

[kees667]

weird. after sudo apt-get upgrade I get a ot of:

E:unmet dependencies try using -f

[kees667]

I have now ended up with a build compiled in October. Runs fine except for video_ts.ifo files. Guess i am not at 22528 but a slightly newer build.

[PrimaryMaster]

how did you do?

[kees667]

There was a force option somewhere. System is pretty much crap now so looking for a way to downgrade.

Does anyone know of a fool-proof way to downgrade to a specific ppa build?

[kees667]

Finally managed it. I needed to force some stuff. I posted details here:
