Hello everyone,
I have done it again, i upgraded with the usual

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

got some dependancies missing so I
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get dist upgrade (or something similar)

now xbmc won't start, and everything seems to be broken.
Is there anyway to fix this?

Cheers for any help you can give me!

[outleradam]

reinstall video drivers for your system. look online for instructions. That's happened to me a few times.

[grumpygamer]

could you kindly point me to the correct thread? I have tried search, but maybe not with the correct keywords...
Anyway xbmc seems to work if I log in and launch xinit xbmc, I wonder why

Hello everyone,
I have done it again,
Is there anyway to fix this?

Yes, Stop doing it!

If this is an HTPC just get it working and quit trying to break it.

There is no need to apt-get upgrade. Let it be and watch your movie!

At the very least, download clonezilla and make a backup. Once you have it right, then you can tinker all you want.

[grumpygamer]

Agreed.
I don't know why I have this ALWAYS-UPDATE-TO-THE-LAST-VERSION urge...
Anyway that wasn't very constructive as a comment.
Anyone else?

[elupus]

as always debug log... and consol output if no debug log is generated..

[grumpygamer]

ok let me figure out how to get a debug log and will be right back

If you are on Karmic

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic nvidia-glx-190

sudo nvidia-xconfig -s --no-logo --force-generate

btw, this is not exactly impossible to find on the google.

[grumpygamer]

I am on jaunty, and I did search on google...
anyway thanks for your tip

[liq456]

Try this.

sudo apt-get remove xbmc-live

sudo nvidia-installer --update -a -s -f

sudo apt-get install xbmc-live

sudo reboot

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Broken packages


not working yet, any other ideas?

[liq456]

Add the repositories -- first open a nano editor for the third party sources list:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list

Then copy and paste the following respository entries:

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

Import the key:

Code:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 64234534

Update your repository list

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Then do the recommended upgrades:

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

Now install the latest XBMC:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbmc

And reboot your system:

Code:

sudo reboot

Let me know what happens

[vikjon0]

Looks like stop doing it was the best advice in this thread.

Is there other entries in xbmc.org.list? If so back it up and remove other entries and only have these ones.

Code:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list

Code:
