Hi.

I know this might be a newbie question, but is there any way to update from the live cd 10.0 I installed on my Hard disk to 10.1 without reinstalling everything ?

Did drivers and other stuff changed on the cd too ?

Wait for a few days for the packages to get set up. I've heard that it's not available yet. When it is available, you will hit ctrl-alt-F2, login as xbmc then type

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Then hit 'y' and enter.

I'll just wait...

I thought you did not want to use apt-get upgrade... as this can break other pieces of XBMC Live. I thought you should only do the "update". I may be wrong.

The post on the homepage mentions:

Updating

Windows and OSX users should download and install as usual, all user data will be kept intact.

Ubuntu and XBMC Live users can use ‘apt-get update && apt-get install xbmc’ to update.

I had to add sudo to run it. Worked fine here.

I tried it and it works.

Haven't had the time to check much though...

Hi!

For me this doesn't work. I have XBMCLive 10 installed on HDD on my ION 330 HT and when trying to update using "sudo apt-get update && apt-get install xbmc" I got the error:
"Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?"

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Sasa

Type the commands separately:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc

You should enter the password when prompted of course

@Moofo:

Ubuntu and XBMC Live users can use ‘apt-get update && apt-get install xbmc’ to update.

Yes of course, I do enter the password. But still it puzzles me why it is denying the credentials :confused2:

Now I got it:

n00bs (like me) using live need to write “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xbmc” to get the update :-)

The second sudo was missing in my statement.
