same problem here. unfortunately i've done a restart afterwards, now it's not even booting up again

I have the same problem here, including the failure to boot. The boot problem is since the new package (xbian-package-firmware_2.0.0) seems to append .xbian to a number of files in /boot, including bootcode.bin. I managed to get my system booting again with the following steps:

1. put the sd card in another machine and mount the boot partition
2. rename bootcode.bin.xbian to bootcode.bin, fixup.dat.xbian to fixup.dat, and start.elf.xbian to start.elf
3. unmount the sd card and put it back into your RPi

Since the partition is FAT, I guess you can do this on either Windows or Linux (I used the latter).

Edit: I checked the package source and I believe that the .xbian files are meant as temporary backups while the new files are written. Since the installation fails in the middle, the new files are never written. Unfortunately, the backup files are not rolled back either, thus leaving the system in this unbootable state.

This needs to be addresed ASAP @CurlyMo

Is already fixed, latest firmware works.

Great news.

thanks a lot, m8! it works this way, did it on a windows machine like you said

v1 & v2 Pi update fine this am.... No more working add-ons.. Navi-X is a no go at this time...

Genesis is a %1000 better than Navi-X, have you tried it?

Genesis, will have a look when i am home. Yes Genesis is nice, TY EDIT 2.17 got Navi-X installed on v1 @ v2 Pi's XBian full updates, new Kernal today, Kodi 14.1 WOW!!! I have been running XBian since 9.*.2012 v6 !! Time sure does change everything. Great job to all here!!

After the kodi update I still have the following errors in log:

I found issue 650 on github but no solution yet.
Can I manually fix/change source? Which is the new repo address?

last update broke xbmc if PULSAR is installed.
i updated all packages (there was a bunch).
xbian-config wont update.

but i updated the rest thru apt-get
after the update the xbmc boot but stuck because of pulsar.
once i removed pulsar from addons folder it worked fine.
tried to install pulsar again and stuck.

couldn't get a verbose log because xbmc get's stuck.

did btrfs rollback for now.

i'm on cubox-i4 stable.

That has to be a pulsar issue, you will want to contact the author of the plugin for assistance. If all is well with XBian without the plugin.

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade xbian-package-config-xbmc from version 1.2.0-1 to 20150207-1, but I keep on getting the following error


What should I do?
I've even tried to download the package and install it manually, but it didn't work!

Best regards

OK, maybe nobody is answering, because I didn't share the details of my installation.
So, I have a Raspi B (512mb), I use the stable repo.
What else you need to know?

Since i just seem to idle along here, i sent a PM to member. I was having an "update" issue a few weeks back. Was directed to look at the "FAQ" at that time. I could have sworn i had done the repository update. But that was my update errors. I hope the problems are gone and your XBian is up to date and running like the BEAST it is =)

I've just upgraded the latest image without any issues. So hopefully, a lot of issues should now be fixed,.
