[SOLVED] Cannot upgrade xbmc

[min]

I'm trying to upgrade to the latest xbmc however because I'm using the alsa package I cannot.

I have updated sources according to the faq and tried enabling staging just to see if that helped, so far nothing. Currently xbmc is not working at all.

Terminal output is this:

root@xbian:/home/xbian# apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'xbian-package-xbmc-alsa' instead of 'xbian-package-xbmc'
xbian-package-xbmc-alsa is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
root@xbian:/home/xbian#




Solved-see last post.

Have you tried upgrading via the ssh xbian-config?

[min]

Yes, sorry-I should have said I've tried that too!

It would then seem that the alsa package hasn't been updated yet.

I'd suggest going back to an earlier snapshot to get XBMC back and then wait for a developer to reply on future development releases for that package.

I have replied to this question in the other thread.

I only upgraded one pi to kodi for now, but the other one (still on Gotham) is showing no upgrades like yours, so it's nothing wrong with your pi/set up, there's just nothing new for it at the moment as it says it's at the latest package.

Can you manually start xbmc with 'sudo xbmc start'? (either on screen or vias ssh).

Ok I'll stick to my own thread!

The service doesn't start, and ssh command freezes until I use ctrl-c to cancel it. Xbmc runs for a few minutes and then crashes out after a reboot.

Solved by adding 'rpi-wheezy' into all lines of sources.list!
