Thank you kindly for those instructions, I had to go to sleep last night and have only just got back to it now, years of updates takes a long time, who knew

I've had to run apt-get dist-upgrade as the xbian packages were being kept back, but now I have a different issue. It can't proceed into the upgrade because of a problem with plymouth:

update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
insserv: Service udev has to be enabled to start service plymouth
insserv: exiting now!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing package plymouth (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
plymouth
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).

I can't seem to get past this error, should I maybe remove it? Thanks for your help again.

Nevermind, I thought a reboot might solve it, but I think I've just broken it entirely. It just sticks at the loading screen, and I can no longer ssh onto it.

I did take a backup using the xbian backup tool but I guess if I can't even ssh onto it there's not much I can do?
