Great news everyone: As fast as the XBMC creaters can push it, the Ubuntu people toss the latests builds into Kubuntu Karmic 9.10.
Currently we are up to XBMC 9.11 Alpha 2.
This news is a little bit late getting out, I this this update come into my repo’s a few days ago. Sorry for the delay.
This new Alpha 2 release sports mostly bug fixes and they state that Alpha 2 is generally ready for “consumption by the general public”. Since Alpha 1 they have ironed out the major bugs (as listed in the Alpha 1 press release) and an assortment of over 100 bug tickets! That’s rather amazing in such a short time.
Edit: Update: XBMC Beta 2 is now out in the Karmic PPA’s. You can read about it here.
There is also a wonderful Live! version available for testing. What is a Live version? It’s a version which you can boot up from a CD (or whatever else you can stick it on properly, generally it comes in a cd ISO) and test it out without ANY need to install it on your computer.
So, if you have the Karmic repositories correctly setup, all you have to do update and upgrade. Via command line it can be done by:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade
Happy movie watching
