How do I update to Frodo Beta 3?

[Gaffeltrucken]

Hi
For some reason my XBMC won't update. I choose the "Keep Raspbmc updated" option, and I have rebooted my RPI several times without any result. Am I missing something?

Are you certain that you aren't on it? Check the sticky on how to find out.

Hi,
I've got the same problem.
Ever since I fresh installed the 21-nov RC5 version, it's not updating.

I notice that the /scripts/upd_sys/* files are all 0 bytes (except for the FirstTimRun (ftr.sh) file. Even kver, svcver and xbmcver are 0).
So I think there's simply nothing to initiate the update.

I think it will need a fresh install. (the 10th or so since June, but that's the risk when you experiment)

Try runs this:
sudo initctl start update-checker

If you get this:
update-checker stop/waiting


The your getfile.sh is empty. Try this (s7mx1 code) to get it fixed:

Code:

sudo mv /scripts/upd_sys/ftr.sh /tmp/
sudo rm /scripts/upd_sys/*.sh
sudo mv /tmp/ftr.sh /scripts/upd_sys/
sudo wget http://svn.stmlabs.com/svn/raspbmc/testing/update-system/getfile.sh -O /scripts/upd_sys/getfile.sh

Now run again:

sudo initctl start update-checker

I talked to Sam, some people (myself included) has the getfile.sh empty. He does not know why.

I think a "sticky" should be made with this code made by s7mx1

Hi fernandog,
That should have worked.
Didn't found that thread when searching, should have digged deeper.

In the mean time I already initiated a fresh install.
(and a manual copy to a partitioned HD)
Thanks.

Thanks for the guide. However I must some how have managed to do something wrong, because after I followed your guide I just got a blank black screen when I rebooted...
I solved this by simply re-installing raspbmc. Hopefully it will continue to update in the future.
Thanks anyway though
