The upgrade steps below are based on the assumption you have SlaXBMC 13.37 installed on your HTPC and the upgrade process is taking place there; however the upgrade would work equally well on a full Slackware 13.37 configured system with the extra (xbc/xsc) packages from the SlaXBMC 13.37 distribution ISO.
NOTE: Those of you who have followed the SlaXBMC Eden RC2 upgrade cycle please Fast Forward to Step 7b :)
So lets get on with it...
- Revert the current XBMC skin back to the XBMC default (Confluence) where applicable
- Exit XBMC to desktop
- Right click on the Desktop and start-up an XTerm console
- Install the latest Slackware security patches
If you get the following information message:root@SlaXBMC:~#slackpkg update
" You do not have any mirror selected in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors
Please edit that file and uncomment ONE mirror. Slackpkg
only works with ONE mirror selected."
Then perform the following bullet-point process and try again on completion:root@SlaXBMC:~#cd /etc/slackpkg
root@SlaXBMC:~#mc- Browse to the file mirrors using the arrow keys and press F4
- Use the arrow keys to navigate down the list of Slackware 13.37 FTP and HTTP mirrors
- Delete the # character at the beginning of ONE FTP or HTTP mirror listing
- Press on F2 and select Save
- Press twice F10 followed by Yes
