I've installed XBMC on Ubuntu using http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title...-by-Step_Guide this guide. I've set it up to autoload. Now it's loadede every time I try to login. How can I remove autoload of XBMC.
View 4 RepliesI have internet access and a semi-working Ubuntu install via command line / SSH. XBMC has been running fine until I did an update, then the xorg.conf got ##$@ed and I've spent the last 4 hours googling and trying to fix it. I'd love to just reinstall, but I don't have a blank CD or a USB Drive to use. Is there anyways I can just erase everything and start from scratch? AFAIK it's not possible to run the Ubuntu Minimal install from anywhere but a CD-ROM or USB Stick.This PC also has access to a Windows directory so I guess I could use WUBI, but would like to avoid that if possible.

I used the .debs in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-pa/mainline/.I know I could just add it to /etc/modules or some .rc, but it loads without that in .28 and I really want to understand what changed (something else in /etc?) .

When I use the update manager, or use the terminal to search for updates, I get this error message:

Now, I know this is a problem with Xbmc (which worked like trash) but I have no clue now to remove it, I've tried to reinstall it, using the purge and auto remove commands, but no such luck.
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 with XBMC and am trying to use it to stream media to my XBOX 360. I can connect to it but it shows "No videos found" (same for music and pictures).
I can watch videos/listen to music/view pictures on my desktop so I am fairly sure the library is set up properly. I have samba set up and can view my shared media on my other desktop (running windows XP). I also tried using ushare, which worked but would not play very well.
I have tried all the setting in System-->Network, all to no avail.
I followed the instructions at [url] and added the team-xbmc repository, and updated apt-get
Then I try sudo-apt-get install xbmc xbmc-standalone and see the following:
What can I do to install XBMC on Ubuntu 10.04?
after I boot the system, it would get to XBMC automatically, and when I tried to exit XBMC, it returns to login screen with two choices for Sessions, XBMC and xterm. xterm just gets me a terminal. So I tried to remove xbmc by using command line. Now, whenever I start the system, it takes me to the login screen, and after entering my credentials, the screen will go black for 1 or 2 seconds, then return to the login screen again, in an infinite loops.

It is advised that you delay this step until XBMC is setup as you'd like it.
1. From the desktop click System -> Administration -> Login Screen

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed the xbmc live linux distro on a revo aspire. It's basically a stripped down version of 9.10. It installed fine the first time, but somehow the OS got corrupted (i'm not entirely sure how) and it didn't have the ability to sleep or shut down without being manually powered off. Now when i use a bootable usb drive that i tested on another laptop, it sees the usb drive but when i select it the computer just boots to the hd instead. Is there a way to force boot off a drive? or has anyone seen something similar to this?
side note: when i try to shut down, the computer drops to cli with the user xbmc-gbr and i can shutdown the computer from there (shutdown -h now).
I've bought myself an Acer Revo and have 10.04 running nicely on it. After some basic tweaks I have 1080p content playing flawlessly.However, I'd like the system to boot directly into xbmc (no gdm etc). Can anyone suggest how this might be achieved?Under 9.10 I used a minimal install and edited /etc/event.d/tty1 to login a user. .bash_profile was then edited to start xbmc.

When i start it,i see very strange image,like hundreds of rectangles with parts of images from games,applications,even parts of my Windows desktop (which is on another partition). And after 2-3 seconds,it exits.
I use my second machine mainly as an xbmc box, but for the past few months it has come across a problem where if I idle for a certain period while running xbmc, eventually my Xorg process will basically hang, using 99% or more of my CPU. I can rescue my machine via ssh if I stop the gdm service and then kill the Xorg process, but re-starting gdm will cause Xorg to immediately use 99% again, even if xbmc is no longer running.
This will invariably occur if xbmc is running, and never occurs if not. I believe sometimes it also will happen if I am actually using xbmc, but usually it happens when idling. I have tried changing the screen saver to a blank screen, thinking that maybe the screen saver was causing some kind of graphics driver problem, to no avail.
I understand if this should be posted at the xbmc problems but the fact that the problem persists after shutting down xbmc and restarting gdm/Xorg suggests to me that something is going awry outside of xbmc. The logs for both xbmc and Xorg do not reveal anything that would suggest why things would all of a sudden break.
I am running xbmc on a retired mythbuntu installation, x86_64, which has had most of the myth stuff removed. I already disabled/uninstalled pulseaudio and compiz. This phenomenon occured all way way back with Gutsy Gibbon and I have since tried every upgrade in between, now on Lucid Lynx. I have also tried with both stable and daily SVN builds of xbmc.
Any ideas on where I might start debugging this problem? What is confusing to me is that xbmc seems to be stable, and so does Xorg. If I had to guess it would be a driver issue, though I have also tried multiple versions of the Nvidia driver as well (currently using 195.36.07.03).
I recently installed XBMC and Boxee on my Linux laptop, but neither of them are connecting to the internet. Since I'd like to try XBMC first, I'll talk about that here. When I run the program, I do not have a Live TV icon or link on the side. I can see my Music, Programs, Settings, Pictures, Video and Weather links on the sidebar, but my Weather page is blank as in I do not see any weather forecasts or whatever else ought to be on that page. I thought that maybe since I was running XBMC as a user there might be some permissions issues, so I ran "sudo xbmc" and received an error message "Do_Wait: DRMWaitBlank returned -1, IRQs Don't Seem to be working correctly. Try adjusting the vBlank_mode configuration parameter." No idea what that means. I've tried connecting both via Ethernet and my WiFi.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having problem with XBMC sessions at startup. If a session is started automatically, i have no audio. IF i load gnome, then xbmc inside gnome. i have audio. If i then log out and log in using a xbmc session, i have audio. If i reboot then start xbmc a session (without logging into gnome and running it first), i have no audioWhats the deal? Originally i had problems with permissions, i hadn't selected "use audio devices" in the permissions menu when adding the user. Once i did this, i was able to use audio in gnome, then in xbmc. But never in when starting a sessions in xbmc first.

I have downloaded and compiled the xboxdriver from Grumbels git hub. Running 9.10 minimal with xbmc 9.11. I can run the driver manually and actually run multiple instances of the driver for multiple controllers. I cannot however get more than one instance of the driver to start up at boot. I have the freshly compiled driver and daemon that came with source files in /usr/local/bin.
I can run the driver via 'sudo /usr/local/bin/xboxdrv --wid0', I can even get a second wireless controller working with 'sudo /usr/local/bin/xboxdrv --wid1'
When I add the driver to /etc/rc.local it runs fine on startup. The problem is I want more than one instance running. When I add the exact same line right under it except change the wid0 to wid1 it will not automaticly run the second driver. I also can get zero activity from the daemon. I have tried adding it to the rc.local, or /etc/init.d/local (I think someone mentioned it somewhere) with no luck.
I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong. My ultimate goal is to have 2 minimum to 4 maximum controllers work from startup. I want to add emulators to a xbmc htpc and just dont want to have to worry about manually starting drivers. I have forgone using xpad due to its somewhat limited support for wireless xbox360 controllers.

View 4 Replies View Related28/12/2009 I installed Ubuntu minimal AMD64 and followed the following guide to install it as an HTPC using XBMC. Note that that date was after XBMC's 9.11 official release.[URL]...give and take really minor adaptions, since the guide is not entirely 1 on 1. The process installed XBMC Beta 1 though.
Now, when I do:
- sudo apt-get update / upgrade
The result is:
Code:
The following packages have been kept back:

Some of these are libvdpau1, pkg-config, pmount, xinit, xserver-common, xserver-xorg, *-core, *-input-all, *-evdev, *-mouse, *-synaptics etc. A lot of which are needed as aptitude reports by the package xbmc-common, which I suppose XBMC needs to operate.
I do not want to "autoremove". I did that before and that resulted in having a corrupted system and hence the new installation of 28/12. Any idea what is wrong? Why wasn't the official release installed and was Beta1 chosen instead? Why does Aptitude propose to have all these necessary packages deleted? And of course, why am I not able to upgrade to XBMC's latest and final version? How can I?
I am running 64bit Ubuntu and have just installed XBMC and the install has gone great so far. Easy to set up and configure and all my media now works. I have installed lircrc and my remote works when in XBMC.
I have created a file .lircrc in my home share and added the following
begin
remote = mceusb
button = Home
prog = irexec
repeat = 0
config = /usr/share/applications/XBMC Media Center
end
thought I'd take the plunge and use it as the OS for a new HTPS running XBMC. I installed a second 1TB HDD to use as a media tank that I formatted to NTFS. All is well except I cannot get XBMC to see the second drive. Its mounted and I can access it no worries, but when I go into Videos,> add source, > i'm given the home folder and my network as options, neither of which have the second drive on them. (my windows network can see the second drive but it doesn't appear as an option in XBMC

I know it's old lol but probably better than the onboard graphics. The computer is a Compaq Presario sr1403wm. I checked proprietary drivers and there are none available. The graphics run smooth on the desktop and I don't have Compiz enabled. is the graphics card just too old for XBMC? Weird thing is, I also have the same problem in Ubuntu on my good desktop when it's connected to my TV. Just using a normal VGA cable. If I have it connected to my computer monitor using a DVI cable, there's no problem. The only thing I thought of was maybe the resolution was too high, but that made no difference with either computer. If this computer is too old for XBMC, what would be second best in line? MythTV? Doesn't need TV capabilities. Just to watch what's already on the computer. I just really like the XBMC interface and the fact that I can boot right into the interface and of course all the cool plugins and whatnot.
Alright, the lifehacker article about this Acer machine got me interested in revisiting XBMC as a media center. I bought the AR1600-U910H from Newegg and have been struggling for a couple of weeks to get it working correctly. I opted to install a full Ubuntu desktop to utilize the hardware fully with a standalone version of XBMC. I am currently running Lucid with NVIDIA 256.25 (was running 195 series) driver. Switched to 256 because I heard it fixes the no multi-channel output problem. However, sadly I can't get multi-channel out to work. I have the HDMI output going through my Onkyo TX-SR608 receiver for both audio and video. My problem is I can only get stereo sound out while running XBMC (or any application for that matter).
I've upgraded Alsa to 1.0.23. I've installed new Beta 256.25 NVIDIA driver. I've configured Alsa about 28 different times. I'm at my wits end. So, my question is - does anybody having a similar setup with the ION chip (or the Acer Aspire Revo in particular) where they can succesfully get HDMI digital audio pass through to a receiver (or at least digital multi channel out)? The best I've gotten is 2 channel audio, which doesn't do a lot of good on a 5.1 setup. If I would have known getting multichannel audio would be so difficult I would have rethought starting this endeavor. I don't care if I have to do a fresh reinstall of everything - if that means a different version Ubuntu so be it.
I'm having sound problems. I get sound but it sounds horrible. It seems to be worse when i'm playing something in xbmc. When i type this command

I regularly use XBMC on my htpc. Everything seems to work just fine except that I cannot watch DVDs with it. It just never detects a DVD. If I insert a DVD with XBMC running, it just lets me browse the files. If I select the video files it plays some of them (depending on the DVD apparently). If I click on the play button it says that no disk is detected. There is nothing that I can see in the log file and seems relevant. I really don't know what to do. The computer is an HP z555. I just modified it by adding more ram and I changed the video card for an NVIDIA 8400GS. It is running Ubuntu Lucid and XBMC 9.11 installed from the PPA repository. The dvds play well with totem, vlc and mplayer
