Ubuntu :: XBMC Session, No Audio, Permissions?
Jun 13, 2010
I'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've spent the whole day trying to get xbmc to run on my Asus EB1501P. It seems impossible to get the sound to work.
I've installed ubuntu and xbmc acording to the wiki:
[URL]
But I can't eaven get analogue audio from the device.
Have anyone succeeded with this ?
I'm almost at the point of giving up and installing win7 instead =/

Have problem with HD too full so I have booted from a live CD hoping to copy my document and data files onto an external drive.
Have a problem with a couple directories on my HD. They have a X on them and when I try to copy them I get an error message that I do not have permission to read them. Same thing happens when I go to open the directory to see what files are in there.
I can get the permissions changed in live CD session so I can copy them to the external drive.
No luck doing it in a regular boot to my HD as it will not allow me in due to the HD being full. Even in terminal I can't access the directories in question because the seem not to exist but yet when I do a df command they show up.
P.S. This problem occurred after I updated to ver 10.4

have an OpenSuSE 11.4 (Linux 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop) with XBMC (10.1) installed.During installation of SuSE, I've created a user called "xbmc" and enabled autologin for this user. After XBMC have been installed I added the following to /home/xbmc/.xinitrc - "exec /usr/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone -fs"... so far so good - everything is perfectly fine..... or at least almost - when trying to play some musik I get the message "Failed to initialize audio device, Check your Audio Settings"... but if I close XBMC, log in to Gnome as root, open a terminal an su to user "xbmc" and start xbmc from commandline it works if I choose "Internal Analog Audio" in System -> System -> Audio Output. Now the spooky/funny parts appears... I check the options in Audio Output I see the following:
With Autologin:
Defaults
iec958
hdmi
HDA Intel Defaults
[code]...
When returning to auto-login - it stops working again... By the way - to be sure that it wasn't a rights-problem, I ended up changing the UID for the "xbmc"-user to "0" to ensure root-privilegies

Is there a session manager I can use with 10.10? I would like to try Openbox but am not sure how to select it as a startup session. I would like to be able to choose between kde, gnome and openbox.

I have a very bad attempt at hashing the components of an tcp session to assign/locate the session in a hash table bucket. I am pretty sure that it has a very high collision rate and when there are a very large number of tcp sessions my application is having to search a long linked list to find the session within the bucket.
All the hashing functions I have found take a single string input where I need to input several integers and hash them into a single result. My guess is that any real hashing function is going to produce better results than what I am currently doing.

I am putting together some new systems for my customer and I'm having some trouble with a script that we use to back up files to a DVD R. The problem is that I can't write a 2nd session to the DVD unless I eject the disk and reload it. The drives are slimline type drives, Sony BD-5730S and Teac DV-W28S-V93, so they won't reload without human intervention. Opsys is CentOS 5.4 or RHEL 5.4. I've tried both AMD and Intel based mother boards. If i try this on Fedora 11 or 12 it works fine. This works on IDE attached drives but not a SATA attached drives. Fedora appears to use something called genisoimage instead of mkisofs. I can't get genisoimage to run on CentOS or RHEL.
Here's the code to setup the test files:
rm -f /tmp/BDtest/*
mkdir /tmp/BDtest
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/BDtest/blank.iso bs=10M count=1
for NUM in {1..160}

I am currently in a project to set up an LTSP server with 10 thin clients. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic).
Installing server and booting clients are working fine. Now, according to the need, I have to restrict user session numbers and allow resuming previous user session.
I have achieved to do the first one, but still could not able to setup the second one. As per requirement, if some thin can have power failure, the same session should be restored back. I am confused here, if I need to focus on saving xsessions or saving gnome sessions. I am looking for a concrete solution as I am running out of time.

Finally I managed to install my printer/scanner drivers.The last thing I need to do is to add the following two lines to 40-libsane.rules (which is a read only file):# Brother scanners ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes".How can I change permissions for this file or add these lines without changing permissions?

Problem: permissions for rsync and BackinTime. Setup: Ubuntu 11.04, Two internal HD, #1=main, single boot, #2=backup drive. Question: How do I set up my 2nd HD with correct permissions? Background: I had previously a dual boot XP+10.04 with a 2nd HD formatted as NTFS. With this I was able to use my rsync and backintime to my 2nd HD with no issue. My new set up is EXT4 on both HD.
(I even tried to reformat my 2nd HD as NTFS, but that didnt fix the issue) I followed [URL] to mount the 2nd HD and get permissions. But now when I run backintime i get this error: [E] Error: rsync: opendir "/home/myhome/.ssh" failed: Permission denied (13) I did my requisite reading for a newbie, and am stuck. I ran backintime as root, and it backed up ok. How do I run my user version of backintime? (i.e. How do I fix the permission issue?)

When I use the update manager, or use the terminal to search for updates, I get this error message:
W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found
, W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found
, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
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.

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. How do I get my Gnome desktop back? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit

I got into ubuntu-netbook-10.04.2 through the graphical interface ensures that xbmc as the first boot as described below. Autostart XBMC (optional)I did perform this step, since it makes your system only run XBMC. I wanted to be able to select the application By following these instructions, your system will boot directly into XBMC rather than your desktop from now on. 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
2. From the "Security" tab choose "Enable Automatic Login" and select your username.
3. Click "OK" to exit.
4. Logout of your system.
5. From the Login screen choose "Select Session"
6. Choose "XBMC" and click "Change Session"
does anyone know how I can undo ihave webmin so I could edit some script.

I 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.

i'm using lucid and have ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB graphics card. I installed ATI's drivers and XBMC used to work perfectly, but now after i disabled them and activated them again i have this problem:
Quote:
igor@igor-desktop:~$ xbmc
/usr/share/themes/MurrinaLoveGray/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:50: Murrine configuration option "scrollbar_color" is no longer supported and will be ignored.
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server "�."
after 137 requests (136 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
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.

I am really having a tough time getting my MCE remote to work with XBMC. I have got to the point where sometimes it work but then it gets VERY sluggish and my system crashes.

#It includes the default configuration for the remote and/or
#transmitter that you have selected during package installation.

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.
