you can try hitting 'tab' or 'e' to edit the grub menu then adding:to the end of the live-boot option but that didnt work for me (i forget how i eventually got past this).Code:cdrom-detect/try-usb=true
the easiest (most expensive) solution would be to buy a usb dvd burner so you can burn the iso to a cd (kinda' ruins the purpose of buying a small form factor nettop).
anyone else got any other ideas.
I didn't run into this problem, what program are you using to create a bootable usb? I know when I reloaded Dharma I used the one straight from the xbmc website.

i was using unetbootin...
i also ran into this problem trying to create a usb for kubuntu-live a while back.

Just download the latest unetbootin and it will work. I was using an old version and trying to install 10.1 live on the revo and also run into the CD Rom problem. There is a guide outthere for the 3700 which you can follow for the 3600. Just be carefull about the audio settings steps because I had some problems to have sound eventually solved but I do not know how I did it.
My advice is just follow all steps for USB drive creation and video configurations. Audio just keep as it is and create the old .asoundscr file and see how it goes from there.

IIRC there is a bug in unetbootin that means you can't install any recent versions if Ubuntu with it,which xbmc live is based on.
Solutions:use ubuntus built in startup disc creator and select the xbmc ISO
Or burn the ISO to a CD and boot using a USB CD rom.
Its a right pita.

I've just got a Revo 3610 today and I used UNetBootIn and the XBMCLive image from the XBMC site. It all worked perfectly in the end.
I've got to admit, it did fail the first time I tried but I don't think I gave it enough time to format the HD. 2nd time round it was perfect.
Some of the settings are a bit different and I can't get the menu clicks to work. Not the end of the world but I'd like them if I can.
I love the new HiDef XBMC, it brings so much life back to my collection.
Thumbs up

This code looks like it's setting a static ip for the wireless card. How would you make it so your wired connection is static. Ideally I'd like mine to be 192.168.1.2

anyone help me out... Revo 3610 XMBC Live 10.1
i followed these instructions : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834
i have configured /etc/network/interface as follows:

So i have successfully connected my wlan0 to my WAP. problem is, when i reboot the machine, wlan0 wont successfully connect without eth0 connection first.. symbolic link is set
this is what happens when i restart /etc/init.d/networking

Networking problem here.
I recently bought an Aspire Revo 3700. I successfully installed XBMC Live. However, when I go to 'add source' in the Videos section, I keep getting "error 2: no share available" (or something like that.) The folder I'm trying to add contains all my movies, and it's being shared from a NAS via windows network.
The thing is, I own the Shuttle XS35, and it works fine. I've gone in to the network tab in the systems menu to make sure the settings are the same. Any ideas?
- schneidz - 2011-05-29
^ to help diagnose the problem... are you able to samba mount the drive from the terminal (i dont know the command since i dont use windows) ?
else are you able to use something like nfs/ sshfs/ ... ?
- dopethrone - 2011-06-15
Quote:^ to help diagnose the problem...Hey sorry for the delayed reply. Insane work schedule. I wasn't able to get any kind of internet connection, wired or wireless. I poked around a bit but couldn't figure it out (I'm using XBMC Live).
Eventually I just started over, following guide: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=88369
Everything seems to be working at this point...

Hi guys could I get some help regarding sleep? I just did a fresh install of 10.1, coming from karmic. I had sleep working properly but on 10.1 when I sleep the machine it seems to stay on.
It just outputs black on the screen and the power light stays solid, as opposed to blinking.
Is there something special I need to do to get it working?

Background images… I just updated to the latest version of this skin (best one on XBMC by the way) but I noticed the default background images changed on home page. They are great, you guys pick nice images, it would be great to use the image cycle and use all the ones you have had since the start of this skin. Would I be able to download those from somewhere?
Thanks,
