I have another issue:
I set up a Samba share to my external NTFS drive connected to my Revo. When logging in tot full-desktop Ubuntu, I can map it just fine on my windows PC: adding/deleting files works perfectly.
However, when I log in using the script to run XBMC automatically (as per default in the install procedure descriped by the OP), I only seem to have read rights to my disk. I can read just as well, but I can't write... Which is a darn shame.
Anybody know what might be causing this?

I followed the instructions here and now have a great little system running sweetly. Great tutorial!
I want to be able to use a bluetooth keyboard or mouse with this (I have a bluetooth USB dongle). Anyone know what I need to install to get bluetooth support, and how to pair up devices from the command prompt?

For some reason, x wouldn't start for me until I executed a 'sudo apt-get install x11-utils' command. I'm not sure why this didn't install "automagically", but the behavior was that it booted and failed to start x, with the error "unable to start x server". Maybe include this step explicitly in the guide?

I use the Aeon mods with multiplex and they all work perfectly.... have a look on the Aeon threads for something you like and pull it down with Git.

I'm having issues with this installation. I'm wondering how I could modify the Xclient script so that other apps might start along XBMC?
During the installation I have also installed Ubuntu Desktop. Pro: I now have a GUI for logging in, and when I want to use the PC for internet and stuff I just log in using GNOME.
When I don't select anything, the Revo automatically boots into the Xclient script that this tutorial asks us to set up and starts the XBMC media center. The problem is: I can't seem to find out how to automatically start other programs as well! I've added SABNZBD+ to the startup programs in GNOME, I edited the init.d files, .xsession, but to no avail.
Where should I add the command to start SABNZBD+, or any other app for that matter?

I have installed ubuntu and xbmc according to this guide. no errors. anyway after a reboot, x will not start.
Fata server error:
no screens found
unable to connect to X server
xbmc@htpc:~$
Seems like X is not installed?
sudo nvidia-xconfig and a reboot fixed everything
sudo apt-get install fluxbox xterm
or
sudo apt-get install blackbox xterm
...did not help
