Linux XBMC FRODO Ubuntu 12.04 Cannot exit xbmc freezes system
#1
Trying XBMC Frodo on my Ubuntu 12.04 system. Instqalls fine. Runs and seems to be working. When I try to exit back to Ubuntu the system hangs. I have to switch into another session and kill xbmc to get back to Desktop.

Does anyone else have this issue and is there a workaround?

Cheers

It sounds to me you guys installed xbmc in your Linux and didn't add proper permission to the user running xbmc.

try.

Code:
sudo usermod --group audio,video,fuse,cdrom,plugdev xbmc
sudo adduser xbmc users

Where xbmc is your username (in my case was xbmc for simplicity since its a dedicated HTPC)

OK, so it is now exiting OK, this was after switching to windowed mode and then back to full screen in the settings menu.

Other issues are:

For some reason it sets my DNS to 127.0.0.1 instead of the DNS on my network. And I get duplicat4ed movies when it accesses the mysql DB that the other EDEN XBMC's are using with no problems.

Hi thanks for your reply, no it isn't a permissions issue. It became an issue after installing one of the add-ons. It has corrected itself now since the last update.
