Hi All,
I've been running XBMC on Windows for a long time and just recently decided to try out Linux. So I dual booted Windows 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my Dell 1558. Everything is fine except for XBMC.
Internet is working through Firefox, Chrome etc, but somehow XBMC does not seem to connect to it, or rather connects rarely to internet.
If I update my library, the scraping will ask me to cancel since it can't find connection half the time and if I select continue anyway, It will take ages to download one movie's information which in the end turn out to incomplete also.
If I try and download an addon, It just freezes a while and then it will show downloading. After sometime that 'downloading' tag will be gone and the addon will not be installed.
The XBMC system info shows the internet is connected. I googled around and tried changing the resolv.conf to add 8.8.8.8 as a nameserver, but that just made xbmc show internet is not even connected.
Any help would be more than welcome. Right now I'm scraping movies through windows, exporting them to disk and then importing into XBMC on linux. hehe..
Please note: I am a total Linux noob.
