First please follow steps 1-8 from this guide. Linux - GUIDE: Installing XBMCBuntu Eden on a Shuttle XS35GTV2

Obviously for step 8 you should use the Gotham ISO instead of Eden.

During step 8 please follow point 1:

1 - When installing XBMCbuntu you must configure a wireless connection

This is because due to an issue with the gigabit ethernet we will need to force it to 100Mbs but we'll need the wireless connection to be able to do this.

2- Upgrade from Gotham 13.0 to 13.2 (Final)

Login via SSH, then:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc

3 - Select HDMI Audio Device

Code:

System->Settings->System->Audio Output

Simply select the correct "Audio Output Device" (first item in the menu)

4 - Setting to combine split video files

Code:

System->Settings->Video->File Lists

Simply select "Combine split video items" (fourth item in the menu)

5 - Wired Ethernet not working with Gigabit

For some reason you need to explicitly set the speed to 100Mbs. Login via SSH, then:

Code:

sudo vi /etc/init.d/100Mbs

Insert the following contents

Code:

#!/bin/sh
ETHTOOL="/sbin/ethtool"
DEV="eth0"
SPEED="100 duplex full"
AUTONEG="off"
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Setting eth0 speed 100 duplex full...";
$ETHTOOL -s $DEV speed $SPEED autoneg $AUTONEG;
echo " done.";;
stop)
;;
esac
exit 0

Now make this file executable:

Code:

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/100Mbs

And add it to the startup scripts:

Code:

sudo update-rc.d 100Mbs defaults

Now reboot to have this run on startup.

Note: The wireless will still be configured but the wired ethernet with be used by default
