Anyone else besides me who get a crash when doing "Move" in the XBMC filemanager?

Running XBMC Linux 9.11 on a harddisk installation made from the Live CD.

Anyone?

while we certainly shouldn't crash, my .02 is on you trying to write to a dir where you don't have write access.

Well, it works fine doing a "Copy".
But a "Move" simply throws me out to a console login and a crash log is generated in the Home directory.

Instead of using "Move", I have to first make "Copy" to the new destination and then doing "Delete" of the original file. This works fine. But as soon as I try "Move"; -Bang!

I'll suggest this issue to be investigated. I've tested on 3 different computers. AMD 9850 w. GF8800GT, Intel Atom w. ION, VMware virtual machine. Same result. XBMC crashes when doing a "Move" in the filemanager.

Installed XBMC to a local harddisk from the Linux Live CD.

My filemanager scenario is like following:

Left side: XBMC local Home directory.
Right side: A network SMB share.

Move a file from the SMB share to the Home directory:
-Bang! Crashes out to terminal login.


* I would like to file a bug report. But before I do, I would like to hear from others here to confirm the problem.

fixed in r27174. thanks for the report

[Milleman]

Always at your service!

Do you have a link to documentation on how to update a Linux installation made from a Live CD? I'm running an Atom ION solely dedicated for XBMC. I would like to apply the r27174 when it becomes available, but couldn't find anything for Live CD at the Nightly Builds.

Or do I simply login via SSH and do a "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade"? Do I have to add something to the sources list in order to get the latest revisions?

Sincerely,

Add the development / svn ppa's

Hmm...
Can't find the Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) which the XBMC Live 9.11 is based on. Maybe the page is out of date. Will it work changing the links?

This:

Code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Into this?

Code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

Sorry didnt see your edit - those sources will work

If you're running a hard disk installation of the Live CD:

DON'T add the link sources under "Current development release PPAs". Doing so and make an "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" will remove the xbmc-live from the hard disk and all you will see after next reboot, is the terminal login prompt.

But,
Adding the link sources under "Current stable/pre-release PPAs" will work fine.

I'm glad I tested on a temporary disk and not on my production one.
