Several points of confusion here.

X11 is the x windowing system. It's not an app.

pin's crystal xbmc image launches xbmc into it's own x11 session when it boots. You are not running under a window manager.

if you do $xbmc from a ssh session, you see to set the DISPLAY variable.

export DISPLAY=:0.0

but you also need to make sure that xbmc is not already running as it autoruns at boot.


ps aux | grep xbmc.bin

Sorry for all the confusion. I am very confused... Is there something I can do to launch xbmc into it's own x11 session like pin's image?

Here's what I get with the command you mentioned:

$ ps aux | grep xbmc.bin
xbmc 6447 0.0 0.3 3004 768 pts/0 S+ 14:18 0:00 grep xbmc.bin

sudo make install

that will overwrite the old version.

I ran make install again, and got this error:

$ sudo make install

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same display error when trying to run xbmc.

A reboot brings me to the login command prompt.
