Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me, i'm having problems with my RC2 live install that i've never had before. I'm running on an Acer Revo 3610, with the wireless upgraded to intel (binned the rubbish Atheros!). I'm using WICD to manage my wireless connection and its working fine, from the console, but NOT from within XBMC. I've got no RSS ticker or weather. If I exit XBMC, login to the console the do 'xinit xbmc' everything works fine!!
So, i'm suspecting one of two issue.
1. XBMC is starting before WICD, thus not picking up the network connection.
2. Permissions issue with XBMC
I'm leaning more towards 1 as last night i watched an episode of chuck (40mins) and when i got back to the homescreen the weather and rss had appeared!!
Can anyone suggest how i ensure WICD is up and connected before starting XBMC. I read on another thread someone suggesting putting 'sleep 10' at the start of runXBMC.... this didn't work for me.
Please let me know any logs i can provide.
Thanks,
Jonathan
