@mongie:
You have an intelcard, that can do KMS out of the box, don't use
Quote:video=uvesafb:mode_option=1920x1080-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap
at all.
argh..
I tried taking those references out of the script, but I've ended up with the same result.
Strangely, when I boot and get the black screen, I have no network connectivity, despite just running the script over ssh.
I have an AMD A8 GPU, I installed with the script, but I have a black border around the xbmc screen. How do I kill X so I can rerun "sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0"? lightdm is not installed, right?
Nevermind, sudo pkill x.
Thx Bram77 for this really nice stuff. Made it much easier to install my ION330 system.

What do you prefer network manager, wicd or. Something else?
@

Who was that question for?
If I had to choose, though I dont use wifi on xbmc, I would choose wicd+
xbmc wifi addon manager
I prefer anything that doesn't force me to have desktop components installed. along with xbmc.

Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=uvesafb:mode_option=1920x1080-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
I'm having the same problem.
Running a Intel G860 cpu with built in "Intel HD Graphics".
I get the same error message at the reboot prompt at the end as well.
When it does reboot, I get the splash screen, and then a black screen.
Any suggestions?
Editing script is not gonna help once installed!
You edit the /etc/default/grub like so:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Delete the txt video=uvesafb:mode_option=1920x1080-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap
press ctrl+O to save the edit
press ctrl+X to exit nano
issue command
update-grub
You should be done.

wicd does not work with new network manager.

I am building this box for my sister she only have wifi atm.
Network manager addon did gave an error when i open the addon through the programs menu. I think it is not optimized for frodo?
I did setup the wifi manually now see
this guide.
addon uses network manager.
apt-get install network-manager

Addon wifi does NOT user network manager it uses wicd.
Its the whole point.
Edit. (stand corrected)
oops appears that the addon does NOW use network manager So dont use addon use only wicd.
uNi
I had network-manager installed then i did get an script error msg.
Ok weird on the topic it say it is using network-manager, maybey this error does not occur with wicd, i will try it.
With Bram77 script the Confluence skin menu button in the settings menu is not visible. I now go install everything manually.
Where can i find the Nvidia driver?
The skin settings has moved in newer xbmc version its in there look closer.
Don't use network manager use
wicd, this its old topic no need to jump through hoops to install wicd anymore but instructions are ok'ish
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=81858
NVidia driver I use x-swat ppa.

@uNiversal it does not work. I installed wicd
sudo apt-get install wicd wicd-curses
When i download the Network Manager XBMC plugin 0.1.4 i get: Error: script failed script.linux.nm
When i use the wicd-curses gui i get errors as-well:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Remove the network manager and dont use addon (since addon requires network manager and network manager probably requires some window manager which we dont have use for)
use only wicd, Running multiple network managers is bad.
