Even if there is no source.list for Quantal?

Will the source entry for Precise do?

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-eden/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-eden/ubuntu precise main


OK, I sudo ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba and this worked like a charm and reported that XBMC was downgraded. but not from https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba-eden, since I was unsure that i need to add this ppa before removing the previous one.

Although the XBMC lauchned, i lost sound, also noticed the sound sound device with frodo listed "Samsung" somewhere in the tittle. Let met know on the PPA, shoud it be added befor I delete the first and whether i can use the Precise version as i mentioned.

thanks for all the assistance.
Code:
add=apt-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-eden

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install xbmc
And if things break and dont work, remember you asked for a state of the art XBMC to be nuked in favour of outstandingly ancient version instead.

Frodo had AE, Eden has nothing.

Good luck sorting your audio now, thers 2 million threads on this, enjoy the read.

Sorry, uNi, i meant no disrespect by downgrading xbmc, Most of the add-ons are not working for Frodo; causing problems so i has no choice but to downgrade on the machine that is hooked up to the tv


My solution the sound was to create the file .asoundrc in the home directory with the following content.

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
}


the script is AWESOME!
Shouldnt this script work on ubuntu server 12.10 ?

did run it on that distro with the following hardware
intel celeron g550
h61 chipset
onboard intel gfx

after the script was done i rebooted the PC, but i just get a blank screen and no ssh access.
I think the PC freezes cuz it doesnt respond to alt+ctrl+F1

any ideas ?

furii - the rc6=0 didnt change a thing.
it also seems like if it is the rc6 problem you should still have ssh access. in my situation the system is totally crashing

those are the same symptoms described in the thread, specially no ssh and not being able to change ttyl. disabling rc6 should have done the trick based on your hardware so my guess is maybe there was a typo or you didn't update-grub when you were done. your other option would be to purge frodo and roll back to eden.
@kresten

You did read the thread right? If you did you notice that your problem is 100% the same, so as furii said, you likely missed something in your /etc/default/grub and didnt run sudo update-grub when you were done.

make sure your adding i915.i915_enable_rc6=0 to your etc/default/grub in the line:

Code:
nano /etc/default/grub

find line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.i915_enable_rc6=0"

sudo update-grub
then it should be ready.

The Eden version from this ppa does ONLY support AMD Gfx!
Nevermind - got into terminal and did what you said uni and now it works - thank you very much.
Must have made a typo on the first try

anybody else using flirc?

I looked around internet to try and solve this but nothing I do changes anything.
(although with my knowledge of linux and english is like reading klingon).

I have just one problem, after resume my flirc is not present until i plug it to a different usb port. (it is not listed when I enter "lsusb").

It worked fine on openelec and XBMCbuntu 11 so I guess it has something to do with minimal 12.10.

Any chance this would work on older version of minimal (where I could use rc.local again)?

Or some other solution...

If you need more info just tell me what you need.

Thanks

anybody? pls

Clearly No one is using Flirc here, Otherwise a reply would have come along. Also unrelated to Script so your not posting in correct place.

Try your luck making your own thread about this with proper information.

Thanks uNi - did not want to open new thread until I was sure it has nothing to do with script.
Great script. But after the script finishes, and I reboot the PC, the machine locks up trying to start XBMC. My motherboard is an Intel DH67GD with an onboard HD3000. I think its gpu driver related, I am however not able to pinpoint the exact problem. Can you help ...?
Think my issue is related to this;
