Hello,

Love the automation of this script, however whenever I start my computer xbmc first crashes then restarts, while it does appear to be working i'd like to get it to work the way it should. I used v2.61 to install, i'm also using the upstart process to auto start xbmc. XBMC crash log

Did you try running the script again (no need to do a new ubuntu installation) with all the same options but using init.d instead of upstart? It's more stable anyway, in my experience.

@Frozin

Its the drivers

12:08:43 T:3038320384 NOTICE: GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION = 1.20

Install proper drivers and it should work. some intel requires kernel 3.9 and newer.

Gave that a try, and now all that comes up is the xbmc blue bubble background, and nothing else...

Gave this script a shot after Openelec got really unstable on my hardware, XBMCBuntu is way to sluggish. The script idea is nice but i constantly run into one issue.

12.10 ubuntu minimal x64 coupled with the 2.6.1 script leaves me at a login page, control f8 brings me to xbmc. init.d was picked, not upstart.
13.04 ubuntu minimal x64 coupled with the 2.6.0 script leaves me at a login page, control f8 brings me to xbmc. init.d was picked, not upstart.

Is there any combination of ubuntu minimal with one of the two scripts that automaticly switches to the right output? I do not wish to press control f8 every boot so if this cannot be resolved its a big show stopper for this method.

Try the upstart method., and no nothing will be fixed because bram77 isnt doing anymore work on this. so as far as Im concerned this is dead.

I've never had that problem. I've installed xbmc with both versions of the script on 12.10 and 13.04 numerous times. Maybe the ubuntu logs can provide some insight? What hardware are you using? Video card especially.

New installation with 12.10 ubuntu minimal, x64, coupled with the 2.6.0 script (upstart job) yielded the same results.

It doesnt seem to load xorg/xbmc when booted automaticly, it will load once alt-f8 is pressed. This is clearly visable because the nvidia logo only then shows itself.

dmesg doesnt note anything worthy or crashy (shows nvidia is being loaded):

Workaround: ??
Fiddled a bit more with it and got it to boot XBMC automaticly. Ive edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg, mainly the '$vt_handoff' variable. Ive placed a space behind the variable and from that point onward (3 reboots so far) it started to work. Im unsure if this is the good or the bad method, it works for this current setup and that is what counts for now Smile

Hi

After using this installation script, is there something else in addition that needs to be done for Optical Blu-ray discs to play? It doesn't seem to auto mount / play them.

I just enabled the option in the XBMC settings to auto play DVDs and that works OK, I insert a DVD disc and it plays.
I can play ripped Blu-ray ISOs fine from the file server OK as well but not discs.

A friend just suggested I may need MakeMKV from the OpenElec repository? To break the encryption on the optical Blu-ray discs.

Any tips?

Thanks

Thanks for your post endymion2k4.

I'm running on similar hardware (at least graphics-wise) and had the same problem. I'm on the following hardware/software:

Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz dual core
Intel motherboard
2GB RAM
Nvidia GT 210 PCI-E video card
SoundBlaster Live 5.1 sound card
Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit Minimal Install
Script version 2.6.0 (init.d type startup, not upstart)

I was having the same problem (xbmc on tty8, not loading at startup) and adding those spaces to /etc/grub.d/10_linux fixed it for me. I chose to put it there so that the spaces would be automatically included when I ran 'sudo update-grub'. I don't know what update options others may have chosen, but if a new kernel is downloaded and installed, grub will regenerate the boot list entries, and your spaces in /boot/grub/grub.cfg will be lost. If the changes are made to /etc/grub.d/10_linux, they should persist through a kernel upgrade.

For future reference of others, here's exactly what I changed in /etc/grub.d/10_linux on line 215 (on my system, code snippet shows lines 211-220 for context):

Code:
cat << 'EOF'

function gfxmode {

        set gfxpayload="${1}"

        if [ "${1}" = "keep" ]; then

                set vt_handoff=vt.handoff=7

        else

                set vt_handoff=

        fi

}

EOF

Code:
cat << 'EOF'

function gfxmode {

        set gfxpayload="${1}"

        if [ "${1}" = "keep" ]; then

                set vt_handoff=vt.handoff=7 <------(there is a space after this number 7, which is what I added)

        else

                set vt_handoff= 

        fi

}

EOF

Although I'm not sure why having a trailing space here would make any difference at all, it does seem to immediately resolve the issue. How odd. If anyone who knows more about the inner workings of grub wants to chime in, I'd love to know more.

This is my latest installation of XBMC with this script.
I post this to show it works as it should and errors found are most likely problems you will encounter with other types of installations.

Tested with NVIDIA graphic card, as uNiversal posted below, AMD/ATI have some issues with the orginal XMBC code.

My Hardware:
- Gigbyte P35-DS3R motherboard
- Intel Core2Duo 3Ghz
- 4GB memory
- Nvidia GL610SL 1GB HDMI output used.
- Skystar HD2 satelite PCI card without card reader.
- Realtek onboard sound output optical out.

Mini ISO installation 13.04 x64
- extra info : Upgrades = manual
- Extra installs : OpenSSH server and Samba file server.

Script used : prepare_install_2_6_1.sh
As it allows the boot logo on my setup, which 2.6.sh does not.

Script options used:
- Init.d startups.
- 1920x1080 ( full HD )
- on the mixer settings page a direct <ESC>
- Optional tweaks : temp.monitoring on andinstall addon repositories installer, Dirty regio NOT as it F&^%s up my playback.
- Temp monitor : all on default.
- Other Optional packages: LIRC - HTS - OSCAM
- LIRC setting: Windows Media Center transceivers + Microsoft Windows Media Center V2 (USB) : Direct TV Receiver.
- TVheadend (HTS) : setting username and password.
- Reboot system.

The good, the bad and the ugly: (in that order)
- Version check of TVheadend (HTS) shows the current version which is correct (3.4 at this time).
- Version check of XBMC reveals version 13.0 Alpha ( you need to change the "XBMC_PPA=ppa:team-xbmc/ppa" to the correct ppa.
- Reboot after the script droped me into single user mode as the xbmc.pid was not cleared, a reboot command fixed the issue.
The drop to single user happend after i rebooted the system through a ssh session, reboot through XBMC or direct on the system does the reboot just fine.

I changed the XBMC PPA in the script from: XBMC_PPA="ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba" to :XBMC_PPA="ppa:team-xbmc/ppa"
This will install the 12.2 version not the 13.x Alpha.

Extra Actions:
- Added MC (Midnight Commander).
- Added Apache2 for usage of the tvheadend PHP channel editor script.

Hope this helps to figure out some of the problems you encounter.

/edit: Added the changed script 2.6.1.sh with the team-xbmc ppa reference.

@Sevennl Yes that's great but anyone with ATI cards best use the xvba-frodo ppa else mainline is fine.

Ah ok, i did not know that as i use Nvidia ( i know of the limitations of AMD/ATI HDMI output ).
I still love to use this script for my re-installing as it is much faster ( daily usage ) than all others i tried ( OpenELEC etc. )
I know you don't support the script anymore, which is a shame Smile

, but if you find yourself wondering what to do , maybe a pre-select screen would be grand to add to this script.
At the start just tag what you want to install and let the script run so you can grab coffee, sit in the sun.
Pitty i am so bad in writing code, else i would do it myself.

Bram is the author and supporter of script, I helped as far as I could even adding own fixes and help out here.
However since bram is not interested in working on the script anymore (because he has something else on), unfortunately, I wont be doing it by myself so it is what it is and wont be something else. Unless of course someone want to take over. There are a few github forks of the project but none going anywhere.

Hi

Was this the correct way to upgrade XBMC to version 12.2 ?

I just ran these commands:

Code:
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin

Appears to have gone OK and now says version 12.2 in the XBMC Settings - System area.

Thanks
