My relatively new XBMCbuntu (Eden v11) box was working fine last night, but this morning I turn it on and get this message while turning it on:


It never loads the GUI, just sits on a black screen with this.
I can ssh into the box, but don't know what to do.

Any help? What can I provide to give more insight?

Is the drive corrupted? It started to mount and then stopped?

Can you get to your userdata folder for a backup? SFTP it all off and reinstall xbmcbuntu?

Which drive would be corrupt? I have the OS installed on a brand new USB stick.

Is the complaint about the "network" filesystems? I have all my media on a samba share on a separate computer. That drive and computer are working fine (accessing it from my laptop right now)

I could reinstall, but I just reinstalled yesterday. Yesterday I decided to try an "apt-get dist-upgrade" which failed because the USB stick ran out of space.

hmm... maybe the stick IS corrupt.. ?

I never do a dist upgrade, in past experience it can bugger the system right up.

i would do a re-install and stay away from dist-upgrade

if the stick ran out of space, your install most probably is corrupt now

I'm re-reinstalling onto the same stick. I assume the stick itself won't be corrupted after running out of disk space.

Thanks for the advice about never doing a dist-upgrade.
Does XBMC get minor updates after its original release? What's the proper way of updating?

i boot into xbmcbuntu and do it via package manager but you can follow some instructions here
