after update no more auto login to xbmc - bostoneric - 2013-04-11

SSH'd into my xbmc.
Did the normal every so often "sudo apt-get upgrade" tonight. I noticed 5 updates download then install.
Once the install was finished I did a sudo reboot.

After reboot I see the XBMC splash screen, then lands on command prompt right after.
I login with name/pass and try to load XBMC, this is what I get back.

helpHuh?

any help would be great!

your graphical environment is broken for some reason. see /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues

RE: after update no more auto login to xbmc - bostoneric - 2013-04-11

hmmm
I may have to just reinstall xbmc as the easiest fix.

I used this with great success last time.

Try sudo start lightdm if you have XBMCbuntu.

RE: after update no more auto login to xbmc - bostoneric - 2013-04-17

and back to not auto booting into xbmc Sad

RE: after update no more auto login to xbmc - jdkiel - 2013-04-23

Hi, I had the same issue until I searched a little in the Logs. In my case xbmc is only auto booting if the attached TV is turned on...I figured this out yesterday and trying to find a solution to get it to boot even if the TV is not turned on.

RE: after update no more auto login to xbmc - grizzli - 2013-05-16

Hi, I have the same issue on several players (V12 frodo / xbmcbuntu / nvidia + zotac HW)

when booting, xbmc-standalone script always fail and then lightdm loads the xbmcbuntu desktop login
but if at this point I ssh a "sudo restart lightdm" then every thing is fine.

I went a bit further and it seems that at boot time, FEH.py ends on a seg fault. End of log file is :

<code>
/usr/local/share/xbmc/FEH.py:88: GtkWarning: IA__gdk_window_new: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (parent)' failed
window.show_all ()
Segmentation fault
</code>

I thought about an issue with drivers but if so, it should not work even after the second "sudo restart lightdm"

Any clue ?

thanks
grizzli
