Thank you. I did it myself and it didn't work. My command line system didn't have the X server but I had put X11-common as a dependency for XBMC. I have installed xinit to launch XBMC over X. It didn't work, It looks like I also need to install xserver-xorg-core to be able to launch X.
So I should add it as a dependency.

It's been a month; any plans on fixing and releasing 2.1a1 or just moving on to 2.1a2? Lots of changes in the past month.

hello,
I won't take the decision to release another version (based on another SVN version). I am waiting for the project managers to decide.

Yep, the question was aimed at them.

Current SVN has support for $HOME/.xbmc when run with the -p command line parameter. In addition we've also got 'make install' working which installs xbmc into /usr/share/xbmc (no support for a prefix yet). As soon as we do one more trunk merge, I'll update the branch which we can use to create a new version. Wattazoum, thanks a lot for all your help!

Could we pretty please get VOB/IFO DVD rips to play properly before the next big build? They play in a little preview box right now so I've got to use my old XBOX for playback of my entire DVD library save the HD rips I've done.

A patch is welcomed http://www.cprogramming.com/begin.html
Otherwise you'll just have too wait untill a dev does it. No feature request is still active...

Believe me, if I could figure it out I would have posted something and I have tried digging through the code. It's possible to get it to go full screen by hitting TAB on the keyboard but the video is pretty glitched. Not sure if the error lies in the DVDplayer code or the interface code. Point me in the direction and I'll try to find it.
I don't know C but I've coded in other things, willing to try anyway. <shrug> Edit: Oh, video usually plays perfectly in the little square. On some builds it won't play but it usually comes back in a few days with new builds. Is weird for sure.It's a logic error, on the XBOX it starts in the same small square but as the video begins it switches to full screen. On the Linux box the switch doesn't occur, something is missed. I suspect the OSX and Windows SDL ports see the same behavior.
Not a feature request BTW, bug report for a feature that works perfectly on the XBOX. Right now only a few of us see this bug but in a wider beta others will see it. In my case it renders 600+ DVD unusable so I'm fairly motivated!

Just so I know there's no confusion the system I reported this error on was running 7.10 with X and the Gnome interface as is typically installed by defaults.

I have just submitted a patch to sourceforge:
which adds the prefix functionality to the install scripts . I have also noticed that the '/usr/share/xbmc' path were hardcoded in the PlatformDefs.h so , it wasn't possible to install on an alternate directory. The patch also fixes this.
This patch is a must if we want to use "make install" for debian packaging.
One effect of the patch is that it change the installation location to the system default 'prefix' install directory (which is /usr/local)

Ah, that's what I thought
.Since XBMC needs to be installable on a minimal system ( without Gnome) , there is a dependency missing. I shall fix this for the next release.

that was awesome fast - trying out now - tks!!

I don't quite understand what he is providing. Is it a source package that must be compiled? A package for gutsy? If I add the deb repository and type
sudo apt-get install xbmc (or whatever)
what do I get?
