Does anybody have any issues with xbmc not shutting off? I tried to use the shutdown and it appears to reboot the machine or at least it appears to. I can power down useing the power button, but you can't using the on screen menu. Could it be that the build had a few bugs that newer versions resolve? Also the time script that will shut down the machine after a preset amount of time doesn't seem to work either.

Morning all,

First of all thank you kizer for hosting the modified version of the script; this is the first time ever I have managed to install XBMC, and I have been trying for a few weeks now. Of course a big thank you to flxfxp for the original script; excellent work !

Now, I have installed (on my Asrock Ion) option 1, followed by option 2 ; selected driver 190; all seems to work other than HDMI Audio; I know there is a fix for that, but I didn't have time to play around with it.

I also have the issue that xbmc does not shutdown when asked too, it reboots instead; but again, did not have time to play around; was already so happy to have XBMC start up :-)

Awesome linuxluemmel! This really saved me some time to work on the rest of the script.
Kizer, there is a new version of XBMScript in the works. I hope to have released this by the end of the month, or early December. As it looks from now, it shall have proper Karmic support plus a lot of fixes and some extras.

Everyone, please have some patience. I shall be pushing out the new version asap.

Regards,

Dennis

That sound's great !!!

I hope the updated script will still running under ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty).

And maybe there comes the rollback function within the script ? Big Grin

Thx in advance

I will keep supporting 9.04, it will determine installation parameters on the info supplied in /etc/issue.

I do not know what you mean by rollback function though.

- revoman - 2009-11-24

No problem, i can explain this Nod

Here's the text from an earlier post:

Can i use option 2 from time to time to get the latest release ?

Will the current installed version automatically upgraded to the newest svn build ?

What can i do when the update fails or the svn has too many bugs ?

A revert to last installed svn (ROLLBACK FUNCTION) would be a good idea, or not ?

Or it is ok to copy this 2 folders:
/usr/share/xbmc
/home/xbmc/.xbmc/

(That's all ? or anything missed?)

to a save location before starting with option 2 ?

When the update fails this 2 folders (with all subfolders) can be copied to the old location and verything reverts to the state before update takes place ?

But the option to revert (ROLLBACK) to last installed version would be the greatest !!!

Thx in advance

Martin

Linux experts, read on.
Seems a lot has changed during my hiatus, xbmc aint starting for some reason on 9.04. As far as I can see it installs correctly but it doesn't start xbmc. When I try to start it it gives:
error: unable to open display
FEH.py: cannot connect to X server

Here is my partially new xbmscript: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50769/xbmscript/xbmscript.sh
Here is the full installation log: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/50769/xbmscript/installxmb.log

Help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Dennis

Your welcome on the hosting of the modified script. I'm just surprised you got it to work running Option 2. I tried a few times and couldn't, but I guess I can try it again. For audio this is what I found.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=443153&postcount=365

Make sure you run "sudo alsamixer" and make sure you un-mute things. Thats how I got my HDMI audio working. I think it was F1 running alsamixer to unmute the HDMI output. Then while your in settings you need to make sure you enable hdmi audio in the settings within XBMC.

- kizer - 2009-11-25

FlxFxp I looked through your log and I didn't see any error messages at all. It also looks like you only installed the app, but didn't run option 2 unless I'm seeing it wrong.

The Bandaid fix seems to do that very thing, but it doesn't seem to allow running of option 2, unless something has changed since I last tried it. One other user has reported that he ran Option 1 and 2 and it worked, but had audio problems. Now Im really boggled. Wink

- kizer - 2009-11-25

There is a mention here that using 9.10 with nvidia drivers is causing some problems and he recommends we stick with 9.04.

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=444856&postcount=2

I have zero video or audio problems with 185 drivers on jaunty, but I just would like to update to a newer release of XBMC myself. Wink and leave karmic alone since its rather new.

Anybody, but me having the issue when you click shut off from the skin it acutally reboots and if you set the timer in the options to auto shut off after a specific amount of time it actually reboots as well?

I thought I might of found a fix for it last night, but I'll take a look again for what I thought I found.

The only way I've really been able to shut things down is by holding in the power button. Not a big deal, but kinda makes the shutdown via the remote useless and makes the timer in the script useless too.

I just used the modified script to install on an Asrock 330 w/ Ubuntu 9.04 and everything went fine, except I am having the same shutdown problem.

Thanks flxfxp and everyone else for the help.

Hi kizer,

why did you spam this thread with a new post every 5 minutes ?
You can edit one post and write down your changes.

I've asked something in one post a while ago ... i came back and found x new posts from you ... my post will drop back and never be read.

So please don't start new post's every n minutes with only one question ... now one answer you and this thread is not a one man show.

Sorry, but i don't like that kind of bumping.

Best Regards

Martin
