I am getting the user permission error as well. I updated the script and now when running it with sudo I get
"This script only works on the user xbmc. exiting..."
I am logged in as xbmc, 9.04 minimal install. I have been using this script for a while and it work great to keep xbmc uptodate.

xbmc@xbmc:~$ sudo ./xbmscript.sh
This script only works on the user xbmc. exiting...
xbmc@xbmc:~$

Are you building your new script to support Jaunty or Karmic? I'm assuming since this topic is still "Easy Installation for Ubuntu Janunty Jackalope"
The reason I ask I need to know which to download to try out your new script.

Hi everyone,
Is it possible automount any USB device and put it as source, as happens in XBMC Live?
With XBMC Live, for instance, if I plug an USB flash labeled "Kingston", will immediately appear a source called "Kingston" in videos, music and pictures. This is VERY handy!
Thanks in advance.

According with this tread, the automount I mentioned will works only if xbmc is starte with --standalone
As far I know, the XBMC is started by a script in /etc/init.d
I did try start manual by running /usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin --standalone &, but this wll give the "Can't open display" error.
How can I start it with --standalone option?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
Problem solved:
Code:
sudo polkit-auth --user xbmc --grant org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable
sudo polkit-auth --user xbmc --grant org.freedesktop.hal.device.volumeShould be nice add these lines to the script, also the lines needed to make possible shut down, suspend, reboot etc.:
Code:
sudo polkit-auth --user xbmc --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.suspend
sudo polkit-auth --user xbmc --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.hibernate
sudo polkit-auth --user xbmc --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot
sudo polkit-auth --user xbmc --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown
sudo polkit-auth --user xbmc --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot-multiple-sessions
sudo polkit-auth --user xbmc --grant org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown-multiple-sessions- kizer - 2009-12-02
Thank you Fireman for those sudo commands. Now my new Ion shuts off like its supposed to.

I've removed the xbmc user check in the latest version, please update the script. Or remove the check manually.

I remove the check manually and works fine. But, just to report, the updated (12/02/2009) version still giving the same error:
Code:

I know noticed what the problem is. My hosting copied my domain name over to a different box, i've been editing the wrong xbmscript. The bad news is that I can't reach it yet, so you'll have to wait. The good news is that it should be fixed by the end of the week. For now, just manually remove line 12 to 21
