Just updated to the 13/07 Gotham build.
Although the wizard popped up on first boot and I set the Regional Setting to English (was default), in the OE settings it shows Keyboard - US and if I click on it to change, it just displays an empty box.
With Frodo, I recall there was a setting something like "Keyboard Repeat" which I had to disable otherwise it would randomly scroll through the tabs/options quite a lot and I had to press my remote a couple of times to stop it. I can't seem to find this setting anymore though and I am having this problem again. It also seems to be missing a lot of keypresses even though my Emprex RF remote has good range and the Pi is only 3ft away (I think the receiver's registering them but they're not getting acted on by XBMC). I'm only running from SD at the moment though, so I'll see how it is once I'm running from USB (and maybe enable an overclock).
It's been so long I can't recall exactly what cmdline.txt should be! If the USB only has one partition (which MiniTool Partition Wizard shows it has, an ext4 one), would this be right?
boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/sda2 ssh quiet
I'm not sure as I'd think it would be sda1 but the above's what I've got in one of my backups
I had another one with
boot=/dev/sda2 disk=/dev/sda4 ssh quiet
where I presume I put SYSTEM on sda2 and STORAGE on sda4 (I recall I was advised I might as well leave SYSTEM on the SD as it's all loaded into RAM anyway). Again it's confusing why it would be using those numbers, rather than sda1 and sda2 though.
There's no way to edit the files on the SD other than removing it and plugging it into my PC is there? I'm pretty sure there wasn't but maybe something's changed since I last used this.
