i am attempting to auto boot my installation of xbmc on a full ubuntu 9.10.
i have installed xbmc and xbmc-standalone packages, etc.
i can manually start xbmc from the menu's, however i would like it to automatically start on login/boot/startup.
i searched numerous threads regarding this, but none seem ideal and many are custom made/edited solutions, and now i have such info-overload i have lost my way! can someone please make this simpler for me?
i cannot install xbmc-live as a package, as this removes gdm, and i still want to retain the "full" aspect of the O/S for other things, such as editing files, updating components, etc.
but it would seem that this contains the basic mechanisms other have used to get their solution, in the following files: runXBMC.sh, setAlsaVolumes, diskmounter and xbmc-live.conf.
where can i get these files from? some mention from svn, but i dont know how exactly to do that, and i would like the same version of these scripts that matches up with the current version of my installation.
when i have these, what are the amendments people are making to get this working?
cheers
