With the script I've been hosting I gave it a go yesterday and it installed what I think is Beta2 with the new Confidence skin. I have no idea how things work in the back end, but it was installed and runs pretty nice.

First up... great script and thanks - I'd have no chance writing someth as remotely useful as this tool!

However I have not had any success installing from this script.
To begin with I cannot sudo execute the script under the xbmc user. I had to actually download a dos2unix compiler to compile the xbmscript.sh file before it would execute.

After that I have tried an install (Option 1 -stable svn) with both the 185/190 drivers. Everything cranks along normally and fine and then halfway through (unfortunately I haven't seen exactly what stage) but it glitches out and turns the tv signal off and then keeps flicking between a black screen and the main menu.

I then have to hard restart at which stage the XBMC Logo comes up.. spins and then the following screen goes a black screen with a blinking cursor.

Shame as I really thought this script might simplify the installation of a few skins!

Open to any thoughts and first and foremost - thanks!

Other info:

Acer Revo (Single Core)
Install 9.04 JJ to SDHC Card successfully
Windows 7 on main HD

I would install it first on a PC monitor before running it on a TV.

I fixed the formatting issue, should work without dos2unix. Anyway, there are currently a lot of problems occuring with the nvidia drivers not loading their modules for the kernel correctly. This causes all kinds of graphical glitches or prevents X from loading at all. I'm onto this and looking for a solution as we speak. Also, as Kizer said, Try it on a regular monitor first.

Ohyeah, I reworked the XBMScript page: http://flx.me/xbmscript
Looks a lot cleaner now

sweet, I like the new page :-)

Glad to hear you like it! I think its way more appealing to the eye in combination with my new layout and color scheme

It would be great if someone could add support for Logitech's Harmony-Series inclusive optimized button layout (suspend with a single button, shortcut for "my movies/series", libraryupdate,... )

Hi Fireman, thanks for the commands. I used them and my 330 shuts down after hitting exit. But for now ic have the suspicion that my box is shutting down after a while not using it. It feels like the automatic shutdown which is offered by the energy saving options in os like windows. Any hints where to look at if there are any options relating to this?

Should 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

registered here today - what a luck, my nick was available I hope your work on that script will go on. I have several whishes to extend options. Should i post them here or do you like to receive them by mail/pm?

[kizer]

It would be under system > settings > system > power savings
Well it really depends on what skin you are using but that one is for the confidence or whatever the default one is called.

Do you mean its turning off or dimming the screen? If its dimming the screen look for screen saver.

My first XBMC was installed with a previous xbmscript, but as my system suddenly crashed i had to reinstalled. So, i reinstalled a fresh ubuntu and ran your ultimate script - this time things didnt work out...

My xbmc dosnt start, the screen just flickrs?
I'm only able to start the system in safe mode, otherwise it will hang...

I choose the same nvidia driver as i did 1 month ago, and every other setting.

Hope someone can help me out.

Did you selected the option "last SVN"? I've had this problem to, yesterday, selecting last SVN.
If so, try selecting the last stable (will install 9.11 beta 1 with confluence skin).
Anyway, if fails with the last stable, I know the "BAND-AID Fixed Script including LIBASS" (page 35 from this topic) still working!

Good luck.
