Hello.
I've attempted to post this to stmlabs.com/forum/ to no avail. Something wrong over there?
At any rate… as an original Apple TV owner, I've been following Crystalbuntu's progress for quite awhile. After many delays, today I've managed to create a working USB stick and get things up and running. Exciting.
However, I'm having difficulty networking as a result of Apple no longer supporting SMB in Lion as it seems. So I've decided to move onto NFS. And now I'm having a problem getting XBMC to recognize my USB drive connected to my tower upstairs. (an aging Mac Pro)
I've tried to follow directions given here. And directions given here.
This first link got me as far as installing nfs-common, but I ran into permission problems when trying to edit the fstab file as suggested.
The second link seemed to be going well until I got to the "Download most recent XBMC nightly" part, which seems to incorporate an NFS client into the latest version of XBMC. I'm not sure how this is done with Crystalbuntu. Can I grab the latest nightly? How? Is it suggested? Running NFS Manager seems to have gone well, as test results were positive, but I can't get any further.
Can someone help me out here? I'm too many hours into this to comfortably admit, been forwarding calls to VM, and am about to go on full nerd rage. You know where I'm coming from, yes?
