Good Evening!

Yesterday, I finally achieved to install and run xbmc under Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS and was able to watch a video over it just perfectly. After that, I've been shutting down xbmc normally.

Today, as I tryed to start my htpc, xbmc wasnt starting anymore. All I get is a Linux 12.04 starting screen, and then, a white, little _ (underline) is blinking in the top left corner of the screen. And thats all ... XBMC isnt starting anymore.

I have no clue where I have to start my error-searching. Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be and where to start error-detection?

Below I have attached the crashlog.

Would be very thankful for any advice!

Kind regards,
Stew

sudo apt-get install gdb

retry and post the new log.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

seems your DNS resolution is broken. Is anything "internet" working?

How can I check that without graphical desktop?

just ping www.nasa.com or something? If DNS is broken, that wouldnt work either right?

Do a

ping 8.8.8.8

to see if your box is connected to The Internet. If that does not work, your network set-up is broken. Do a

ipconfig

and try to make sense out of the output. Network interfaces listed? Default gateway set? Can you ping the gateway? If not => hardware.

If yes, or pinging 8.8.8.8 worked, check /etc/resolv.conf.
