Hi all!
I'm relatively new to Linux/XBMCbuntu so I have a few (probably small) issues. I hope someone here can help me out here, I'm guessing a lot of people must having the same problem?
A month ago I bought myself an Acer Aspire, hooked it on my TV and I installed XBMCbuntu on it. Had a few troubles installing the Frodo RC3 but now it all works like a charm. Bought myself an MCE remote which worked perfectly out of the box. Never had a better media center untill now!
But there is an issue, when I try to power off XBMCbuntu, I see the screen going to the XBMC-logo and the dots moving from left to right. Then all of a sudden this screen freezes. The dots aren't moving and unless I hold my on/off button, XBMCbuntu won't shutdown. Strange thing is: reboot works perfect. I've been searching the web for a while now and I don't seem to find anything that works to fix this issue?
I do have to say, when trying to instal XBMCbuntu I only got a blank screen with a blinking underscore on the top-left corner when selecting 'install xbmcbuntu'. So I set ACPI=off before launching the installer which did the trick. After installing, however, XBMCbuntu wouldn't boot, I only saw a blank screen again. So I edited the GRUB config file (/etc/default/grub) and changed the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line by adding acpi=off at the end of the line. By that XBMCbuntu boots just fine. Because ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface) is set to off in the GRUB file, this might the reason why he wouldn't shut down.
Anyone has an idea what to do to fix this issue? I've tried to get a log file, but with the 'debug logging' option enabled in XBMC, it looks like it overwrites it's log file everytime when he boots, which makes it difficult to find what is exactly going wrong.
Thanks a lot in advance!
