Hi teeedub,
I've set up xbmc and ubuntu minimal following this guide: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=174854
I've installed openbox and wmctrl and made steam-launch.sh executable from within the addon-setings. I then followed your instructions here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1584693
When I run the addon I get a "working" popup for a bit, then it disappears and nothing further happens. XBMC isn't even getting killed (the add-on setting says always kill XBMC).
I can start steam by ssh from within XBMC using:
Although it gets stuck on selecting a network (I think this is simply because I haven't yet installed a network manager, wireless is working from the initial installation setup).
Has anything changed in the addon-on to make your suggested scripts not work?
The other possible cause of the issue is that I can't for the life of me work out how to start openbox. Because of that openbox has never run and I'm guessing there might be some initialisation that needs to take place before your scripts can work. I assume I have to kill XBMC and then start openbox but everything I've tried fails. Most guides are to start openbox at startup (which I don't really want, although will resort to if all else fails).
Any ideas?
Cheers
