Nice, that about sums everything up. Youve been busy reading

So hows it working for you?

I'm not completely done, but so far so good.

1.)Steam initially didn't launch because a file from the 32-bit libraries ("libGL.so.1") was missing. I believe this is duo to the fact that I'm using onboard Intel HD 5000 graphics. The fix that worked for me (after I installed gedit, of course):

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/steam.conf

Add these two lines to the file:

Code:

/usr/lib32
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa

Then execute:

Code:

sudo ldconfig

2.)I enabled openbox by changing the file name that you mentioned and then executed the associated commands

Code:

echo "xsetroot -solid black &" >> $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart.sh && echo "/usr/bin/xbmc &" >> $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart.sh && chmod +x $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart.sh

But this doesn't make XBMC autostart in XBMCbuntu. Can't comment as to whether it changed my desktop color, because I just changed that manually. I also hid the taskbar or whatever it's called in LDXE.

3.)How to I grab the xpad from the SteamOS PPA? I added the PPA, but I'm not sure where to go from there. Do I need to remove the previous xpad drivers, too? Finally, should I be using xboxdrv instead? Seems like that's a lot of peoples' preference. XBMC certainly isn't picking up my controller at the moment (not that I care about it), but I hear that emulators prefer xboxdrv to xpad.

There's also a fix necessary to enable the built-in IR receiver on the NUC. I will post more about that later. [/code]
