Installed the new 12.1 release..
According to the instructions on the main xbmc.org page pointing here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM..._XBMCbuntu

Now xbmc does not start... the tv switches modes, then right back to the login page.

the crashlog has no detailed info:

Code:
33:15 T:3007788864 WARNING: VIDEO database configuration is experimental.

and the xbmc.log file is the same:

Is there a way to turn on the debug from the command line or a file I can edit to see what is actually going on?
Or has someone else already run into this, and has a fix could you let me know?

try: sudo apt-get upgrade

After looking at another thread... i saw some users were getting a blank screen - which is usually a video driver issue.

So they had recommended a sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get upgrade

after i did that.. i was not getting a black screen also...

so my steps were to:
sudo apt-get update
sudo atp-get xbmc xbmc.bin
sudo apt-get upgrade
stop lightdm
rerun sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-310.32.run (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-313.18.run seemed to cause me some problems)
startx

Did you follow the instructions exactly?

I assume the ppa you added was ppa:team-xbmc/ppa, but which ppa did you remove?

fnc1 · 2013-03-20, 19:56

there should really be no need with xbmbuntu they are already using the proper ppa
/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat xbmc.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu quantal main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu quantal main

Im trapped to the same situation after xbmcbuntu frodo 12.1 upgrade. Now i can only boot to lightdm login screen.
Entering user.pass xbmc:xbmc brings me back there.

I have also made a dist-upgrade.

if you use nvidia: check if the driver is (still) correctly installed.
