First of all, thanks a lot for looking into this, fritsch! Much appreciated!
I have gone through your installation instructions word by word again and always used copy&paste in order not to introduce typos. I also reconfigured xserver-common again.
In the logs I gave you the wrong id, but I believe the xbmc user is configured correctly, too. Here it is:
uid=1001(xbmc) gid=1001(xbmc) Gruppen=1001(xbmc),20(dialout),24(cdrom),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users)
What I realized though is that the /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla file could not be written (despite sudo) due to lack of access rights. I did not realize that the file could not be written in my initial installaion. In fact, I can't even cd into the localauthority directory (as adm user walter). Could that be the problem?
The only other deviation from your instructions was that I installed the mini.iso and not the server.iso despite running an UEFI system (Intel NUC i5). I did that because Intel updated the BIOS firmware to address respective issues. I tried the mini and it worked (the SSD boots up without complaints) so I did not worry...
One more thing: I installed the system with an old monitor, connected via MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter. Since the upstart script waits for HDMI to become ready, I thought that might be the problem. But I have connected the NUC to my TV now. The HDMI Out of the NUC is connected to a HDMI switch, which is in turn connected to the TV, but again XBMC does not start up.
What do you think?
Many thanks again and best regards,
