Has anybody had any luck running XBMC on Arch on the ASUS Chromebox?
I managed to install a basic version of Arch Linux on it, configured my external hard drive, samba shares. However, I'm having a hard time getting XMBC to run.
I installed the xbmc package, xorg-xinit to make auto start work and then by trial and error ended up installing xorg-server and a few other dependencies while trying to make it start with systemctl start xbmc; even if I'm not a 100% sure that I needed (I'm coming from a raspberrypi/xbmc configuration).
Running systemctl status xbmc (after trying to start it up) leaves me with:
Since I couldn't get any more detail, I tried running the ExecStart line manually and I did find something interesting; I know that it is trying something at least, and the issue is related with the GPU driver.
Any leads from here?
