Just installed XBMC under Mythbuntu 9.04 - looks very sharp! The issue I have, and it's a really stupid noob one, is that I can't find my external HD to add content from it. I go to videos thenn add source then browse but can't see it anywhere.

Shows up fine in Thunar (as LaCie).

Anyone able to help a poor dumb noob?

do you run xbmc with --standalone or ontop of gnome or whatever windowmanager? have a look at your xbmc logfile first.

Just installed it so it would be whatever the default is. I start it from the menu, not from the terminal.

so on top a window manager. afaik xbmc can only handle HAL devices when run with --standalone.

I went into terminal, typed xbmc --standalone (is that right?) but it's still the same. I can't see the Lacie anywhere.

Once again. Please read the sticky about submitting a proper bug report. It basically comes down to enabling debug logging and pasting THE WHOLE debug log into pastebin and showing the url here.

OK, now that I know it's a bug, and not user error, I'll submit a bug report.

How come?

How come?

Sorry mate, I think we are talking at cross purposes.

Anyhow, I've solved it. I had to enter the path manually, which meant going into info on the shutdown menu to work out what the path is.

Now to figure out my HDMI sound problem... Surely can't be harder to fix than it was with Myth!

Thanks for your suggestions.
