First of all thanks to pete for this howto...
I followed the guide (for a point of view Mobii 330) except I used ubuntu karmic minimal install, followed by adding some basics so firefox can be run:
sudo aptitude install x-windows-system-core gnome-core gdm firefox synaptic xubuntu-system-tools gnome-app-install
(I know xbmc is still alpha for karmic but thats not the point at the moment)
Anyway, everything worked well except for the auto-logon
because there is no etc/event.d/tty1
So I created one, but that didn´t work out
the boot process ends up on a login in gnome for my user xbmc.
I can start xbmc manually then and everything looks fine.
My goals are:
- Boot directly to xbmc as fast as I can set it up (I know I am not at the point for optimizations yet.)
- Being able to launch some small games and firefox within xbmc with the launcher script
Back to the login, I found a tty1.conf in etc/init which contains the lines that should be replaced but it doesn´t help.
My linux knowledge is pretty basic so all I am doing is more or less trial and error.
Anyone who can push me the right direction?
thanks
