This is the same problem I have. Checked all settings in xbmc as described. Must be something to do with the hdmi output

**flxfxp** · 2009-10-09, 10:02

If you use HDMI you should use "hdmi" as output and throughput device.
Be sure to read the included instructions. By the way, it should not be the same problem, G500 says he's using optical, not hdmi.

G500 · 2009-10-09, 10:18

yes i havetryed Settings -> System -> Audio hardware? Is it on Digital? and turn downmixing to stereo off but still can not play any music only some films have sound its a strange one Shocked

**flxfxp** · 2009-10-09, 10:44

Please make a thread in the help forum in that case. I wouldn't know what the problem is, maybe the people over there have an idea.

flxfxp Wrote:Reinstall, possibly the installation went wrong.
1. boot ubuntu minimal cd
2. set up your partitions
3. set "Basic Ubuntu Server" as installation option (choose OpenSSH Server also if you like to have a remote connection.)
4. set username: xbmc
5. set pass: anything you like
6. reboot
7. login with credentials
8. use the following command: wget http://flx.me/script; chmod +x xbmscript.sh
9. execute xbmscript with: sudo ./xbmscript.sh
10. install xbmc stable, press CTRL+ALT+F1 to return to the script
11. install xbmc svn
12. install ps3 remote software, reboot by typing "reboot" at xbmscript main menu
13. after reboot, press CTRL+ALT+F1 for a shell
14. execute xbmscript with: sudo ./xbmscript.sh
15. Add the remote, reboot

Sorry for completely breaking it down, but this is the exact installation procedure I use to get the latest xbmc with the remote working. This might also help some of the newbies on installation.

hi flxfxp,

need some help, did the above got to point 10. but XBMC never starts. here my error log, i must mention i am trying to install on a MacPro with 2 HDD's primary HD clean hdd with a master boot record partition map. (created through linux install).

i can get linux full install work with no problems but if i try to run your script it breaks the install. (GUI no longer loads). thats why i tried the above
procedure, it seems to be trying to change the partitions using FDISK ?? but it not compatible with GPT (i assume MAC hd partition scheme)

any ideas ?.

Andy.

**flxfxp** · 2009-10-09, 15:21

Hi Andy,
So just for the record: linux installs fine, but after you've run the script it bugs out? Have you installed openssh so you can remotely log in? Does it show the xbmc usplash boot logo before crashing? could you also post the xsession log? Did you choose any graphical desktop at installation?

harryzimm Wrote:Hi and welcome to the forum.

First, run the script again and install the latest svn ppa build. Second, make sure you have vdpau set as render method in settings/videos/player. Then set audio in settings, system, audio hardware, output device to hdmi

cheers

i've installed the latest svn build and set the video render to vdpau and its playing smoothly now Big Grin

i've also used option3 to set the hdmi audio.

only problem is when i go into "configure audio hardware" it only lets me scroll through the "options" in the right side column, it won't let me tab down through the left column as in the other menu's.

so i can't set it to hdmi, any ideas??

flxfxp Wrote:I changed the script to 1024x768. Should be fixed for now.
For people that have this problem:

1. update XBMScript
2. At the menu, type "logofix"
3. Done!

first of all - thanks Dennis - everything is working Smile

the only issue i have is the half logo thing and running logofix did not solve it

hi,

thanks for the response, yes linux installed fine. did not see any logo aftert script run, but did see it at shutdown. no did not choose any gui desktop.

since this i have chose to reinstall the complete ubuntu again, and update everything installed xbmc manually, and got sound working etc. so all need now is help with PS3 remote install and how to get XBMC to start at logon.

**flxfxp** · 2009-10-09, 16:41

If you're running as the user called "xbmc", you can apt-get install xbmc-live, which will add a service that starts xbmc automatically on startup.
Otherwise, add the xbmc binary to /etc/rc.local, which will also make it load on startup.

To install the ps3 remote software, paste the following in a script and execute it with sudo:

Code:
apt-get install libnl1 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 libgstreamer0.10-0 -y

            cd $mypwd

            wget http://flx.me/script/bluez-patched_4.54-1_i386.deb

            dpkg -i bluez-patched_4.54-1_i386.deb

            rm bluez-patched_4.54-1_i386.deb

            wget http://flx.me/script/ps3_pair.tar.gz

             tar -xzvf ps3_pair.tar.gz

            rm ps3_pair.tar.gz

             echo modprobe uinput > /etc/rc.local

            echo /usr/local/sbin/bluetoothd >> /etc/rc.local

            echo "exit 0" >> /etc/rc.local

            echo "  <keyboard>" >> /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/Keymap.xml

            echo "        <f1>XBMC.ActivateWindow(osdaudiosettings)</f1>" >> /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/Keymap.xml

Are you using a keyboard? Try it with that. If it doesnt work, try the newbie section.

did that but it still does not control xbmc. if i try to re add it, it says it's already in list

**flxfxp** · 2009-10-09, 17:08

Did you reboot? check to make sure the keys are coming through correctly. kill the bluetooth deamon by doing "sudo killall bluetoothd" and start it manually with debug by doing "sudo bluetoothd -nd"

Let me know of the results.
