I cant start xbmc anymore. :-( I thought it was a skin corruption, but it doesnt seem to be the case. If it aint broke...dont touch it.

Try and delete your /home/your_username/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml.
After that try to start xbmc again.

must be something with the new SVN.
Downgraded xbmc and all is working again.

Thanks.

Hey there,

Sorry to bump this thread, but this seems like an appropreate context in which to ask this.

For some reason I've decided to have the SVN versions of the repositories added in my sources.list, and the latest upgrade caused my installation to occationally crash (maybe one in ten times), whenever I start playing something.

What is the correct way to downgrade?
As simple as:
1) apt-get remove xbmc
2) remove the svn-repos from sources.list
3) apt-get install xbmc

Setup is Ubuntu Hardy (minimal) on an ASRock ION 330

Or is there more to it than this? Should I remove ALL the packages that depends on xbmc, and in that case, can I get a list of those somewhere?

I know the last question is out of context, but I hope it's ok.

1.-CHECK your /var/cache/apt folder if you have the packages then you dont need to download them. If you do not... then run the command below. (Replace svn# to the version you want)

wget https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-sv...1_i386.deb
wget https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-sv...1_i386.deb
wget https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-sv...1_i386.deb
wget https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-sv...1_i386.deb

Then run command to downgrade.

dpkg -i xbmc_9.04.3+svn23588-jaunty1_i386.deb xbmc-common_9.04.3+svn23588-jaunty1_i386.deb xbmc-skin-pm3-hd_9.04.3+svn23588-jaunty1_i386.deb xbmc-web-pm3_9.04.3+svn23588-jaunty1_i386.deb

For what it's worth, your issue seems to be due to your /etc/nsswitch.conf.

Do you have "WINS" in there at all? If so, try removing it and see if things work with newer build.

[unkuser]

Yes. I have WINS in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

I am just baffled at how you determined it was WINS. I am not at home, but will give it a try tonight and what changed in the SVN to break WINS?

Thanks.

Just search your log for terminated or segmentation

[tslayer]

There have been other known issues (reported for linux in general) relating to wins. Search for firefox wins crash and you will see.

Though, the crash is different than what you reported. At this point, it's just an educated guess that wins is causing your issue.
