Linux newbie here with XBMC Live installation questions
Trying to install alpha 2.
My system boots into a login prompt.
If I use xbmc/xbmc for the login/password “installXBMC” gives me a must be run from root error.
If I login using “root” with a blank password I get an incorrect login/password error.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanx for the help

The stable 9.04.1 build installed fine, but I had no sound over hdmi or optical (music and videos all play) so I thought I would jump to the latest version to see if it works.

su -

at the password prompt use the xbmc password. Then try installing again.
This worked for me.

My BR rips now play much better very little stuttering and a number of films that were not playing with earlier versions (from a nas) now play without issue.

However none of my DVD rips now play. These are ripped full DVD's, full folder structure not iso's.

Hardware is Atom 330, ION 2GB ram.

You want to login as xbmc/xbmc. Then you need to type "sudo installXBMC". I believe that whenever you precede a command with "sudo" you're telling Linux to execute the command as if you were the root. I am a Linux noob as well, so I may not be getting this exactly right.

Anyways, after typing "sudo installXBMC" it will ask you for the password. Type "xbmc".

I just reinstalled XBMC and decided to go almost bleedign edge so I installed this.

my issue is my remote will not work even with the old config files copied over.

I am using a MCE IR sensor and a Xbox260 mce remote.

looks like LIRC is not running but not to sure what to do about that.

root@XBMCLive:~# sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
* Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [fail]
* Loading LIRC modules [ OK ]
* Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC [fail]

anyone have any thought?

USB Thumb drives are no longer auto-mounted since i've updated.

n/m that was Alpha1

waschbaerbauch · 2009-11-15, 05:11

Upgraded from Alpha1 to Alpha2.

Settings -> Network -> SMB Client -> 'User' and 'Passwort' are not existend anymore!?

jmarshall · 2009-11-15, 05:34

Correct. If you need to specify a username and pass, it'll prompt you (and will remember it if you choose to do so)

Hi I don't no if anyone else had this issue I haven't tried to replicate it myself but when I installed to the hard disk /home/hts/ was not created. I had to copy the folder from the live cd and chmod (sudo chmod -R 777 /home/hts) and chown (sudo chown -R hts:hts /home/hts) to get tvheadend to work.

If I get time I'll try it again and file a bug report if I can replicate it.

Hi, I upgraded to the above mentioned release but the executable now exits with a core dump. Previous version worked like a charm. What happened during the upgreade ?

I am using ubuntu 9,10 on an Acer Aspire Revo 3600 which is equipped with an NVIDIA ION.

Annexed the core dump log

After upgrading to 9.11A2 from 9.04 I have experienced the following issues
No sound from menus after a few hours http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=61673
All python Scripts failing and/or running slowly until failing http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=61677

Having issues making a flash thumbdrive install. The LiveCD boots just fine to the GUI, but if I try the Install XBMC option, the script errors out with:

Code:
Checking device /dev/sr0 for installation source...

Error mounting device /dev/sr0 - Exiting

The same thing happens if I boot into the GUI and then drop out to a shell. The script starts and then fails on the same error. I checked mount and the CD is mounted on /dev/sr1, and I couldn't find an option when calling installXBMC to specify the source other than an iso file.

So, I tried booting into Ubuntu and installing to a thumbdrive that way, but the download doesn't include the installXBMC.py script. Is there anywhere I can download it?

Late last night I posted...

This turns out to be incorrect. DVD rips do play fine, some how my remote (WMC) key mappings seem to have screwed up. So selecting ">" (play) from the remote on a dvd image folder doesn't do anything. However they play as normal if I hit "p" on a keyboard or right click and select play.

How did you install it? Did you use the official live CD downloaded from the main page? If so, try burning at a slower rate.
