yep basically exactly what ive been getting really frustrating

may try it again this morning

how often is the live iso updated ?

[lloydsmart]

Have got the same problem. Booting off CD of XBMC Live 10.1.

System specs:
Nvidia GT430
ASUS M3N-SLI Deluxe (nv 8300 chipset)
HDMI out connected to Onkyo 705, connected to Panasonic TX-P50VT20
AMD Phenom II X4
4GB DDR2

Any solution would be greatly appreciated. I'm hesitant to install XBMC Live to a HDD until it boots properly from CD.

Sooo, i got mad and gave up, I got an other card!


I got the Nvidia EVGA 8400 GS, worked right off the bat with the live CD.


So the gt520 are too new and the drivers are not 100% yet, but I know some one will fix it.


Thanks every body for your postes

Try reinstalling:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbmc xbmc-live xinit x11-xserver-utils

I have just had the same problem - I was trying to clone my XBMC Live HDD with Clonezilla (failed so far, but that's another story), and when I rebooted afterwards, got stuck at the login prompt.

BUT - hudo's suggestion got everything back to where it should be (thanks!) - now to find how to clone the disk without this happening again

now to find how to clone the disk without this happening again

By paying attention to what disk is target vs source? I do not think there is any other possibility to screw that one up? But that is a good way...probably why you are promted twice before the cloning is started.
