RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - Burke - 2012-12-28
Time for some feedback
Testing for some time now.
HW: MBO - Zotac h55 i, CPU - i3 550 with Intel HD 2000
Boot - fastest I ever had with my hw. XBMC is fast also.
Audio, Video all working 10+.
All in all - excellent job, thank you
Only small problem I encountered so far is that my flirc usb receivers is not working after resume until I plug it out and plug it to a different port.

Hello,
I tried the script with ATI Radeon X1650 Pro with no luck. XBMC GUI does not start and stops in "Checking battery status".
Any suggestions? Should I install the driver manually?

I finally got everything working. Now I have run into a new roadblock. How do I put new files onto/remove old files from slaved harddrive in this machine with the minimal install. I have 3 internal hard drive and 3 external.hard drives. The external ones are easy since I can just connect them to my windows laptop. Thanks for the help!
Also if someone could point me in the right direction to mount my other 3 internal hard drive it would be appreciated. The drive show up in bios but I cannot see them in XBMC. My external hard drives auto mount in xbmc.
XBMC also takes a long time to load (abt 2 minutes) and sets at a black screen the entire time.

I had to reboot machine today, and i began to experience a black screen on boot-up, so i figured I re-installed since i was not sure if the changes i had made were the cause.
after the re-installation, i was left at logon screen. has something changed elsewhere?
Redoing just in case i missed something.
Left at the console logon screen again on second install.

Update!!
Have disabled the IGD (Integrated Graphics Display) as follows:
In BIOS:
Enable PEG
Set Initiate to PEG/PCIEx4
IGD Multi Monitor disabled
Save BIOS and Reboot
Start system, got the console again. Hit Alt+F8, then reboot
System not starts automatically with XBMC screen.
Thanks all for your help

Hi guys,
anybody else using flirc?
I looked around internet to try and solve this but nothing I do changes anything.
(although with my knowledge of linux and english is like reading klingon).
I have just one problem, after resume my flirc is not present until i plug it to a different usb port. (it is not listed when I enter "lsusb").
It worked fine on openelec and XBMCbuntu 11 so I guess it has something to do with minimal 12.10.
Any chance this would work on older version of minimal (where I could use rc.local again)?
Or some other solution...
If you need more info just tell me what you need.
Thanks

i seem to have a problem.
when i boot it does not start XBMC and just says "checking battery status"
oddly if i SSH into the box and "sudo reboot" it starts XBMC
also "settings>exit>power of system" makes XBMC freeze.
specs: asrock a75m-itx, a8 3870k, 4gb, 128GB m4

I have an NFS server and since that term is too short to search on in this thread, hopefully this is not a duplicate tip.
I added the NFS client based on the information here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo#NFS_Client
sudo apt-get install rpcbind nfs-common
RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - ylafont - 2013-01-01
Quick question? Is there any way to be able to select what version of xbmc is installed? Or be able to dowgrade? Manny thing do work with frodo. Thanks.

@ylafont
You can downgrade to Eden by removing the Frodo repo and reinstalling XBMC. I did it and everything works correctly.
I believe the command is:
Code:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvbaYou can probably modify the install script to not add that repo but I cannot verify that works without any issues.

XBMC has NFS support for client already, this is a bit futile, especially since that points to use fstab mounted shares which in my experience the network is up after fstab is so you end up having to issue a mount command when the whole thing is ready.
Using XBMC internal NFS support is easier and as long as libnfs1 v1.3 is installed say from https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/unstable/+packages or v1.5 from https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-nfstest/+packages

If you want to downgrade, after purging that ppa you need to insert this one https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba-eden

Even if there is no source.list for Quantal?
Will the source entry for Precise do?
