xbmc not seeing usb in linux - ginjim - 2011-10-19 Sorry i've been searching everywhere but can't seem to find a definate answer. i've just got my revo r3600 out of the woodwork. it is plain linux and i installed xbmc over a year ago and i have just managed to update it via sudo get update tutorial .so i guess i am now on the latest dharma. however i am wanting to install plugins. i tried putting all depositries on a USB stick to add via usb but the add on manager doesn't seem to recognise the stick. am i supposed to program the revo to allow usb? if so how do i do it? thx i am really a linux newbie and any help is most appreciated. - FishOil - 2011-10-19 ginjim Wrote:the add on manager doesn't seem to recognise the stick. Where did you look for the USB to come to that conclusion? - ginjim - 2011-10-19 FishOil Wrote:Where did you look for the USB to come to that conclusion?thank you for the swift reply it was system add ons install from zip file there doesnt seem to be a usb folder - FishOil - 2011-10-19 Ok one more time. Where did you look? Its like any other file manager. You have to navigate to the correct folder. So.....where did you look? Try to look in the /media folder Code: / You may or may not have to add the root folder as a source in the file manager. - ginjim - 2011-10-19 FishOil Wrote:Ok one more time. Where did you look?

What version and or type of linux. XBMC live would be my suggestion if its not already. - ginjim - 2011-10-20 FishOil Wrote:What does that mean? What version and or type of linux. i'm sure its ubuntu9.1 karmic the latest (i've just updated) and yes it is xbmc live install - FishOil - 2011-10-20 ginjim Wrote:i'm sure its ubuntu9.1 karmic the latest (i've just updated) Just to be clear. You downloaded the XBMC "Live CD" and installed it? and not Downloaded Ubuntu and installed XBMC. - ginjim - 2011-10-20 FishOil Wrote:Just to be clear.

Quote:1. Entered the linux command line by pressing Crtl+Alt+F3 from the XBMC Live main menu from here http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=520701&postcount=27 - ginjim - 2011-10-21 well i've tried that XBMC still can't see the usb stick can someone please please help many thanks - markjones99 - 2011-10-21 I'm getting a similiar problem. My acer revo refuses to acknowledge my SD card. Try SD card in pc - works no problem. Try SD card at boot - sees it is there. Try SD card when XBMC is running (open elec) and nothing at all. - ginjim - 2011-10-23 can someone please help with this please? do i need to do a pastebin? would that show the fault? ive searched everywhere and cant seem to find an answer really appreciate it |
