Eden beta1 - black login screen on startup - stokedfish - 2012-01-02 Hi everyone and happy 2012! I've just upgraded XBMC Live and added: Quote:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu lucid main Then I did a: Quote:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Now, when I boot up my media box, all I see is this screen: I can login, but I'd like XBMC to start automagically when powering up my machine. When I type 'startx' XBMC boots up just fine. So how can I fix that? Thanks for your help. Much appreciated! - erhnam - 2012-01-02 You might try the following: Code: sudo apt-get purge uxlaunch Code: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf Copy paste the contents from below, quit and save with control-x Code: [SeatDefaults] Make sure the following file exists, if not create with the following contents: Code: sudo nano /usr/share/xsessions/XBMC.desktop Code: [Desktop Entry] Reboot and let me know - stokedfish - 2012-01-02 Thanks for your answer erhnam Wrote:You might try the following: Code: fish@XBMCLive:~$ sudo apt-get purge uxlaunch Hmm... doesn't seem to work. Missing sources? Also, I just noticed that XBMC crashes when trying to play a music album. Audio in movies works fine. Never had such problems before and all I did was upgrading to the beta. Yes, it's a beta, I know I know... not complaining here - stokedfish - 2012-01-04 I'm still hoping for someone to help me. Does anyone know a solution to my problem? I scanned other threads in the forum and used search but have not found anything helpful so far. - _Mitch_ - 2012-01-04 You might try the following: sudo aptitude install libmad0 - stokedfish - 2012-01-04 _Mitch_ Wrote:You might try the following: hey! cool stuff! that fixed the problem with not being able to play any music at all and also the x server crash when trying to play audio... it doesn't happen anymore. I did a nightly upgrade as well though, so not 100% sure what exactly fixed the issue. anyway, it's gone. thanks!! the other problem is still here: my asrock box does not boot into xbmc automagically anymore :confused2: when I type 'startx' xbmc starts without issues... anyone? help is much appreciated! - 1981suede - 2012-01-05 Sounds like a problem with your xorg.conf file. Could try to regenerate using the below: sudo nvidia-xconfig -s --no-logo --force-generate --output-xconfig=/etc/X11/xorg.conf - stokedfish - 2012-01-05 1981suede Wrote:Sounds like a problem with your xorg.conf file. Could try to regenerate using the below: thank you. just tried that. had to do a 'sudo apt-get install pkg-config' first. the problem still exists though: my box does not auto-boot into xbmc anymore. any other possible solutions maybe? - JaccoH - 2012-01-05 Just install uxlaunch. Lightdm is only for the latest ubuntu. The xbmc-live package will setup uxlaunch for you. So this should work: Code: apt-get install uxlaunch Your /etc/uxlaunch/uxlaunch should have something like: Code: user=xbmc I overlooked the xbmclive distro thing there. Im not sure if it uses uxlaunch or lightdm. - adriankoooo - 2012-01-06 Hi! Forget all tips before... Here is what you need: http://shadower16.wordpress.com/2011/10/06/update-xbmc-live-to-pre-eden-nightlies/ In short: xbmc-live is not compatible with Eden. You don't need it. You should create a sudo nano /etc/init/xbmc.conf file. More info in the blog post. - musv - 2012-01-06 I use that way. It should be working in Ubuntu as well: http://dev.gentoo.org/~cardoe/mythtv/autostart.html http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=38473 /etc/inittab: Code: c8:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin xbmc tty8 /home/xbmc/.bashrc Code: startx /home/xbmc/.xinitrc Code: #!/bin/sh - adriankoooo - 2012-01-06 musv Wrote:I use that way. It should be working in Ubuntu as well: Why he would choose this copmplicated way, if it is there a simplier semi-official solution which 100% is working. - JaccoH - 2012-01-06 Lol there is a lot of ways.. uxlaunch wasnt a wrong suggestion for 10.10 either.. - musv - 2012-01-09 adriankoooo Wrote:Why he would choose this copmplicated way, if it is there a simplier semi-official solution which 100% is working.I don't see a "complicated way" in these 3 lines. It's simple, easy, without any overhead. Another advantage: XBMC (PVR Eden) crashes from time to time. With the described way it restarts automatically. - adriankoooo - 2012-01-09 musv Wrote:Another advantage: Mine too. |
