Xbmcbuntu rom collection browser solo mode not working? - xaviorffviii - 2012-06-08 Hi I just recently switched from xbmc on ubuntu 11.10 to xbmcbuntu eden, after a day of getting optical audio out I thought I was in the clear. But then I realized I couldn't use solo mode for my emulators, specifically mupen64 and pcsx/r. I read that a window manager was necessary for the old live versions, but shouldn't be for xbmcbuntu. All my parameters are the same, I knew this cause i copied my old rom collection browser addon file into the new addon file. I also coppied my old user data and had overwritten the new one for xbmc. Do you think that would stop solo mode? if anyone has any solutions, I've spent all day trying to get this working at a 100%. I really like xbmcbuntu, faster than before, and everything comes back perfect from hibernation! I'd hate to have to use a layered install again with a full ubuntu. I would use non solo mode, but the framerates at 30 that way with basic textures, and i get 60 on the buntu side with 2xsai enabled. Thanks in advanced. -David EDIT: Just reinstalled xbmcbuntu, only thing I installed was gedit,pcsx,pysdm,and rom collection browser(the service package of RCB apparently installs intself). Emulator works fine in buntu side, and runs fine without solomode. However when solo mode is selected, nothing happens except a flash of text in the lower left corner of the screen saying launching soandsogame. It seems RCB can't close xbmc, even though when I select a game to run in non-solo mode, it puts xbmc in a window because I have pcsx running in a window for testing(It does this at least on the xbmcbuntu side, don't know about the xbmc side). So it seems RCB can window xbmc, but not close it, which probably means it may not beable to open it after closing the emulator, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Xbmcbuntu eden isn't that new, can someone at least let me know if they have emulators working in solo mode on their xbmcbuntu machine? Is there a better place in the forum to move my question? Has this been solved and my hours of searching just never found it? Thanks again in advanced, -David EDIT: I came across this post (2012-05-17, 02:15)binarybomber Wrote: XBMCbuntu Users: I've opened up openbox, and ran xbmc in the openbox terminal with "xbmc". However solo mode still doesn't work. I did however notice, every time I tried to open a game in solo mode, this would appear in the terminal in openbox. Code: sh: /home/xbmc/.xbmc/addons/script.games.rom.collection.browser/applaunch.sh: Permission denied and this is what comes up when I run xbmc Code: xbmc@XBMC:~$ xbmc Ignore the ALSA error, I didn't configure my audio yet Thanks in advanced yet again, Help please! -David EDIT: Me again, I set permission to execute (chmod +x) for .xbmc/addons/script.games.rom.collection.browser/applaunch.sh. And solo mode works now in openbox, with openbox autostarting xbmc at startup. However I hear people get random restarts of xbmc with giving execute rights to that file. Time will tell, I'll update this post as I progress. If anyone has any knowledge of all this please reply, Thanks -David RE: Xbmcbuntu rom collection browser solo mode not working? - malte - 2012-06-09 xaviorffviii Wrote:However I hear people get random restarts of xbmc with giving execute rights to that file. Time will tell, I'll update this post as I progress.Never heard this before. As it is a file that is only shipped with RCB I wonder why nobody came to the RCB thread to ask about it. Yes, if any process executes this file, XBMC will be restarted. But this should not happen only because you change the rights of this file. It will only happen IF something executes it. RCB will only execute this file when you launch a game. But I guess this is not meant by random restarts . If you have a hint where I could find more about this problem I would be happy if you could share it.

I read it here, http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=70115&pid=859808 However after reading it again, I noticed I had read it wrong. It's not xbmc random restarts, it's xbmc restart issues. Which is also what I had after making it executable. Code: webserver failed to start I probably would've been able to fix it(I think), however after rebooting xbmc, it would get stuck at the xbmc boot screen. Which was probably cause by one of my startup scripts for sixad. Regardless I threw my towel in after that. Which is a shame cause I was really enjoying xbmcbuntu, and I think I could've fixed the remaining problems with enough time. Anyway, moving to ubuntu 10.10 for my xbmc machine, and saying hello to probable hibernate issues! EDIT: Looks like I'll have the privilege of fixing the webserver fails to start and remote server fails to initiate problems. It has followed me to Ubuntu 10.10. It's clear this is an Eden problem, since I was on the previous version without any of these errors. The Rom Collection Browser service addon is supposedly installed and active. This is my terminal readouts, perhaps it will be of use Code: xbmc@xbmc:~$ xbmc Ignore any sound related errors And the Bios error Malte is there a fix I just haven't seen yet? or should I roll back to the previous xbmc that worked for me? EDIT: Wow downgrading to Dharma looks to be a lot trickier than I thought, does anyone have a dharma deb package for ubuntu? Am I really the only one in this boat? Can anyone please help with either fixing the webserver problem or a deb package for dharma? EDIT Heres a snippet of my xbmc.log file No idea if it may help Code: 18:06:09 T:3019528000 INFO: initializing python engine. I have started a thread in the linux help area, and have a post in the RCB thread. I will no longer be posting in this thread.
