Ouch, we got a specific post on Lifehacker !

The article contains some small errors here and there - e.g. ATI cards are not supported right now, references to an old blog post for V1 were referred to the new V2; nonetheless quite a nice hit.

You deserve a lot of kudos for this project. I tried it out the other day and was extremely impressed. If I can figure out how to get my Antec IR and VFD working, I'll be tickled pink.

One question, is there any way to use the programs section to run a browser window? It would come in handy while troubleshooting XBMC (I used a laptop while typing away on the HTPC command line).


- davilla - 2008-06-06

The best way to debug is using an ssh session, username=xbmc, password=password.

Adding a bowser would significantly add to the install size and we are trying to keep that low.

You should also be able to cnt-alt F2 into a terminal window but I find an ssh session less intrusive.

Wow. I'm stunned by this. Worked perfectly first time I tried it. Thumbs up to developer!

I got a few questions tho. I can't seem to ssh to the LiveXBMC pc. Is ssh not installed?
And how about updates? Is it possible to update it over internet or do we have to update the memory stick manually?

it is not; open a terminal and use apt-get for that

XBMC updates are not available per se with this V2. Guess what will come with V3... Big Grin

Trying to debug my mine is not working.

Thanks

Where would i find this file in the img and how would i go about inserting the modified one? Just use Winimg?


- davilla - 2008-06-08

see http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloader/wiki/InstallLiveXBMC for a working MS USB mce remote info.

install ssh and use scp to copy it into place. Don't know anything about Winimg, I use Linux and OSX.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes.


Final config options - dusty_nz - 2008-06-08

Got the remote configured but it doesn't seem to autostart on reboot. How do I set that.

Also I am having problems with my sony TV. It can run 1280x768 however the liveXBMC only allows 1024x768. How do change this. Also any good locations on configuring xorg.conf?


actually - dusty_nz - 2008-06-08

got the video working.
Sounds needs boosting. Is there aq volume file anyware.

Also still no luck on the lirc. I am editing the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file and no luck. Please find below

Use alsamixer (or some gui mixer) to get your levels set.


Still got remote issues - dusty_nz - 2008-06-09

Thanks for the alsa mixer tip. How do I run it? From within XBMC?

Also still have Remote issues. Running a Dvico remote and working with the command line
/usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/usb/hiddev0 --driver=dvico -n
and irw can pick up remote signals.

however can't seem to get the hardware.conf to work.

get the following error
/etc/init.d/lirc restart -verbose
* Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [fail]
* Loading LIRC modules [ OK ]
* Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
* selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

Dell Latitude D630 - kazbear - 2008-06-09

Works fine on my Dell D630 after renaming the restricted drivers file. Great job on this.

I was unable to change the time though.After making the adjustments, nothing changes.

And I assume Wifi is not yet implemented?


- althekiller - 2008-06-09

You can't set the time because you aren't root (and you should never run XBMC as root). Set the correct TZ in ubuntu and all should be well.

i have 8gb sdhc class 6 card for my asus eee pc, is there any port for live usb v2 to be installed in sdhc instead of usb flashdrives?
