Any chance that you will compile the packages with the --enable-halmount so that it will automount my SD card Smile

It also has issues for people running as an app on gnome because it will unmount stuff when xbmc shuts down and is more designed for people with no desktop

So, is there any way to make that a User Configurable option?

(I'm running an XBMC only system without gnome or kde)

Compile yourself. There is no way to make this an option short of two completely separate builds.

How does one revert to the last PPA build? Is that possible? Stupid Question?

I think you can't , unless you have the deb packages cached in /var/cache/apt/archives/

If so, you will need to uninstall your current version and put those local packages.
There can't be 2 differents version on the same PPA


install trouble in Hardy - sjhotz - 2008-06-22 19:56

I am having issues with installing XBMC on a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04. I add the software sources from the PPA links, and the Package Manager keeps telling me that XBMC wont install due to "unresolvable dependencies" XBMC, XBMC-common, and XBMC-skins-default dont seem to match up and wont install together. I tried following the readme and when i get to the "sva up" it tells I am at revision 13682. When i do "make clean" it tells me "make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop." and attempting to get the necessary dependencies fails as well. Crap im lost! Please help!Sad

Now that there is an option to enable/disable automount from advancedsettings.xml

Click for Reference

Is the --enable-halmount a part of the PPAs?

The readme is for the SVN install of XBMC. You don't need to do any of that if you are going to do the PPA install. Try this:

Code:
apt-get update

then try this:

Code:
apt-get upgrade

I just did that on my box and everything worked just fine. See if it works for you.

BTW, currently the SVN PPA build is failing for every distro but Hardy i386. we are working on it.
