I think will be quicker to give the liveCD one more go.
Do you know how to connect to xbmc from another computer? Most guides assume that you are connected with ssh.
If your other computer has windows you need a program called putty.exe. Find it and download it. Input the ip number to the xbmc and you will be connected.
If you feel that this is too advanced maybe you should move to the desktop. The trouble is that you still need to update the NVIDIA drivers to get VDPAU. It is still a bit tricky to get VDPAU going I am afraid.

in putty do:
1) Add source
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/jaunty-ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Save file by CTRL-O - Enter
exit by CTRL-X
2) Add key
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9317790E
3) Update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
This is not the SVN, the current SVN does not work with VDPAU. I am sure it will soon be replaced with a working one.

Ok, I have done some more testing.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/jaunty-ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Should contain the same version that you already have in live and it is working on Asrock
Are you sure that you have correcly upgraded the NVIDIA and set up VDPAU?
Anyway, there is now a new SVN that does work.
SVN:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 64234534
You should give that a try. If not working the problem is something else.

Help required here for a newby. I have followed both instructions for installing the nvidia gfx driver on my new asrock ion 300 nettop but as soon as my machine restarts, my monitor goes blank. I can ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal window but going back to what would be the gnome window, the monitor goes off. The only way for me to overcome this is to go into recovery mode at boot and use xfix to repair video problems and then resume. Going into the Nvidia X Server Settings gives me a message about "you do not appear to be using the nvidia X driver, please edit x configuration using nvidia-xconfig. I do this as root, restart the PC and I am back to a blank monitor!
I am going to try a fresh install as I am going mad here!!
- vikjon0 - 2009-07-21 09:35
Did you do this?:
Quote:4) Install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic nvidia-glx-185
5) Config
sudo nvidia-xconfig -s --no-logo --force-generate
Try to do 5) again after ctrl-alt-f1
In recovery mode you are not using the NVIDIA driver.

Ok, tried that. Both from within GNOME and a restart which resulted in the blank monitor or "mode not supported" on the OSD and then via the ctrl+alt+f1 but again blank monitor. I am connecting via HDMI if that makes any difference?!
I have tried both the file download from Nvidia and the repository option.

Quote:I have tried both the file download from Nvidia and the repository option.
I was going to suggest the download. Did the NVIDIA installation program run normally and did not give any errors?
I really do not know what else to suggest. You could try to connect a standard computer screen with the VGA cable in case you use the TV now.
The only problem I have had is that I had to run the installation twice. You probably have to check the ubuntu or nvidia forum for more information,

I am connecting with HDMI, but we do not have the same TV and the TV is the only difference. Try VGA cable and standard computer screen to start with.
