+--- Thread: [LINUX] XBMC Setup Script - Automatic installation of XBMC for Linux (/showthread.php?tid=55282)
- Vanguard - 2009-12-22
@levster: I don't think there is a URL for the updated version. I sshed into my box, did "cat > xbmcinstaller.sh" and then copy-pasted the script in. Press CTRL-D to write the file and go back to your prompt.
@VirtualDanny.net: Thanks for the great work!
@BiptoN: You rock! (and see below)
For everyone else: It's mostly working on my Zotac board. Right now, if I try to exit xbmc, it just quits and restarts XBMC without rebooting. I'm guessing it has something to do with using startx in the script, which likes to restart itself for you.
Also, I'm interested in running Boxee on this machine as well, and perhaps a few other things. I saw some previous mention of a x.game script...has anyone got it to work? I'm having issues.
Thanks!

I'm trying to find the reason why it doesn't shutdown, it looks as if the XBMC stuff has been updated and may have broke somethin' around the devki-power devkit-disk stuff.

Try renaming your xbmc config dir (~/.xbmc to ~/.xbmc_old) and restart xbmc or reboot your machine. Also verify you have the nvidia vdpau package installed (aptitude search vdpau) lidvpau1 and nvidia-19x-libvdpau should have an "i" proceeding them if they are installed.

Someone can explain how can I use launcher to configure firefox for example? I can't access to /usr/share from launcher menu...
thanks

I use a script that runs a new x11 session and have it close and return to XBMC when it's finished. You can probably do a simple python script that will call upfirefox, although I'm not sure how that will play out with xbmc runnin' , somethin like....
Code:
import subprocess
subprocess.call("/usr/bin/firefox", shell=True)name it firefox.py or somethin and put it in one of your browseable paths. I have a "bin" folder in my home, makes it a little easier to keep track.

It's necessary to use that to all programs? there isn't any way to acces from launcher configuration to /usr/share/application ??

After investing 20-30 hours fooling around with the XBMC Live standard and not so standard install techniques, I found this thread. Followed the directions in the first post, ran the little script from the next post to add MCE remote support and unbelievably my Revo works perfectly. Something none of the other installs could accomplish.
Way to go and thanks a lot!!!

first off let me say that you rule cyberpark, you have made my life so much easier with your script(i could never figure out how to get it to start up automatically with a full install and it was driving me nuts).
I have however had problems trying to get the launcher plugin to work with this install. I get things running fine, but when i restart the computer it gets to the XBMC splash(the one right before the actual program), it freezes up and sends me to the command line. From there I cant get back into XBMC without re-installing.
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem or not, so I figured I'd ask
I'm running bare minimum ubuntu(no GUI) and then which ever release of xbmc this script installs
Any help is much appreciated

Is it better to use
the script in the original post.
or this script by biptn:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=459806&postcount=176
and when it says
"Install Minimal Ubuntu"
Do I do:
Install miminal Ubuntu (I have done this).
Initial system configuration
Quote:Initial system configuration
If Ubuntu 9.10 or higher is installed run the following commands:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
then import the TeamXBMC key:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 91E7EE5E 318C7509
Finally, no matter what version of Ubuntu you are running, do:
sudo apt-get update
and then use biptn or cyberpark's script ?

From a Linux Noob
How can I use
This script ... http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=459806&postcount=176
and not the original ...
wget http://www.virtualdanny.net/downloads/setupXBMC.sh
is there a wget command for biptn's latest script ?
- osirisjem - 2010-01-04
Seems like this project has more features ?
Samba/FTP etc ?

Use biptn's script, he has created an updated version of the original script, which seems to be no longer maintained.

Yup, do a minimal system install as per the wiki, installing the Ubuntu Base system, then use biptn's script, once you have logged in to your system. Upload the script via wget or ssh.

Dont do:
"Initial system configuration

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Manually, as the script does all this for you.
