Doesnt work for me on KK 9.10

sudo -s
Download script, rename to something like setup.sh
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

error "invalid option"

I was really looking fwd to a full Ubuntu behind XBMC for when I want to quite XBMC and use Firefox or do something else on a big TV!

Hope its a quick fix!

Ok, currently I'm running the xbmscript.sh for januty.

Now this new script is supposed to support the newer release, but does it still support the jaunty release?

I'm currently running on a jaunty release with the first option in the script and by using this new script will it allow to update via option 2 or does it need to be installed again to enable the key servers?

erm Ill take a shot in the dark and say if you have the alpha2 installed all you need is to aptitude update and then aptitude full-upgrade. or apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade... thats all for now beta1 and yes its jaunty... I wouldnt rely 100% on scripts specially IF you dont understand what they do or how they work...

- biptn - 2009-11-26

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xbmc

either one should update your currently installed xbmc to the latest.

I added support for the script to identify what version of ubuntu and add the correct repositories, it's set for 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10. I personally have only tested it on 9.10, it should work fine for jaunty though, I didn't change very much of the script to break that.

I used the updated script and it worked great! Big thanks for the effort put into it Smile

Now a question. I kind of miss having the chance to use Spotify on my HTPC, doen anyone know how or if it even is possible to do this? I see openbox is used so I assume it is possible, but after some research I cant figure how.

The script looks like it is written to install nvidia-glx-185 but it installs nvidia-glx-190 and uses 190 instead. Is there a different source or setting to get this to use only 185? It seems 190 doesn't multichannel audio over hdmi.

That's because it seems like the 185 packages used by the nvidia-ppa are actually "Transitional packages to 190" (as their description in the PPA states).
That probably means they are actually 190..

You can install the 185 manually from another ppa: http://www.avenard.org/media/Ubuntu_Repository/Ubuntu_Repository.html - he maintains a PPA that includes many nvidia driver versions.

Fab updated script, just installed Minimal Karmic and then used your script.

Installed without a hitch - now I just need to find out how to use alsamixer...

- kizer - 2009-11-30

sudo alsamixer

You can hit F1 I belive to get into the help menu.

Oh, its more working out which IEC958 refers to SPDIF out, and whether it is best to unmute all of them, or just the one I need (SPDIF).

Cheers though Wink
