I have burn to USB disk. It run okay on nvidia and intel ( have 3D opengl).
But on ATI HD4xxx, It can not run xbmc. The glxinfo inform software rendering only. And I see amd.ext3 only 14MB.

Hi,

I'm running on the generic V4 Version. Which SVN Version is the V14 based on? Is the TVheadend support now included?

9.11 (not svn).

TVheadend is not included (will be in 10.xx)

I've messed around for hours trying to install to a hard drive. IMHO, it's much better to simply run XBMCFreak from your usb drive (mine is a 4GB Kingston Data Traveler I got from MicroCenter for $8). Why format your boot hard drive each time you want to upgrade to the latest xbmc or have to ftp in to modify files when you can just plug the usb drive into your computer and manually edit?

After you install the .iso to your usb drive with unetbootin, you'll have a file in the root called "syslinux.cfg" which you can open with your favorite text editor. Mine looks like this:
Code:
default [b]ubnentry0[/b]
prompt 0
menu title UNetbootin
timeout 0

label unetbootindefault
menu label Default
kernel /ubnkern
append initrd=/ubninit boot=live vga=788 xbmc=autostart,tempfs,setvolume splash quiet loglevel=0 module=nvidia persistent quickreboot quickusbmodules skipconfig union=aufs

label [b]ubnentry0[/b]
menu label XBMCLive - NVIDIA GPU
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live vga=788 xbmc=autostart,tempfs,setvolume splash quiet loglevel=0 module=nvidia persistent quickreboot quickusbmodules skipconfig union=aufs

label ubnentry1
menu label XBMCLive - NVIDIA GPU, SAFE MODE
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live vga=788 xbmc=tempfs,setvolume quiet loglevel=0 module=nvidia persistent quickreboot quickusbmodules skipconfig union=aufs

label ubnentry2
menu label Install XBMCLive to disk
kernel /install/vmlinuz
append initrd=/install/initrd.gz vga=normal quiet preseed/file=/cdrom/install/preseed.cfg cdrom-detect/try-usb=true priority=critical --

label ubnentry3
menu label Memory test (memtest86+)
kernel /live/memtest
append initrd=/ubninit

If you are using an Nvidia GPU, you could use the same settings I have.
  • In the first line I set "default" to ubnentry0, which boots to the NVIDIA GPU option.
  • Setting "timeout" to 0 means it launches xbmc without delaying at the unetbootin bootup screen.
  • Deleting "nodiskmount" where ever it appears ensures that all 3 of the local hard drives in my htpc will be mounted and visible to xbmc.
  • Leaving the "persistent" option there means that any changes that I make to xbmc will be saved, rather than deleting changes each time I reboot.

I hope others find this helpful since it really is working beautifully for me.

does this command still work?

How to upgrade from a previous version:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus lm-sensors transmission-cli transmission-daemon transmission-common wireless-tools wpasupplicant libid3tag0 mt-daapd apache2 python-software-properties
sudo wget http://xbmcfreak.smetana.nl/upgrade-package-v11.tar.gz
sudo tar zxvf upgrade-package-v10.tar.gz --directory=/

i guess you would have to change the paths. that was taken from the second post in this thread.


did you get this to work


- ext23 - 2010-04-22

i haven't tried, as those paths point to older versions of the live cd, and i didn't want to run the risk of fux0ring my setup if something does go wrong.


- erhnam - 2010-04-22

Upgrade is not provided since kernel version has been changed.

kkelly Wrote:Hi erhnam

The new version asked for the cd-rom also do you want me to post the debug logs ? (will be tomorrow night bed time now) Smile

Thanks Kevin.

Yes please!


- luger - 2010-04-22

Thanks so much for doing this. I'm new to XBMC and this provides a noticeable difference on my Acer Aspire Revo 1600.

For flgrx (10.x drivers) we'll need kernel 2.6.30. Will be fixed with Lucid I presume..

ahh ok, got it.

so what's the most painless way to upgrade (i mean without losing all the great drivers and other things you have bundled into this build)?

when XBMC 10 is released, what do we need to do then?

Just installed this and all works well - only one issue I found is that the asound.conf file defaults to hdmi, which is fine for most, but as I use optical out meant I had no sound. CHanged it iec958 and all works fine

I didn't have this issue on v12.

That's correct. The only way to get the menu sound working was to set to hdmi.

Odd, I have set it to iec958 and have menu sounds working fine, via the spdif out

I connected a Blu Ray drive but won't play a Blu Ray Disc. It'll play a regular DVD fine, but when I put in a Blu Ray...nothing happens. Is there a setting that I need to fiddle with? My understanding is that the Blu Ray script is already build into this version. (v14)
