you will need to install an ubuntu afp client first

Sam.Nazarko Wrote:So unmount it:

sudo umount /dev/sdb1
fsck.hfsplus /dev/sdb1
mkdir tmpmnt
sudo mount -t hfsplus -o /dev/sdb1 /home/xbmc/tmpmnt
sudo nano tmpmnt/com.apple.boot.plist
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
rm -rf tmpmnt

Then reboot to remount it at /media/Recovery. Generally running fsck.hfsplus fixes read-only FS issues

Thanks Sam.

Indeed, fsck.hfsplus was what I needed.

FWIW, I couldn't mount with -o as you show above, I just snipped that argument out and it worked.

Now I can boot off of the hard drive, dig in.

Thanks!

It's very similar to Sam's except that it's based on a minimal install (no ubuntu desktop) and it uses the xbmc-live package to handle the xbmc autostart stuff (it also restarts xbmc automatically if it crashes).

This is great stuff. Really exciting to see all the development going on. Are there any advantages to using the minimal image from a performance standpoint? Or is it mainly for the sake of saving disk space?

Ok i will try but i have another problem to solve first.
Maybe stupid question but it's stucking me.
I always used Terminal or Fugu to acces and modify my Appletv but in the linux boot i am unable.
Instead of ssh frontrow@myappletvip
i am trying: ssh xbmc@myappletvip as xbmc is now the new user and password but the response after some wait is always: "ssh: connect to host 10.0.1.2 port 22: Operation timed out"
Via Fugu the same,too bad!

The IP is unchanged in the Frontrow side,in Linux should be the same,right?

you have probably been assigned a different IP address. check your router logs to see what IP was assigned.

No network connectivity - frumpy_uk - 2010-06-08 17:54

Using the minimal image, I am not getting any network connectivity. Based on the system info from within xbmc, it's looking for an IP address in the range 192.168.1.x however my router is on 192.168.0.1 (and the DHCP server is serving addresses in 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.254). Do I have to change my router setup or can I do something to the image/in xbmc?

thanks in advance

Hmm.. it's setup for DHCP so it should 'just work,' but maybe I did something wrong.. will check on that tonight.

It's mostly for a performance advantage (and probably not a big one at that). There are less services running (and no desktop) so startup time is quicker. XBMC is also configured to restart if it crashes instead of dropping to a terminal (thanks to xbmc-live). Probably uses a few hundred megabytes less diskspace (not a big enough difference to get excited about).
