fnc1 Wrote:Greetings all,

I have one of these boxes in route, along with 4gb ram and 32gb SSD...

I have a couple questions (the last time i installed xbmc was on the original XBOX) so yeah its been a while, I have a pretty large media library. which i server up over nfs from my 10tb raid...

My questions are probably for speed and josh.. or anyone running ubuntu 10.10 with an SSD..

1) Does setting up the minimal install iso (from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD) partition the SSD optimally?
Could someone paste the following:
cat /etc/fstab (im specifically wondering 1) if it sets noatime. and 2) if it automatically sets up tempfs (/tmp) )

2) Also wondering about if it properly aligns the erase block size?
could you paste the output of fdisk -lu (i believe)

3) Basically I'm wondering if i should partition the drive first then run through the install

4) Also im wondering with these ubuntu minimal installs are you able to run firefox?

5) does anyone happen to run mythfrontend with XBMC on one of these? if so what OS are you using.

6) My last question would be about blu-ray i started ripping those to ISO but have yet to play back one over the network.. (i can stream them if i just copy the disk so i can see the menu structure, but my goal is to have everything play from ISO like my DVDs) I am currently using a popcorn hour a110 so this box is replacing that - the sigma stuff looks really interesting. (if anyone happens to have one, there is a guy on networkedmedatank that has one running xbmc, but he hasnt released any real useful info to the public yet)

• Booted on a gparted live CD and set the entire SSD as EXT3 (As per OpenELEC)
• Booted up and quick installed the latest OpenELEC
• I was getting the "could not open framebuffer: no such file or directory" error at boot, so I SSH'd in and 'mount -o remount,rw /flash' then modified /flash/extlinux.conf adding vga=792 as per these instructions
• Created a asound.conf (below) then set my XBMC settings for custom 'plughw:0,7'

Here's what I did:

• Booted on a gparted live CD and set the entire SSD as EXT3 (As per OpenELEC)
• Booted up and quick installed the latest OpenELEC
• I was getting the "could not open framebuffer: no such file or directory" error at boot, so I SSH'd in and 'mount -o remount,rw /flash' then modified /flash/extlinux.conf adding vga=792 as per these instructions
• Created a asound.conf (below) then set my XBMC settings for custom 'plughw:0,7'
  

asound.conf:

Code:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "plughw:0,7"
}
}

pcm.hdmi07 {
type plughw
card 0
device 7
}

Everything is now working perfectly (1080p HDMI A/V including DTS, etc.) minus the remote that shipped with the device. I'll look at that later tonight or this week. I'd like to replace all my remotes with a Harmony soon, so I'm not too concerned. Also, I'm using the official XBMC remote from my Android and it works perfectly. Oh, and it's super quiet after boot!

If anyone has tips or a script I can cut/paste (!!) for the remote I'd love to hear about it!

I timed it this morning after having tweaked Grub and it took 38 seconds from the time I hit the on button until the main XBMC menu first appeared. Half of that time is the Bios screen. I'm using an SSD already so I was wondering if there was anything else I could do to get this time down.

Thanks!
