illiac4 Wrote:Hi!
Well i have posted this before but now it seems that the installer does not work if no internal disk is attached in ATV and using USB pen only.
I have setup an ATV, removed the internal disk and created USB pen drive using your installer and it will not boot. When a reattcah the drive it works but not if unattached.
I assume i have to change something in com.apple.boot.plist
Well i did it. Hope that i did not break something else with this
I did:
Edit: com.apple.boot.plist (Using Gparted distro)
---------------------------------------
sudo su
cd
sudo umount /dev/sdb2
fsck.hfsplus /dev/sdb2
mkdir mnt
mount -t hfsplus -o rw /dev/sdb1 mnt
cd mnt
sudo nano com.apple.boot.plist
(edit from sdb3 to sda3 (because there is no internal disk in ATV))
cd
sudo umount /dev/sdXn
rm -rf mnt
Now it boots and also updates are working

"However, if XBMC is crashing, then this is likely due to a lack of memory available to the system. Therefore, a reboot is optimal. It does take notably longer before XBMC is restarted but ensures the system regains resources. This can be done by adding sudo reboot to the end of rc.local which can be edited via SSH with sudo nano /etc/rc.local. To regain access to the TTY session at any time, remove the reboot command."
Why not just write a reboot script and save it as a favorite?
Code:
atv | sudo -S reboot- Andy S2K - 2011-04-27 08:11
thnmnt Wrote:Did you try holding 'menu' on the remote? That should bring it up. (hold menu again to get rid of it)
yes, with the old mine release this works. Now with the Sam Image holding the menu on the remote open the video in a window and give me the possibilitity of navigation in the xbmc menu.....
A little help with airplay - cakeove - 2011-04-27 13:37
Sam.Nazarko Wrote:Nice. Airplay sounds good.
I've said several times why I redownload the image every time. I won't repeat the lengthy explanation here.
You're right! No direct references to parted but there is to partprobe which synchronises the filesystems. I will therefore add an apt-get install parted to the top of the script (it doesn't have to be patched).
Sam, First of all excellent work. i could install the image on the internal hdd without any problems.
However i am experience some problems enabling airplay. i follow your recommendation installing python 2.6.
http://www.lysium.de/blog/index.php?/archives/229-Installing-Python-2.6-on-Ubuntu-8.04.html
the last commands where
ln -s /opt/python2.6/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python-2.6
ln -s /opt/python2.6/bin/pydoc /usr/bin/pydoc-2.6.
Are these ok? i am not very familiar with these links.
The second step its following the Pascal tutorial. I successfully install airplay on ubuntu 10.10 + XBMC 10.1 without any problem. I works perfect.
When i try in the apple tv the first problem that i found is
atv@appletv-ubuntu:/usr/bin$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package python-pip
atv@appletv-ubuntu:/usr/bin$
I try manually install it. but i am not very familiar with python. I could install the python-pip but i guest i was installed on the python-2.5 and when i try to run airplayer i get errors.
Do you have any idea to solve this? I read in the post that you have to make that only airplayer uses python 2.6. how can i do this?
Regards.
Can you put some guide - cakeove - 2011-04-27 13:41
Ilia Wrote:I have made it work
You do need to update python to 2.6 -> http://www.lysium.de/blog/index.php?/archives/229-Installing-Python-2.6-on-Ubuntu-8.04.html
and the DNS updater from the install readme.
I try following the instructions but get this error.
atv@appletv-ubuntu:/usr/bin$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package python-pip
atv@appletv-ubuntu:/usr/bin$
i will appreciate your help with this
regards.

GuySie Wrote:Just used the installer, finally got crystalbuntu running on the internal HD! I was having serious problems with my db size and the amount of fanart on my 8gig USB stick. Feels a bit speedier and more stable when playing 720s too versus my old pin87 install! Thanks Sam!
I have used the options="-m" method to get more working Harmony buttons.

and then
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=55660
On my old install this needed a recompiled atvclient, but on Sam's it worked out of the box.
Two things I'm wondering about are: what's this .asoundrc for menusounds trick that's mentioned a few times in this thread? I don't really miss the menu sounds (silence is golden and all), but i'm OCD enough that I want to have everything up and running, just in case... and: I'm also one of the people who have odd behaviour from advancedsettings.xml. My DDS fanart works (after the CPU chugged along for a few hours converting them all, poor thing) but the GPU temp is still a ?.
Glad its working fast then. GPU temp can be setup by following the documentation. As for .asoundrc -- if you prefer silence, keep it that way.

After the PVR patch the following change will occur:
Code:
xinit /usr/bin/xbmc --standaloneCode:
xinit /usr/local/bin/xbmc --standaloneThis is due to a locally produced package. The thing is, this change will not be an append, it will be an overwrite. So after the PVR update, reboot func. will stop working until you re-add the reboot line. I still don't recommend it for the reason I explained in the quote above. But I trust it is working?

Unfortunately, your questions are beyond the scope of this thread, as it is does not cover custom modifcations. However, the best advice I'd give is to build pip manually (configure, make, make install).

this is what I have for the GPU temp
