anyone have an up to date guide to do this? Everything I've tried hasn't succeeded. I got it working a few weeks ago, and just had to reinstall, but no bluray support or vdpau support. Can anyone see if there's anything I'm missing?

Here's my basic process:

Code:

*install x64 based Ubuntu 10.04 minimal from USB key with OpenSSH server


*Add Mario-Sitz repository:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mario-sitz/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xorg

*install drivers and vdpau

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 nvidia-settings mesa-utils libvdpau-dev

*MAKE SURE MONITOR is connected

sudo nvidia-xconfig -s --no-logo --force-generate --output-xconfig=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo reboot

sudo adduser xbmc --gecos XBMC
sudo usermod --group adm,sudo,cdrom,floppy,audio,video,plugdev,netdev,powerdev,fuse,polkituser xbmc
sudo apt-get install xbmc-live

*Login as xbmc user, then:

xinit xbmc-standalone

*Now should see XBMC interface
*Add Audio Drivers & remote

sudo apt-get install alsa-utils lirc
sudo apt-get install lirc

*Windows Media Center Transcivers/Remotes (all)
*Microsoft Windows Media Center V2 (usb): Direct TV Receiver
