Right, I'm not the first one and no fixes I've found has corrected this issue.

Basically it just boots into the terminal login prompt;

Code:

Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS XBMCLive tty1

XBMCLive login:

I've tried

Code:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbmc xbmc-live xinit x11-xserver-utils

with no luck.

I've recently reinstalled XBMCLive on my box to get rid of this very same error. I can't be arsed to reinstall yet again and I'd rather find out how to fix this problem.

When running startx I get the following error,

Just tried the suggestion of http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=891775&postcount=2 without any luck.

Also, it may be worth noting that I'm on the most recent pre-eden build. I don't see how that would go about and mess things up this badly though.

Supposedly the solution is "Make some free space on your root partition and X will start.". How on earth do I do this? I mean I haven't changed anything and by the looks of it /tmp/ doesn't have anything in it. So I frankly fail to see how the xkeyboard keymap cannot compile due to lack of space.

Code:

xbmc@XBMCLive:/var/tmp$ df

I'm not quite sure how to read this.

I installed Pre-Eden on my XBMCLive by using this

Have to make sure you are on a completely clean install of Dharma though. Do NOT install the new NVidia driver, I did and it completely breaks X Server.
Try doing it after if you like, but I did not bother incase it broke again.

Make sure the packages are installed individually. Word wrap on the forum has broke the install script.

Also, I think there is a typo.
cd $HOME/setup

should be
cd $HOME/setup/XBMC

See how that goes. It was awkward, annoying and time consuming. But once it completes, its a great feeling.

BTW, this is compiling XBMC from Source, so you will have a release date of today.
