I changed the header to just "Repair settings" so it's easier to find.

Ran the command, restarted atv2, went into xbmc in library mode - still comes up blank! any other advice? Should I downgrade? Thanks

Same issue here, the repair doesn't work. Nito TV and XBMC are missing on the main menu.

Tryed to patch again from scratch by restoring and running Greenpois0n, Nito TV and install of XBMC. All seemed ok but after doing the XBMC setup it crashed again on Frontrow with the menu entries missing.

SSH works fine and the Apps seems to be there but the entries got removed.

Btw, I don't think this has anything to to with the update to Eden beta. I've updated to Eden beta weeks ago, today I think it was nitotv that got updated.

I have found a fix to this problem. I'd like to point out that I have no experience in how the ATV jb works, but I do have some experience in apt and dpkg ^^ So bare with me Wink

My symptoms:
After updating using SSH (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade) my XMBC and NitoTV menus were missing.
My /var/log/syslog showed me the following errors:

Code:
Apr  8 04:00:32 Apple-TV /Applications/AppleTV.app/AppleTV[123]: Failed to allow loading of appliance /Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances//Overflow.frappliance
Apr  8 04:00:32 Apple-TV /Applications/AppleTV.app/AppleTV[123]: Failed to allow loading of appliance /Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances//XBMC.frappliance
Apr  8 04:00:32 Apple-TV /Applications/AppleTV.app/AppleTV[123]: Failed to allow loading of appliance /Applications/AppleTV.app/Appliances//nitoTV.frappliance

After a long Google session and about an hour of trying stuff, I figured out what to do.
Have a look at what your update did. I used less to read the apt logfile:
Code:
Apple-TV:~ root# less /var/log/apt/term.log

Look for the update that caused your problems. Here is mine:

In my case, amonst others, the beigelist package was updated: (Setting up beigelist (2.2.2-3) ...)

I decided to start downgrading stuff at random and see what it would do. Beigelist was the one that did the trick.

So, have a look at what version you had before the upgrade. Its in the term.log file.
Code:
Preparing to replace beigelist 2.1-2 (using .../beigelist_2.2.2-3_iphoneos-arm.deb) ...

Have a look if that version is still supported by the repository:
Code:
Apple-TV:~ root# apt-cache showpkg beigelist

Look at the "Provides" list and look up your previous version:
Code:
.....
Provides:
2.2.2-3 - org.awkwardtv.whitelist
2.2.1-1 - org.awkwardtv.whitelist
2.2-1 - org.awkwardtv.whitelist
2.1-2 - org.awkwardtv.whitelist
2.1-1 - org.awkwardtv.whitelist
2.0-1 - org.awkwardtv.whitelist
1.0-1 - org.awkwardtv.whitelist
Reverse Provides:
......

If your version is listed here, you are able to downgrade beigelist using apt-get. Mine was version 2.2-1 so i executed the following command.
Code:
Apple-TV:~ root# apt-get install beigelist=2.1-2
(note the =2.1-2 forcing the previous version)

And that fixed it! Yay!

I would like to add that I have no idea of the implications this downgrade has on the system. As said before, I have little experience in these matters. All I know is that i have my ATV2 back, with Eden! Smile

My Provides where the same so 'apt-get install beigelist=2.1-2' worked fine.

Seems there is something wrong in the latest upgrade, hope somebody looks at it, but in the meantime it is working fine with this fix.
