Linux apt-get upgraded to Eden on Ubuntu and now .. no X, and no XBMC

Ok, I just found out the problem: XBMC 11 is not compatible with Ubuntu 10.04, because uxlaunch does not exist in the latter.

Sorry for the third post in a row, but: looks like everything still works also under Lucid (if, for some reasons, you don't want to update Ubuntu), if you use the old /etc/init/xbmc-live.conf instead of the new one (which is the one using uxlaunch).

Ooh good news - I'll try that tonight. I was digging about for uxlaunch and pondering updating Ubuntu, but didn't have enough time (or patience!) to invest in doing that .. because I have this suspicion that a bunch of stuff will stop working when I do.

I probably should just update Ubuntu, though. But in the interim .. I'll give switching xbmc-live.conf about a bash.

Hm - of course .. I just installed a fresh 10.04 LTS box and installed XBMC and I get the new xbmc-live.conf. Don't suppose you could upload the old one to pastebin or similar could you?
