Xbmcbuntu runs instead of starting the installer
#1
Hi

I am trying to install xbmcbuntu but this always fails, If I choose install from the menu (same with 12dpi installation option) xbmc just runs from the usb stick as a live version

I tried writing to a cd and trying to install from the cd but same thing happens every time.

Do I need to remove existing partitions on the hard drive first (windows 7)


Thanks

Hi,

which image are you using?

The iso from xbmc.org?

How did you convert the iso to an USB image ?

when bootet you have to exit XBMC, login with "xbmc" to linux desktop and run the installer shortcut from desktop

atleast the way i had to do it

I downloaded the image from xbmc.ord/download, coverted it from iso to an usb image and wrote that on the stick.

after booting, the ubuntu installer comes up, and asks if i want to try or to install.

I've got it working today, downloaded the image again from the xbmc web site,wrote to a new cd and this time worked just fine.

very strange as I my first download also came from the xbmc website, but after taking the "test media option" the comuter hang every time

I am guessing that your first download was corrupted. Not sure if there is a checksum available on the site to compare to ??
