Textbased installer does not work, trying to install on software raid
There must be a graphical way of doing it? Some packages to install and then I can do it?

the default IS graphic mode

Yes I am fully aware of that, but I was referring to trying to install it on a software raid graphically.

These were the rough steps:

Boot into XBMCbuntu Live
*Go into desktop (exit and then type xbmc, hit enter, use the mouse to click the wrench icon and select xbmcbuntu, then click the log on button, in that exact order)
*Now I opened the horrible terminal emulator xterm, then installed mdadm using this command sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-reccomends mdadm
*I already had the raid array, but you might be able to set it up graphically in the installer now, if you had it like me you need to refresh mdadm.
*then use the graphical installer and select the software raid as / when you install xbmcbuntu.
*Now of course grub won't install, so hope you set up the raid to accept a grub install earlier (a 1MB partition formatted correctly on both disks is the easiest way), I booted into recue-boot a distro made to fix grub problems, but you can also install recue-boot in the live session and start it there (I just had it on my multi boot stick anyway). recue-boot will instruct you how to fix it, even if you must chroot into the system.

The two folders I have in /.xbmc/ are addons and userdata. No temp file and no xbmc.log

I installed xbmcbuntu beta 2 a couple of weeks ago and have kept it updated. Since the initial install, I have been experiencing a sporadic issue. After playing a video I completely lose the ability to control xbmc via both the keyboard and flirc. this continues even after the video has ended and I've returned to the library view. My hardware is an i5 Haswell processor using built-in 4600 graphics. Logs captured after this error are below and any insight is greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work!

You should be looking in ~/.xbmc not /.xbmc

Music issue fixed! (Well, worked around.)

The system was (for some unknown reason) not liking the Music attached directly as an SMB source in XBMC. Playing the music locally worked fine.
In order to correct the issue, I've created a permanent mountpoint, and added that as a local filesystem source. Music now plays without error.

In fstab:

Code:

//192.168.0.2/Public/My\040Music    /mnt/music   cifs    guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8    0    0

Then added the source as normal, browsing from root filesystem.

Are there any reprocussions to using a mountpoint in this way?

[wsnipex]

no, I'd actually recommend it if you don't use mysql with mixed OS clients.

@danofun: please enable debugging in xbmc and capture a new log of the issue.
I see loads of curl errors that indicate an issue with an addon(probably music scraper). You might want to try without additional addons too.

@wsnipex thanks for upgrade

It just says "unable to read from: /.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log"

[fritsch]

It's ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log in your home directory.

The add-on list seems to be a little bit empty, is this normal ? On beta 2 or 3 they was a lot of add-on. I used Shoutcast, Digitally Imported, YouTube, ...
A few add-on are availibles but most of the time they are incompatible.

When I boot xbmc, but there is no video output available, it freezes before booting xbmc.
The HDMI is also my only sound output as well so not sure if it is a video or audio issue.

Don't know what logs would be useful let me know.

Thanks.

In doubt all of them Xorg.0.log, dmesg, xbmc.log to see if it's trying to start and so on
