Xbmcbuntu 13 Testing Thread

neither gdebi nor synaptic are needed. Use dpkg to install one off packages and apt-get to install anything in the repos.

In relation to Synaptic:

I am also unable to start it from GUI - only sudo synaptic works. (In previous builds there wasn't such problem.) I have tried command synaptic-pkexec and got this:
Code:
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic ===
Authentication is required to run the Synaptic Package Manager
Authenticating as: LiLa,,, (lila)
Password:

Maybe it has something to do with the user rights because I have had also problem to eject DVD within XBMC (no response). After exiting to XBMCbuntu I've got message:
Code:
Not authorized to perform operation
(BTW: the same message also for USB stick trying to eject.) Using command eject in command line returns:
Code:
eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom'
After restart directly to XBMCbuntu all is working fine. I can try to reproduce this and provide log file if you are interested.

Another topic: Multiple displays during installation

It was a coincidence - I have connected my computer monitor to HTPC (via HDMI) which is usualy connected only to data-projector via VGA. After some work I have decided to make a fresh install of the last XBMCbuntu 13. And I have ended with light blue screen with Debian logo... Luckily I have noticed, that my mouse cursor is able to hide somewhere in the left upper corner of the monitor. I have turned my data-projector on and voila! - the installation dialog of XBMCbuntu was waiting there for me :-D
So, I don't want to analyze this hardly. Just want to advice/ask to prepare instalation media to work with more then one video outputs in "display clone" mode so each possible video output will show the same :-)

hi,
great work, but i'm experiencing audio issues.

Hardware: Asus eeebox EB1501 (Atom D330 & Nvidia ION)

I use HDMI only, and Passthrough isn't working anymore. I only get Stereo or Multichannel with disordered channels at best.

any hints ?

regards

If by passthrough you mean anything HD wise, the ion doesnt support any.

Please read the very first post and act accordingly. Also read the release announcement. No one can look into its crystal ball to see why your computer is not working.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Same here.

Also, my fonts are freaking huge. Was that done intentionally by default to try to make it a 10ft interface?

I think it depends whether it is ION or ION2, and the terms are used pretty loosely by many people.

His log, starting at Line 77, shows a device with HD codecs enabled.

You have 100% wrongly configured your asound.conf / .asoundrc and is therefore shot broken. Those files are not created by xbmcbuntu v13. Please remove those and link me to the pseudo howto that suggests them.

Indeed it should!

Perhaps you need to see if something has put a /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc in your system.

he's innocent, sorry about that. https://github.com/xbmc/XBMCbuntu/commit...627cd700be

@der_magus: please delete /etc/xbmc/setup.d/04-configNVIDIAasoundrc.sh, /etc/xbmc/setup.d/05-configAMDFusionasoundrc.sh and ~/.asoundrc
