XBMC LiveUSB (formerly "LiveXBMC") V2 is out

so i am out of this dance, till someone with ati hardware gives you a hand or something. i only bought the card because i saw it at best buy for $40 and i knew it would be a great card for my hd t.v. to pull from. well thanks for the help, i might just have to switch my components out for something more linux friendly. by the way vhat did you mean about ati and xbmc not being a win? i can't see why it wouldn't be once you get past the work to make it function properly. thanks again for the info, and good luck with further advances.

I decided to get the amd 780g with onboard hdmi (ati Radeon HD 3200) and installed the driver and run Hardy Heron and have no problems. It has 3d acceleration and everything. I compiled the latest svn and love it.

great to read it, unfortunately I don't have an ATI card to create the needed drivers for LiveXBMC.

I think i might have another usb stick somewhere around, but i was previously til date booting 8.04 fine off my 4 Corsair, up until i tried this install, so i know it's not a limitation of being able to boot off the one i'm currently testing, because i'm been using it for 8.04 up til now. And used 7.04 before that. It's a 4gig i am using.

@l.capriotti, do you want feedback on boot/config issues regarding LiveXBMC? When I take a closer look I might have some suggestions.

@djdafreund: post the content of your syslinux.cfg on the flash disk, pls
@davilla:any feedback is welcome, especially if costructive!

Hi,

Receive a fatal error "no screen" found after the start-up logo.
I am using a ATI Radeon HD2400pro video card.

its intel and nvidia only. ^^^ I would love to try this out I might have to buy an nvidia card. Thanks for creating this how fast can it boot up, are there significant improvements over booting from hard drive?

The one I tried worked good with Geforce 8800 gts and with GeForce fx 5600, though the later have a bug in ordinary ubuntu which haunts this aswell. I haven't confirmed it though but it should be possible to go around by having an own xorg.conf in the root of the USB as then it should be used (correct me if I'm wrong l.capproti )

It boots faster for me than my Ubuntu Gutsy HTPC on HDD.

(l.capproti I haven't been able to test this latest as I have lended away my pendrive for schoolwork, will try it soon though.)

weird, somethings obviously corrupt with the syslinux.cfg file as this is the only thing inside it when opened up with Wordpad-

"öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö​öööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööööö​ööö"


That's prollie the problem then. I am using x64 Pro to run this installer program, possible the program isn't copying and making the files correctly? I just tried both xp and w2000 compatibility mode with all files, and ran it again, but the syslinux.cfg file is still just one line of "ö" characters over (about 120 chars or so). I'm trying my 4 gig Sony USB stick i also have to test further.

Ok, it's doing the same thing. The syslinux.cfg file is just one line also with all "ö" characters in the 1 long line. Thats 2 different brand USB memory sticks tested on. x64 Pro OS using. Hopefully this helps. If not, i could go back to installing Ubuntu back on manually. It works fine at least, but i am interested in the faster booting up part of this, and less space taken as well.
