XBMC LiveUSB (formerly "LiveXBMC") V2 is out

@l.capriotti
I don't believe you included the right xml's then. I just opened the xbmc.img, and double checked the DialogButtonMenu.xml files (16x9 and 4x3) and it's still original, and not using syscalls. I tried changing them myself, but when i try to inject it back into the image file, it error's and says it can't. Also because i also was trying to inject the Back-Row skin also (with shutdown changes). Shoot!!

you are right! That's why I just released on sourceforge a new xbmc build (SVN12869) with the proper xml files...
uncompress the new image file, rename xbmc.12869.img to xbmc.img and put it onto the flash disk!

Cheers
Luigi

I'm not dead sure but I think you copy and paste this into your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
And you probably need to do
# sudo /etc/init.d/lirc reload
# sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

In ubuntu it asks you for which conf you want when installing it, that doesn't work here as we don't know
I think we might need to create some form of setup wizzard for this somehow.
<EDIT>When I think of it that URL I posted might be for the older MCE remote. I have the newer and couldn't find that on there website (but I know it's there somewere) anywho: here's mine</EDIT>

Thnx for quick reply ..problem for me its how to copy and paste in to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf i just get the login but that is all i know thats why i chose LiveXBMC i dont know linux

Sorry for the noob question but how exactly can i use the downloaded LiveXBMCV2.12835.7z file ?

l.capriotti,

Booted up first time here. Bootup in 45 secs.
Hardware:
AMD X2 BE-2400
Nvidia 8600GTS
2GB RAM

I haven't tested any media yet as all mine is on the network and I need to setup the network settings.

Just one question....I want to change to a static IP address but can't find how to get to the command line. Should ALT-Fx keys work to get to a virtual console? OR is there another method? When you exit xbmc, it shuts down.

Thanks for a great tool,
John

OK, found it. Have to press CTRL-ALT-F[1-6] to get to virtual consoles - weird.

Once there, ALT-Fx key works as normal to get to others.

I would like to report a success story for this. I downloaded the program and the image, installed it to a 512MB flash drive, and booted my computer off of it after making the necessary change for Intel graphics.
It did take almost 5 minutes sitting there with the X cursor before XBMC loaded. However, once it loaded, almost everything has run smoothly.
higher resolution videos play well, but the system is slow to respond to commands - but I attribute that to the slow processor on the system.

MSI 915GM Speedster motherboard (MoDt variety) with integrated Intel Video
Intel Celeron M 1.3Ghz
1GB DDR333 RAM

Specs on the modtherboard can be found here: linky

Great work!

l.capriotti, I just want to give you advice about the Image Creator.

When I use folders with spaces, the formatter and the image extractor don't work. I shall put all the files inside a folder without spaces in order to finish the process correctly.
