Hi!

Just got XBMC running on my Ubuntu Hardy install.

Get this message in the terminal window: "The XBMC_HOME environment variable is not set.".

What is wrong, and what can be done to remedy it?

Nothing is wrong, don't worry about it. It was used earlier on in development to specify the home directory. None but the most obscure of cases should require it now.

I get the same error. Did svn up today, so it should be latest version.

totto@totto-desktop:~/XBMC/BUILD$ ./XboxMediaCenter -fs
Running in fullscreen mode...
