Trying to get lirc to work, I copied my Keymap.xml and Lircmap.xml from /home/.xbmc/userdata oder to /usr/share/xbmc and tried starting xbmc from the console wich froze my system. After a reset now X keeps trying to start, fails and retries endlessly.

What can have gone wrong here?

The xorg log indicates nothing going wrong an .xsession-errors looks like this:
Code:
Xsession: X session started for root at Wed Jul  1 18:20:18 UTC 2009
xmodmap:  unable to open file '/root/.Xmodmap' for reading

Hmm, just found this in the xbmc log:

but I have a file /.bootMedia/dotXBMC/userdata/guisettings.xml

I don't understand what's going on...

please pastebin the entire xbmc.log.. by looking at the snippet provided, you have some sort of permission errors eg: running xbmc as the wrong user

looks like a permissions problem. are you running from hdd? did you run xbmc as root sometimes earlier? that's what your first log indicates.

EDIT: sorry for double post... blittan was first Smile

No, I run the live-version from an usb stick with the option to make my changes persistent. Meanwhile I figured, there are millions of FAT filesystem errors in the syslog, so I will install it to a harddisk and restart from scratch Sad
