Hmm, just had to try this code.
But doesn't seem to work. You actually download the index.html file if you do this.

mm, it should work, did you get the URL correctly (copy link)? The text was messed up with "...." in the middle.

I have edited the post and written the URL in a different way to stop the layout from messing up

edit:
Ok, didnt work. The address after http://

Finally it worked...

Hm, strangely it gives me the file "index.html?lywzwbnqyyy" when I do this.

I do it from Linux Bash..

If you put the url directly in the browser do you get the zip then? I do...and wget works..

No, but this links for for me:



I don't think you can make a full proof wget from a mediafire.com download site, as it changes the links.

ups, okej. I think it must be generated from my ip address then because it seem to be the same everytime for me.

Thanks, I will change the post.

Aye..

The fonts should be located on the Aeon project site, or with a permanent link. Had solved the problem.

when i start xbmc from gnome, i have it set so that when the power button is pressed it will go to suspend instead of shutdown. However when I set the session so it automatically boots into xbmc, pressing the power button on my mce remote or the asrock itself, will shutdown the asrock. Anyone know what could be the problem?

edit: ignore, didnt spot it in the system hardware menu

I have a question regarding this setup.

How is it with system resources? Does a full Ubuntu Desktop as background OS eat alot of the system resources? (Like having Windows + XBMC).

I have Ubuntu Minimal OS today, but I am wondering if I will try this out when I want to run Spotify from XBMC aswell.

Performance Ubuntu Minimal Server vs Ubuntu Standard Desktop?

I don't run on top of the the desktop, when I use the xbmc session it runs on top of the GDM only, not the gnome desktop. I am not sure how much resources the GDM is using but memory shouldn't be a problem on the ION 330. I am guessing that boot time is the biggest diff but I haven't done a benchmark.

The advantage with regards to spotify is that you can start the desktop and get spotify to work fine before you try to get it to launch from xbmc.
(If think you need to use a thing called "launcer" to start it from xbmc without desktop)
