Hi,

Good to hear. Which SVN would that be? apt-get update/upgrade doesnt show any xbmc packages that can be updated.

Thanks

Nevermind, this morning there was new release on svn. Running now " Built on Nov 12 2009 (SVN:24548)"

Code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xbmc-addons/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xbmc-addons/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Yes I noticed that too, saw an Alpha2 and decide to give it a go, and it went all screwy in my system.... I upgraded all packages, and now i can't get into my system anymore.

I think it did something to the sudoers file (like re-adding user "xbmc") which generated a parse error, and now it's impossible for me to sudo into root. It seems that XBMC has started though.

Here's some output from after the reboot:

Code:

(live)xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ sudo su

>>> /etc/sudoers: Alias `' already defined near line 33 <<<

>>> /etc/sudoers: Alias `' already defined near line 34 <<<

sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 33

sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

(live)xbmc@XBMCLive:~$

Trying to start XBMC-live from the "xbmc" user:

Code:

(live)xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ service xbmc-live start

start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.21" (uid=1000 pid=1751 comm="start) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))

selective output from "ps faxuwww" command:

Code:

xbmc      1512  0.0  0.0   4484  1540 ?        S    09:03   0:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/runXBMC

So the primary error is not being able to SUDO. I can't look on my TV to figure out if XBMC is running for sure, since i'm not at home.

(No hard feelings, I know this is Alpha stuff, so we knew what we were getting into Smile

)

alpha2 went out without the committed fix, pls bear with me for fixing it too late Smile

jinxedworld · 2009-11-13 11:08

No problem, I'll fix it manually when I get home Smile

Still kudo's to the entiry dev team!

For posterity's sake i'll sribble down my probable fix (untested, doing this by heart):

1: Boot an Ubuntu CD and enter rescue mode
2: Fill out the mandatory questions
3: Go to the target mount where rescue mode mounted your harddisk's filesystem
4: fix the file /etc/suoders yourself (remove the double line should do it )

My upgrade went "fine" via apt-get update.
No issues with sudo file.

However there were some issues with xbmc-live package as its trying to call on some xbmc script in /etc/init/xbmc-something (not init.d).
Those file did not exist in alpha1, I checked and folder was empty. Anyway I did a hurrican approach and "touched" the files it needed, installation completed sucessfully and xbmc is able to start without any (at the moment) apperant problems.

not like you already don't know, but idd, thumb/tag extracting works fine again in alpha 2 Smile
