XBMC no longer boots after upgrading to beta1
#1
I just upgraded to beta1 from build 22528 which booted automatically on my asrock 330. I upgraded using:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install xbmc

This succeeded, but now when I boot I simply get the spinning xbmc logo, and then a prompt. Above the prompt I see:

Code:
Loading, please wait...
19+0 records in
19+0 records out
kinit:name_to_dev_t(/dev/disk/by-uuid/lotsofnumbers)=dev (8,50
kinit:trying to resume from /dev/disk/same as line above
kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot...
Ubuntu 9.04 Nvidiaion tty1

Nvidiaion login:

I tried logging in and typing xbmc and entering but that gives:
error: unable to open display
FEH.py: cannot connect to X server

I am a linux noob, is this fixeable? Or should I do a complete reinstall?

EDIT: trying sudo apt-get dist-upgrade as some packages were held back.

log into linux and try running xbmc via runXBMC

PHP Code:
cd /usr/bin
./runXBMC 

If you still get the X server problem then maybe you would need to manually compile the Nvidia driver as discussed in this thread

Also post the output of
PHP Code:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version 
so that its clear which version of Nvidia drivers you are using.
