This script is not intended to be used with Debian, but Ubuntu minimal install.
I bet this is the root of your problem

"There's your problem right there"

Thnx

EDIT: I fond, the problem is the new kernel 2.6.31.21

Source :
https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/xci/v...p?f=5&t=57

Please stick to 2.6.31-20 kernel as the newer one will you will not be able to install the remote drivers. Even when installed it doesnt seems to work.

So my solution is to reinstall or downgrade de Kernel to 2.6.31.20 and then lirc-nct677x work correctly.

If i read this post in the "new" forum (for me) xci
I didn't upgrade my kernel, but i read this to late ....

EDIT 2 :

uninstall the Asrock's IR lirc driver, then run the script and configure your remote again:

This does'nt work. The last night i try your solution.

Now my XBMC run like a charm.




[i][i]Hy everybody,

Fisrt, sorry for my very bad English.

Second, many thanks for this amazing script!

I have buy an Ascrock 330 HT in January 2010, then i search a good solution for install a minimal xbmc.
I found this script !

So i try to install a minimal karmic.
Then i download and run this script and at the fisrt launch everything was ok!

Sound via HDMI
Remote Ascrock with internal ir
On / Off
SMB

Perfect install !


Yesterday, i have a good ... bad idea...
I relaunch the script to see if there is something new.
I update my system!
After reboot, no remote !!!

My media is stocked on a NAS so i decide to format my partition with xbmc, réinstall minimal karmic.

Then i redownload & launch the script.

Same, after a reboot everything work but no ir and no remote.

When I type this command :

sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart

* Stopping execution daemon: irexec ...fail!
* Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC ...fail!
* Loading LIRC modules ...done.

* Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
* selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

* Starting execution daemon: irexec ...fail!


So i make a more on the script to see what the probleme with the ir driver

I see in the script the Ascrock driver is now 1.0.4 ... ok

I see i have a new kernel, version 2.6.31.21

The problem is the driver or the kernel ?

With dmesg i see

[ 30.242067] lirc_wb677: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
[ 206.874979] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[ 206.879656] lirc_wb677: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
[ 967.790160] lirc_wb677: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
[ 1492.280737] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[ 1492.285493] lirc_wb677: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

Iff any body have the same problem or a solution for me ...



Thanks in advance[/i][/i]

[FireMan]

uninstall the Asrock's IR lirc driver, then run the script and configure your remote again:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove lirc-nct677x

Selecct "none" to all options (if any is asked) then run the script again and select the ASRock's remote. This will compile a new module using the updated kernel source.

I believe this will solve your problem.


cheers.

EDIT: in fact, this didn't work anymore after update to kernel 2.6.31-21 (i'm running 2.6.31-21-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 24 07:28:56 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux - the last stable and installed by apt-get update+upgrade)

Code:

xbmc@ASRock:~$ sudo modprobe lirc_wb677
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_wb677 (/lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_wb677/lirc_wb677.ko): Invalid module format

I don't have much time now... I will try solve this later

Cheers.

Hey any support for Ubuntu 10.04?

[scales]

I second that... any support for 10.04?

Hi all

Just thought I would add my experiences

I have just put together a Mini-Itx unit using a Zotag ION ITX-A
I bought the bundle here

http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/xbmc-ion/

I originally installed 9.11 live as suggested in the article. But then wanted to experiment with latest nightly releases etc.
So I installed minimal ubuntu karmic and used this script.
I have say it works brilliantly, and very stable too.

While not a complete novice, my linux skills are very sketchy at best.

This is great.

I wonder if I may be so bold however, as to add a suggestion (maybe it is already there of course and I just don't know how to invoke it from the script menu). But it would be nice to add an option to install Samba and set up a basic share to the \home\xbmc folder.

Easy enough to do with "apt-get install samba" of course. But it would just add that little extra touch.

Many thanks for a great script.

Pete

Thanks, great script, I've used it on all of my HTPCs instead of my old XBMC Live setup.

I've got 2 minor problems though:

1) I lose my nav sounds after playing a video. They do return after a reboot and I've read similar posts regarding this issue but couldn't find a solution.

2) Sometimes when you un-pause a video, it instantly re-pauses (this only happens once, ie if you un-pause again the video continues fine). This happens intermittently and on all three machines.

Currently using r28256, NV driver 195.36.15 and official MS MCE remotes.
Any ideas?

I have noticed this too. In fact even on the original stable 9.11 Live Repack installation too. I thought it was something buggy in my remote.

But I guess not.

Hapening to me too, I had a quick search the ohter day to see if anyone else was seeing the same issue and found nothing. Perhaps worthy of a thread on its own?

[ClayM]

Yep, I have the double-play problem quite often.

[ppic]

same here

Does this script work on a full ubuntu install as well?

[ClayM]

It does. Or at least it worked for me.

Thanks for the script, its made installing Xbmc on my zotac ion-itx-a. I thought Id mention a problem I had with the displaying of the CPU temp. It would show 0'C in Xbmc. After some poking around I saw that it was being displayed as 0'C when sensors was run after the installation of the XCI script:

Code:

root@xbmc:~# sensors
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:      +31.0°C  (crit = +95.0°C)                  

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1:      +29.0°C  (crit = +95.0°C)                  

coretemp-isa-0002
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 2:      +31.0°C  (crit = +95.0°C)                  

coretemp-isa-0003
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 3:      +29.0°C  (crit = +95.0°C)                  

w83667hg-isa-fff8
Adapter: ISA adapter
VCore:       +2.04 V  (min =  +2.04 V, max =  +2.04 V)   ALARM
VIN0 +12V:  +13.46 V  (min = +13.46 V, max = +13.46 V)   ALARM
AVCC:        +4.08 V  (min =  +4.08 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM
3VCC:        +4.08 V  (min =  +4.08 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM
VIN2 +5V:    +6.12 V  (min =  +6.12 V, max =  +6.12 V)   ALARM
in6:         +2.04 V  (min =  +2.04 V, max =  +2.04 V)   ALARM
3VSB:        +4.08 V  (min =  +4.08 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM
VBat:        +4.08 V  (min =  +4.08 V, max =  +4.08 V)   ALARM
CPU Fan:       0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 128)  ALARM
fan4:          0 RPM  (min =    0 RPM, div = 128)  ALARM
Sys Temp:     -1.0°C  (high =  -1.0°C, hyst =  -1.0°C)  ALARM  sensor = diode
CPU Temp:     +0.0°C  (high =  +0.0°C, hyst =  +0.0°C)  ALARM  sensor = diode
cpu0_vid:   +0.000 V

Changing the command in advancedsettings.xml for reading of the CPU temp to:

Code:

    <cputempcommand>echo "$(sensors -u *-isa-0003 | grep temp1_input | awk '{print $2 }' |awk '{printf("%d\n",$1 + 0.5);}') C"</cputempcommand>

Would display the temperatures of one of the cores of the Atom CPU in XBMC. From what I saw, theres only ever a 1'C difference between cores so it doesnt matter which one is being monitored.

Anyways, Im not sure why sensors isnt displaying my cpu temp but is displaying the individual core temps, but Im happy with this workaround... Now to figure out why nothing is displayed on the 'Storage Information' page...

Thanks again X3!!
