Code:

ls -lha /etc/udev/rules.d/

say?

If you have the simple starter AMBX, the on button is on your right hand side of the main unit towards the bottom (I had trouble finding it too)

Did you make the script executable ??

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/startambx

Thanks abfmdf & Z3rO,
the script wasn't executable. And I finally found the power-button, it was covered by the cable of the center box. Nerd

Thanks again! :-)

Very good howto! Thanks!

If I have got two screens, how can I tell boblight-X11 just to grab the colors from one screen?

@CharlesNasi: Please put the line "sudo make && sudo make install" in a Code-Box, I thought, it belongs to Ruby-Error-Case. :-)

Thanx to alle people here for your work and support!

I running one AMBX Starter Kit, and it is great!

@sexybiggitje:
Any chance u add mutiple Kit Support?
I would appreciate it.
but thank you for your work neverless!

Just a little note for anyone installing ambx on Dharma live. The very first step you have to do is perform an update

sudo apt-get update

otherwise you wont be able install subversion

did anyone manage to run two or more ambx sets?

peterasd · 2010-09-15 17:19

is there still no support for multiple sets? has anybody tried it sofar?

I am very interested in this set up and thanks for all the hard work you guys have done....

How ever I am having a problem getting mine to work. I follow all the steps on Kodes web page exactly and I test the lights and they work, i then start boblightd and he starts up but when i try to start boblight-X11 it says it does not exist. I tried to redo all the steps and notice that boblight-x11 does noy get built but dont know why

Any help will be appriciated

By the way I am trying to get this to work with XBMC Live (not Dhama) & my Linux knowledge is minimal
