Hello!
I installed XBMC on my 4 yr. old Dell desktop following the instructions from http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMCbuntu. I wanted a fast booting media OS and this one now boots within 30s.
However, even after editing fstab to mount another partition which contains my media files, I was not able to view this in the "Add Media" section of XBMC. After some searching and comparing with another ubuntu desktop installation, it appeared that XBMC uses fuse and the XBMCbuntu page does not mention about installing gvfs-fuse package. After installing this, I could see mounted partitions in XBMC.
Posting here for everybody's benefit.
