I did a clean install of ubuntu 10.04 server amd64 and then followed the article on how to install XBMCbunt in the wiki:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMCbuntu
I did steps 3, 4, 5 (method 1), reboot, 6, 7, 8.3 (also lcdproc for an imonlcd) and 9.7.
When doing that I encounter no errors. Smooth install and everything works fine.
After that I remove;
/home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/sources.xml
/home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/Database
/home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails
and I add the following to my fstab;
192.168.1.201:/home/xbmc/.xbmc /home/xbmc/xbmcdata nfs _netdev,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
/home/xbmc/.xbmc is an export on another machine that also runs XBMC. I mount it to a dir in the xbmc user's home dir called xmbcdata.
When it's mounted I create symbolic links to the NFS share like so;
ln -s /home/xbmc/xbmcdata/userdata/Database /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/Database
ln -s /home/xbmc/xbmcdata/userdata/Thumbnails /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails
ln -s /home/xbmc/xbmcdata/userdata/sources.xml /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/sources.xml
If I start XBMC-live using sudo service xbmc-live start, it works as expected and XBMC uses the database, thumbnails and sources from my other XBMC machine @ 192.168.1.201
If I reboot, I get an error message right before XBMC autostarts saying: "mountall: Disconnected from plymouth".
XBMC does work though.
If I remove the NFS mount from /etc/fstab, the message is not displayed, but of course the NFS share is not mounted at XBMC does not get the data I want it to get.
If I add the NFS mount to /etc/fstab, the message is displayed again.
Perhaps this is not XBMC related at all, but I thought I'd ask anyway to see if someone might know what's going on and possibly how to get rid of it.

Ron
