I upgraded to the latest build in the ppa, I was intrigued to see that some old faithful packages are no longer required and now there is this newfangled uxlaunch package. I guess almost inevitably it didn't work and the only useful information in the uxlaunch log was regarding a Consolekit error.

Code:

Error: Unable to open session with ConsoleKit: org.freedesktop.CkConnector.Error: Unable to open session: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules;
type="method_call", sender=":1.6" (uid=1000 pid=974 comm="uxlaunch) interface="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager" member="OpenSessionWithParameters" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" (uid=0 pid=1240 comm="/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon))

I think this means I need to change the user privileges somehow but I'm out of my depth here.

I didn't plan to include the uxlaunch stuff in xbmc-pvr. karmic and lucid don't have it and couldn't be upgraded.

new packages have been published (odk18) without uxlaunch.

Hello,

Thank you for the good work done.

I have just updated to the last available version (odk34) and I have the problem with Lucid. (the uxlaunch package is considered as a mandatory dependency for the xbmc-live package then I can't install it)

[BurningSky]

Since uxlaunch is included in odk34 my USB-drives don't longer automount.

Just tried to update lucid build from odk and its still there as a dependency

[opdenkamp]

it's in xbmc-packaging, so it got included in the pvr build too (same as last time).
I'll ask theuni whether I should use the old xbmc-packaging without uxlaunch or provide an uxlaunch build for lucid too.

Hi,

I am running into the uxlaunch issue as well after updating, how can I revert back to the previous version of your package (if possible at all)?

Thanks,
Ruud

Didn´t try it but wouldn´t it be possible to launch xbmc directly without xbmc-live package by making an startscript in the right runlevel directory?

You can do the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove xbmc-live uxlaunch -y; sudo apt-get install xbmc-standalone -y
sudo nano /etc/init/xbmc.conf

Now paste this into the xbmc.conf:

Code:

# xbmc-standalone
description "Autostart XBMC"

start on (filesystem and stopped udevtrigger)
stop on runlevel [06]

task
console output
emits starting-x

script
su xbmc -c "startx /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xbmc-standalone"
end script

ezechiel1917's advice is the easiest way to roll back, but you don't even need to fully roll back to the previous version of xbmc, only of xbmc-live.

Go to the apt archives folder as indicated and just run the deb file for xbmc-live, something like:

cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
sudo dpkg -i xbmc-live..etc...etc...odk30.deb

I did this last night - got a warning/error that the xbmc-live deb didn't fully configure/unpackage correctly, but rebooted and the pc now correctly boots into xbmc live. I checked and I'm running the latest odk34 version of xbmc too...

Cheers,
Adam.

Hi ezechiel,
thanks for your info but unfortunately in an attempt (*banging head to wall*) to fix the error I erased the cache with an autoclean

@burningsky: your method doesn't work, unable to install xbmc-standalone due to unmet dependencies?

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  xbmc-standalone: Depends: xbmc-data (= 2:11.0-pvr+odk14~git20110324.28a2544~ppa+odk14~lucid)
                   Depends: xbmc-skin-confluence (= 2:11.0-pvr+odk14~git20110324.28a2544~ppa+odk14~lucid)

any other way?
regards,
Ruud.

Ruud, I'm assuming you want the i386 build? If so, you can grab old individual .deb files from launchpad.net. Here's the xbmc-live .deb for the prevous (odk30) build: https://launchpad.net/~lars-opdenkamp/+a...id_all.deb

Alternatively, there are other previous builds here: https://launchpad.net/~lars-opdenkamp/+a...tate=built
