(5th Feb, 2014 06:31 AM)Airwolfuk Wrote: [ -> ]Upgraded to RC1 and been running ok until tonight. I was messing around with overclocking and now my pi gets stuck at init process screen. I did also mess a bit with config.txt to try and get back to 'normal'

Any ideas before I start from a fresh install ?

Update: I reformatted the SD Card and did a fresh install.

Thanks

For future reference...
I also got stuck at the 'init' screen when I turbo'd the Pi, and I think I read on here it happened to someone else also. I just plugged the SD into my laptop, and reduced the over-clocking in the config file manually.
Xbian booted fine again afterwards, no need to start from scratch.

Hello ! I need help to configure samba.

With the old version, I changed the smb.conf in /etc/samba but then there are inscribed that should not be changed and I do not know where to put my config file:

Code:

[global]

   workgroup = WORKGROUP

   server string = %h server

   wins support = yes

   dns proxy = no

   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

   max log size = 1000

   syslog = 0

   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

   security = user

   encrypt passwords = true

   passdb backend = tdbsam

   obey pam restrictions = yes

   unix password sync = yes

   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .

   pam password change = yes

   invalid users = root

   domain master = yes

   local master = yes

   os level = 66

    follow symlinks = yes

    wide links = yes

    unix extensions = no

[xbian]

    path = /home/xbian

    guest ok = no

    read only = yes

    browseable = yes

    valid users = @xbian

    write list = @xbian

[system-logs]

    path = /var/log

    guest ok = no

    read only = yes

    force user = xbian

    [devices]

    guest ok = no

    browsable = yes

    path = /media

    read only = yes

    valid users = @guest, @xbian

    write list = @xbian

Thanks in advance.

hi @Livi59 try shares.conf in /etc/samba

if you login with WinSCP you will see all the files in /etc/samba

i copy all of my conf in shares.conf or only the second part?

does anyone know how you can go back to the old .xbian-package-cec samsung tv,s not work any more

if you have auto updates enabled you can easily go back to the date before you installed the new package.

I tried putting part with shared folders in share.conf and my [global] personalized user.conf but it did not work ... Windows (W7) always told me that I do not have permission.

@Levi59: I also have problems with write permission on my external HDD connected to my RPi on XBian RC1 Sad

so it seems to be more of a global issue rather than your fault.

I had that problem, I again dnt know what I did but I looked into the usbmount.conf in /etc/usbmount edit some fields and reboot to see if it works, mine asks for user and pass, then I can write to external hdd over samba

It seems that the problem was W7. After a reboot, everything works but I put my config in the "smb.conf" as I was not sure where to put them ...

On the other hand I have another more annoying problem though ... XBMC is very slow, it even freezes regularly when I do a scan and it is extremely slow. It took me 1 hour to add 15 episodes of a series with the nfo and images already on the disc.

You'll see that it is slow because it is 94% wait state. I'd have a look at your smb config.

---------- NEW ENTRY ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upgraded 08/02/2014 - Adding videos - Cancel does not cancel the add but add's the entry anyway.

Add video -> SMB -> Workgroup -> Folder -> Ok -> Ok -> (Bit where it want's to know the content) <Cancel> the drive gets added to the list.

The screen prior to this (Where you name the folder) works as expected.

I'm not quite sure I understand (I'm french so I'm excused: p) but here is my situation:
Xbian seems to be slow (much slower) in beta2.
I went from beta1 to 2 because I burnt my previous SD ... My first reaction was to change the config.txt,

Code:

#initramfs initramfs.gz  0x00a00000

gpu_mem_512=256

gpu_mem_256=128

initial_turbo=1

disable_splash=1

decode_MPG2=xxxxxxxxx

emmc_pll_core=0

arm_freq=900

core_freq=333

sdram_freq=450

over_voltage=2

the advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>

   <network>

        <cachemembuffersize>20971520</cachemembuffersize>

   </network>

   <importwatchedstate>true</importwatchedstate>

   <lookandfeel>

   </lookandfeel>

   <bginfoloadermaxthreads>5</bginfoloadermaxthreads>

   <videolibrary>

         <hideallitems>true</hideallitems>

   </videolibrary>

   <video>

     <adjustrefreshrate>

       <override>

         <fps>23.976</fps>

         <refresh>24.0</refresh>

       </override>

    </gui>

    <destroywindowcontrols>0</destroywindowcontrols>

    <useddsfanart>0</useddsfanart>

        <loglevel hide="true">-1</loglevel>

</advancedsettings>

and reactivate smb (not knowing where to put my file, I put everything in the smb.conf but I kept a copy of the original)

Code:

[global]

   workgroup = WORKGROUP

   server string = %h server

   wins support = yes

   dns proxy = no

   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

   max log size = 1000

   syslog = 0

   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d

   security = user

   encrypt passwords = true

   passdb backend = tdbsam

   obey pam restrictions = yes

   unix password sync = yes

   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssucces$

   pam password change = yes

   invalid users = root

   domain master = yes

   local master = yes

   os level = 66

    follow symlinks = yes

    wide links = yes

    unix extensions = no

[xbian]

    path = /home/xbian

    guest ok = no

    read only = yes

    browseable = yes

    force user = xbian

    valid users = @xbian

    write list = @xbian

[system-logs]

    path = /var/log

    guest ok = no

    read only = yes

    force user = root

[devices]

    guest ok = no

    browsable = yes

    path = /media

    read only = yes

    force user = xbian

    valid users = @guest, @xbian

    write list = @xbian

but not succeeding to enter under W7 (I realized later that the error came from Windows7) I started the scan (after a reboot). This is where I saw the shabby flow scan.

Now if you know where the problem is, I'm all ears because I do not understand at all what the problem is.

I did a clean install of beta 2 using Windows installer. During the first start wizard I chose Update. The process ended with an error (screenshot will be added). Then I was asked to reboot. Now, it has shown "starting xbmc..." For 7minutes, sometimes the screen goes black and then back to the "starting xbmc" screen.

Too bad, it has been over 2months since I did a clean install. This shows me xbian is still not stable enough, a simple clean install should at least work, right? I didn't overclock or do anything.

I had similar problems on a clean install, using SSH I had to install all updates and reboot twice and now all is good

OK, I am doing that now, running all commands from the Update window, Apt-Get Upgrade is running now.
But I also see this, whether I am on my phone (JuiceSSH app) or on the pc (Putty). I have this on all my RPis after clean Beta2 install. This looks bad:
