OK, so I tried the following:
sudo -i
apt-get update
apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly

But is says it is unable to locate the package. Any ideas? It manages to read the package list ok.

Thanks for your help! Very much appreciated. Really wanting to test XBMC with a DVBLink PVR addon that I know works on Gotham on a Windows laptop hence the effort.

Well that definitely should have worked. Hmm... What version of Xbian are you currently running? What is in your /etc/apt/sources.list file?

Beta 1. Looks like I need to upgrade to Beta 2...

Okay, belese is right, beta2 is the xbian version that is going to include the gotham nightly. So you have a couple choices. You can restore your original XBMC with this command:

sudo apt-get -s install --reinstall xbian-package-xbmc

You can backup your userdata folder and then upgrade to Xbian beta2. This is my recommendation because it is extremely stable and has a lot of new features which enhance the overall performance. Follow the link in belese's post above to the beta2 thread. Once on beta2 you can install the xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly, and then upgrade to my PVR enhanced version. I will be posting a new version tonight, and I plan to include a debian package to make installation easier.

Yes, just followed the link he posted and managed to upgrade to Beta 2. XBMC nightly now installing.

Man, I've gone from zero Linux to this in a couple of hours. My brain hurts! But thanks to you both for your help!! Massively appreciated..

I tried installing over my Gotham installation and it broke it, complained about glx.

The glx error sounds like it is having a conflict with the OpenGL ES version. Are you using xbian beta2? Are all your packages up to date?

Everything is up to date and I am running beta 2.

Here is what I get while attempting to run:

I get the same thing on the 'updated' package mk01 pushed to the apt repo.

Try this start command:

/usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin --standalone -fs --lircdev /run/lirc/lircd

You can't do that, it fails with libhal.so

I ran this from a remote ssh session. When running 'xbmc' and 'xbmc-standalone' I get the same errors you describe. But when I run '/usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin' it starts right up:


Can you post your output from this command:

/usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin

I will tell you what it boils down to, libhal1 and libhal-storage aren't required dependencies of the last version of the xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly (koenkk's package) or the previous frodo package.

The current Gotham nightly requires libhal1 but mk01 missed the dependency in the package he just uploaded.

The latest Frodo package requires and installs libhal1 and libhal-storage.

Long story short mk01 needs to add libhal1 and libhal-storage requirement to the latest Gotham nightly package. You need to add it to the OP so others don't have to go through all this

Thanks for your contribution.

Thank you for helping track down the missing dependency. I'll add it to the OP.

No problem, I messaged @mk01 to let him know of the issue also.

OP updated with better installation instructions.

done adding them again 2.9-10.14a at repo

do we know why they reappeared ?

i remember like yesterday when I was checking binaries with ldd and gotham was no libhal dependent.

btw: not so important at all, just curious

I believe it is set to 'auto' in the configure file. You have to explicitly use the --disable-hal option.

@theimmortal

can be with the default configure options, but of course we have own build process with own options. so probably this was changed without notice.

Hey!

I've been trying to setup an Xbian system today and ran into some problems. An addon I'm using (SVT Play) seems to be working much better with Gotham than frodo thus I upgraded to Gotham. But I can't get the Xbian-Config to work with the gotham version. Is this a know issue (been googling without luck) or is it just me? I've tried updating all packages, purging and reinstalling the xbian-package-config-xbmc package and more.

When I selected Xbian-Config a loading screen appears and it hits (at least) %96 before xbmc restarts it self. Nothing interesting in the logs, this is the last printout before rollover:
19:05:13 T:2933527616 NOTICE: XBian : XBian-config started

Anybody have an idea what to try?
