Can i have one too?

Awesome work guys!!!!

Great work fellas. Upgrade seemed to go fine ( albeit with the no-ip.com errors) System has rebooted, love the loading scroll bar. Only problem is my system is stuck with the loading bar at 100% and "loading" still showing. I have tried rebooting ( yes, I know this is not Windows) but it's still the same.

BTW , I tried posting my feedback here but I am assuming that the thread is locked to Admins/Mods. Plaese move this if I missed the official A5 feedback thread.

Can you try replacing the content of /boot/cmdline.txt with:
Reboot, and share any errors with us.

Just to let you know that I encountered the following problem after upgrading from alpha 4 to alpha 5.

I used apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade and rebooted the pi, and after the text output of the boot it just gave me a blank screen.

ssh on the box revealed that xbmc could not start, '/etc/init.d/xbmc start' gave the following error message:

/usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtag.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I could start xbmc from the ssh shell as root using the following commands:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
/etc/init.d/xbmc start

That works and I now can enjoy alpha 5 in all its splendor

I guess I could just edit the xbmc start script and add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH export...

Thanks for reporting

Hi there! Thanx for bringing xbian out :-)

Just tested out the brand new alpha 5:

An update didn't work, the progressbar got stuck at 100% and no xbmc. Tried a fresh install, and so far it mostly runs fine.

It turned out that most of my beloved plugins either wasn't available, could not get installed due to missing dependencies or did not work when installed. Is there any solution to this problem?

In the mean time I will go back to Alpha 4 where my plugins work.

What plugings and what dependencies?

After upgrading to alpha 5 using 'apt dist-upgrade' I noticed that my TV remote is not working anymore in XBMC.

Checking what might be the problem I'm noticing this:
xbian@redbox:/usr/local/lib# pwd
/usr/local/lib
xbian@redbox:/usr/local/lib# ls -lrt libcec*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 994 Nov 11 18:57 libcec.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 15 Nov 11 18:57 libcec.so -> libcec.so.2.0.0

It appears the libcec is in fact missing in action!
Any advice how to solve? Should I apt-get install something manually?

I get the following error when trying to get update with

apt-get update

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Those mirrors are down and are removed once you update to alpha 5

I have rebooted my Raspberry Pi twice and now for some reason the missing plugins are back and working Hurray!

As an example 'MTV.de' and 'NRK Nett-tv' was missing and 'Rockpalast.de' would not install (xbmc said dependencies was missing).

Code:

sudo su
cd /usr/local/lib
ln -s libcec.so libcec.so.2

Right, but that will not solve anything as /usr/local/lib/libcec.so.2 does not exist.

The only files matching libcec* on the pi after the upgade are:
