Well I have to say i have searched allot but allot to do this, but still going crazy, I am hopping someone kind will be able to guide me or help me sort this out.

I have put a button on the main screen that should shutoff xbmc and run startx. now if I do it manually on ssh works great. I have managed to make a py file with the code, but either xbmc shuts off, or desktop starts but does not show since xbmc is up, and that is depending wich I put on top...

here is how far I have gone, and still no success. I guess the big problem is that my second line of os.system does not start not sure why, and second is that they would need to run at the same time. I hope you all understood my problem. Tongue

THANKKKSSSSSSS for all your help..

OH AND BEFORE YOU READ FURTHER.... I AM A NOOB... Blush

Code:

import os

mypass = 'raspberry'

sudo_command1 = 'startx'

sudo_command2 = 'sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc stop'

P = os.system('echo %s|sudo -S %s' % (mypass, sudo_command1))

P = os.system('echo %s|sudo -S %s' % (mypass, sudo_command2))

create a script (executable, in xbians home dir for example)

chmod +x script

put inside :

#!/bin/sh

sudo pkill xbmc.bin
sudo pkill splash
sleep 10

sudo startx

from inside xvmc execute just this one script
