Forum

After several unsuccessful attempts to compile xbmc on raspberry (the last went without error to the end but the raspberry then refused to reboot)

As I'm a bit tired of spending two days in attempts, more reinstallations of xbian during crashes. So I came to this forum to ask if someone had managed this feat could give me the "deb" of xbmc or "img" disk image of xbian with support dvdcss, optical-drive and CEC.

Thank you in advance for your help!

- Our instructions on how to compile XBMC can be found here: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/wiki/Compiling-XBMC-&-XBMC-dependencies
- XBMC is compiled with optical drive, dvdcss and cec by default

I followed these instructions and as I said, that I've just crashed the system to the point of having to reinstall everything.
Moreover, in all the forums I've read, it is said that xbmc is not compiled with libdvdcss and optical-drive on raspberry ... I'm wrong?

It should because of:

Btw where are you stuck at compiling XBMC?

That's the rub, I made the whole compilation, without errors, according to the information on this page:
https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/wiki/Compiling-XBMC-&-XBMC-dependencies
I then rebooted and then I had the right to a multicolored screen (such that http://typo.thomaslexcellent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Espace-de-couleurs.jpg) and a shade of gray and then nothing. My screen has even put on standby due to the absence of signal ...

That is why I want a functional version "img" xbian of which I could read a DVD to see if the error come from my hardware ...

Note that the installation of dependencies required me to remove "xbian-update" ...

Thats probably because of the overclock, u should reduce the core_freq to 250 and arm_freq to 700

Tip: use a separate sd card for compiling

Little question that have nothing to see, I bought another SD card to compile and test. I wanted to make a copy of the original for not reinstall everything by doing:
sudo dcfldd if=/dev/sdb of=save_xbian-20130423.img
on the orininal SD and
sudo dcfldd of=/dev/sdb if=save_xbian-20130423.img
on the new.

The problem is that if I plug the new SD card in the raspberry and I back on, nothing happens. Checking the contents of the card, it seems that only the first partition can be read. There was an error with the other...
[232694.472590] EXT4-fs (sdb2): bad geometry: block count 1962496 exceeds size of device (1956864 blocks)
Where is my mistake?

You need to fsck that partition
