Official XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1 thread

[Fred]

I was already triggered, but thanks

[wifi86]

Hi there,

I just try to update from beta 1 to the new 1.1 version and I get an error similar to the one Jehali has said but with the ifupdown interface, any ideas how to solve it? 'cos i can only think of trying a fresh install...

[zilexa]

Just fyi, I made a ticket at Flexget cos I cannot imagine it can be XBian causing the issue.
http://flexget.com/ticket/2110
After installing Paver, I could install Flexget. I have no idea what Paver is and why it is necessary. Also there were still 2 failures at the end of the installation so I will keep investigating.

yes, because alpha5 was forcing "C". so ignored local rpi system settings, ignored terminal session lang settings from client.

LC_CTYPE is setting for numbers formats etc, isn't it possible that you have in mac custom format set ??? this is one possibility.

or some enforcement in ~/.profile after installation if MACPORTS or similar???

hmm I must have installed something in the last few months. No problem I'll try changing it to C. Just wanted to be sure it's not caused by XBian. Thanks!

Hello wifi86

Yes I did this:

sudo insserv -f rpcbind (without the qoutes !)

then:

apt-get -f install

then continued with successfull update.

hard to know what you mean, but. on alpha5, eth0 wasn't listed in /etc/network/interfaces as "auto". ad1) it was working ad2) due to bugs in debians scripts, under some conditions it was even needed like this.

since upstart, this is heading back to documented workflow so if eth0 is not listed as "auto" interface, standard ifup run will not trigger it.

beta2 is correcting this (adding eth0 to "auto" to /etc/network/interfaces) so file should look like this:

Code:

auto lo
auto eth0
.
.
.

or simply

Code:

auto lo eth0

more or less those errors you encountered are not affecting the program itself on the xbian.

it only means, that the output of the messages would be like as you requested, but it's not possible, because your desired format is not available.

Same issue.. is there a solution for that ?

I've got another issue, each time xbmc lists the movies the rpi freezes and can't do anything expect power OFF/ON.

I did a fresh install, same thing.

When I browse by genre there is fewer movies and no hang.
Sometimes the issue comes when am scraping a movie.

Beta 1.1 is almost perfect for me.. I need to tell you guys are doing a very impressive work. Thanks a lot for that.

ok, someone already reported memory eating. can you edit /etc/sysctl.conf and remove lines:

kernel.msgmax = 65536
kernel.msgmnb = 65536
kernel.sem = 250 256000 32 1024

then reboot.
of course be sure you don't have the 256mb model and zram-swap version lower than 1.0-3.1 !

Hi,
I did a fresh install with Beta 1.1 now and my Wifi Stick doesn't work here.

The Xbian Config says scanning wlan0 and after that the window disappears.

In which log file do I have to look?

Thats from dmesg:

so you are referring to xbian config XBMC, not SHELL, right? please state this directly next time.

and the issue, I have the feeling Iridium already reported (or someone). please check issue list on github (for xbmc-package-config-xbmc) and create issue there if not present.

I have no clue of xbmc python programming, so we have to trigger Belese (author).

thanks

I've tried the Airplay fix that mk01 recommended here https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/423 but it made no difference. Xbian is not broadcast. Have confirmed that Airplay is enabled after running the following code:

sudo -i
echo "frandom" >> /etc/modules; sync; reboot

Did anyone get that to work?

I did it but still the same issue.
About my Pi, it's a 512 but for zram-swap am not sure how to find the version? (went into Xbian config and when I select information nothing appears).

Thanks for your help

Code:

xbian-package-zram-swap:
  Installed: 1.0-3.1
  Candidate: 1.0-3.1
  Version table:
*** 1.0-3.1 0

After some tests am experiencing exactly the same issue: freezing when xbmc display the movie list. :/

[jphellemons]

Hi, I upgraded from alpha 5 and it stopped at moving root and could not ssh to it anymore.

so I decided to do a fresh install. Everything works, but when I modify my /etc/fstab for my nfs shares and change locale to dutch and reboot, it does not start xbmc anymore.
then there is some bracket error at awk

Quote:awk line 1 syntax [

so when I remove the lines from /etc/fstab it works again.
here are the four lines I added to /etc/fstab

Code:

192.168.1.133:/mnt/HD_a2/shared/Movies /public/Movies nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0
192.168.1.133:/mnt/HD_a2/shared/Music /public/Music nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0
192.168.1.133:/mnt/HD_a2/shared/Pictures /public/Pictures nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0
192.168.1.133:/mnt/HD_a2/shared/TV\040Shows /public/TV nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr 0 0

Hi Jehali,

thanks for the tip, when I get home I'll try that, 'cos I read about the first command "insserv -f..." but I don't know why I just thought after that should be executed the "atp-get install xbian-update" and with that i got the same problem...

Again thank you and I'll tell you about the result.
