it used to be /media/usb/ and also XBMC File Manager showed my usb drive always in the root list on 1.0a5. Now it's not there.

This is a big change cos now everything has a different location


edit: about the time in the log, yes I completely forgot to set the correct timezone! :O
But the cronjob in the log is weird, this is a clean install, I didn't set any cronjobs yet.

if you was fine with usb, it means you have just one ext hdd (otherwise it would be constantly changing). so, feel free to create a line in fstab for the driver with mount point /media/usb.

or, change default mountpoint in /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf LINKDIR="/media" to for instance LINKDIR="/mnt", this way /media directory won't get cleared of symlinks and do a symlink with name "usb" in /media pointing to /mnt/usb0. Or to /media/Storage-*FULLUUID*.

and regarding the cronjobs, there are already some on clean system. don't be scared of them.

Thanks mk01, I will take a look at it and run the script and will try to mail you the zip. Although I don't know how to get it of the pi yet.
sorry for being a n00b.
Will try the filezilla option from http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/14573/2585

here are the four lines I added to /etc/fstab

please greb http://ivka57.dyndns-ip.com/a.sh with wget and run it under sudo.

send me resulting file /tmp/setup.xbian.tar.gz to matuskral @ me com

if you keep locale as eng, the bug is not appearing ?

Thanks for the tip, I simply did:
xbian@xbian /media $ sudo ln -s /media/usb0 usb

And now its ok again. I want to create an image later and deploy it for friends and families RPis so I want to keep it generic, thats why I don't want to use UUID for now. If anyone connects more usb drives it will be accessible via usb1, usb2 etc so thats fine.

I have a 256M model, with 1.0beta1 and 1.0beta1.1, I experiencing the issue of freezing when xbmc display the movie list. I noticed the "btrfs-endio-1" process use too much cpu load. btw, I already used "partswap" parameter in cmdline.txt, no effect.

With a5 it looks like "236.6Gb" in the Files menu.

so .default. will do it.

put this in sysctl.conf

net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects = 0

It worked on ipsec

After reboot clock is still not updating, but I can set it up manually. Issue with NTP?

Before, XBian 1.0 Alpha 5 fstab worked with:
192.168.2.137:/media/HD3/incoming /home/xbian/nfs nfs defaults,user,auto,noatime,intr 0 0

Now, with beta 1.1 fails. Which is the bug?

Thanks in advanced

I have exactly the same issue!
it looks a bit like https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/391

my fstab looks like this:

// the usual stuff here and this is the custom part:
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

and got the awk error then

try adding _netdev and nobootwait parameters.

so it would look like

192.168.1.133:/mnt/HD_a2/shared/Movies /public/Movies nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr,_netdev,nobootwait 0 0

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

Did anyone get that to work?

The fix recommended in the github post did not fix it for me either. To be specific, the iPhone does not see XBian as an airplay receiver, it's not broadcasting.

My /etc/modules file:

Code:

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.
# Parameters can be specified after the module name.

frandom

My /etc/init/dbus.conf file:

Code:

# dbus - D-Bus system message bus
#
#
# The D-Bus system message bus allows system daemons and user applications
# to communicate.

description     "D-Bus system message bus"

start on local-filesystems and started frandom
stop on deconfiguring-networking

expect fork
respawn

pre-start script
    mkdir -p /var/run/dbus
    chown messagebus:messagebus /var/run/dbus

    exec dbus-uuidgen --ensure
end script

exec dbus-daemon --system --fork

post-start exec kill -USR1 1

post-stop exec rm -f /var/run/dbus/pid

After executing the fix from the github post, both dbus and avahi-daemon still did not start (according to xbian-config) despite the "Autostart" option.

so you RPI never gets proper date ?

did you try the other option? - modifying dbus start stanza by removing the frandom dependency as it is here properly?

of course you can, but the directory for symlinks get's cleaned on device add / remove and restart, so I just wanted to be correct in that sense.

the solution is up to you, that way it has been changed, everybody wanted it differently and static were possible only through fstab edit. so feel free.

maybe for beta I will add parameter for naming convention, so one would choose even how the folder name will be created.

can you check lsattr listing for /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata and /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/Databases ?

https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-update/blob/master/content/var/tmp/xbian_update/files_to_overwrite/etc/init/dbus.conf

That did it. To be clear, merge the new dbus.conf and remove "frandom" from /etc/modules.

Thanks.
