Official XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1 thread

[shiquanwang]

Before installing xbian, I'm very interested to know if the TL-WN725N works out of the box with XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1 or not.

If not, is there a clear guide about how to solve the issue?

Many thanks.

This did the trick for me:

Code:

sudo insserv -d urandom

That turns the urandom daemon on by default, which is what the error message was complaining about. Earlier XBian versions probably had it disabled as part of cutting the system down to the bare minimum.

Thanks.

I ran into a number issues with my beta 1 to beta 1.1 upgrade, made using apt-get:

• I had the ifupdown upgrade failure a few other people experienced, though mine was failing due to the urandom service not running rather than rpcbind. Forcing it beyond that fixed the install, though my system got stuck during the reboot and I had to wait until I got home to power cycle it.[/li]
• On restart my MCE remote didn't work, which has been an issue since moving from alpha 5 to beta 1. My workaround has been to manually restart the xbmc service so it's picked up from lirc correctly. However...
• I found the ssh service wasn't running, so I couldn't connect remotely to fix it. So I plugged in a keyboard and manually quit xbmc so I could get at a command prompt. However...
• On exit from xbmc the splash screen never disappeared, so I couldn't get at a command prompt. I managed to work around this by changing the "allow ssh as root" setting in the Xbian section of XBMC, which forced the ssh service to be (re)started to apply the setting. The xbmc process was completely gone, so I don't know why the splash screen was sticking around. I killed it to get drop back to console. However...
• The primary console appeared to be held up late in startup, so I wasn't able to enter any commands. Also, the normal spare console on Alt-F2 wasn't running, so I couldn't use that either.
• Restarting xbmc from an ssh connection did get me back in, but the remote wasn't working as lirc hadn't started either. Starting that and restarting xbmc (using stop+start as restart doesn't work) finally got me back in with a working remote.
  

Certainly not the smoothest of updates for me this time! When I get time I'll try a fresh install of 1.1, as hopefully that'll be better.

In Beta 1.1 Xbian loses connection to the network after some 5-10 minutes. Even can not get it to connect via SSH. Does anyone have it so?

In Beta 1 network work fine

Anyone noticed zeroconf not working? I have posted already but posting again just in case.

I lose network connection with beta 1.1, but at seemingly random times - it has even happenen when xbmc isn't running, such as when I was copying files off the SD card via samba while the pi was sitting at the login prompt. I had upgraded this SD card (32Gb Patriot class 10) via apt-get from a clean install of beta 1... my other SD card (8Gb Samsung class 6) still has its own clean install of beta 1, and the network (ethernet) is fine with that install so that's what I've been using.

f1vefour, your "How to post log file?" link doesn't work, but if you let me know which log file(s) you want I can get them.

Apology, it was my fault. I was doing some maintenance on server. The links are now working.

Hi guys,

Is it possible to make a fresh install of version beta 1.1 without the problems, which people had on the beginning?

Thanks

there is source lying around which you can compile after installing xbian-kernel-header package and dev tools (http://forum.xbian.org/thread-1114-post-12697.html#pid12697)

we are compiling in the driver for beta2 kernel automatically, so will be included starting from beta2.

you can also install beta2 kernels over beta1.1 installation. you will need the xbian-package-kernel and xbian-package-initramfs-tools.

I've used the XbianInstaller for windows and put a Beta1.1 image on my SD card. Booted to Xbian fine, but when I exit the GUI to try and get a command line so I can configure the WLAN it gets stuck:

[ ok ] Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.
<blinking cursor>

Any ideas?

This is as far as I've got with it so far.

Thanks

@anthonyonions

log into xbian via ssh, do "sudo -i"

check /etc/rc2.d whether there are some file after S??ssh, or just S??rc.local (you can check this with "ls -la /etc/rc2.d"

if there is S??dbus or S??avahi-daemon after it, do:

Code:

insserv -rf /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon
insserv -rf /etc/init.d/dbus

then reboot

[anthonyonions]

ok will try and get the lan sorted with a wired connection tomorrow and give this a go and report back.
