config.txt has hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 in file, buts its ignored so when I turn on Pi, TV gets switched over to its HDMI channel - worked fine in alpha5

Resolved.

As well as the line in config.txt, I had to go into XBMC Settings, Peripherals, CEC, and untick the "Make XBMC the active source"

Xbian 1.0 is on the cards - it will be Gotham with a few little extras. Due to the work done - mainly by @mk01 - upgrading is easy, as dependencies have almost been eliminated (FLW).

Beta 2 is as stable as any Xbian I have had the pleasure to work on, so we will build on that.

I definitely agree with this statement. I will go as far as saying Beta 2 has been the most stable OS I've ran since getting my first Raspberry! Awesome work guys!

Code:

sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.99:Media /mnt/test
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.99:Media

This is the content of /etc/exports on my synology (which as been ok for 1.1)

Code:

/volume1/Media  *(rw,async,no_wdelay,insecure,no_root_squash,sec=sys,anonuid=0,anongid=0)~

this would be one of the issues which are appearing with updates to base system .there is already one discussion regarding nfs and strange changes in the packages (portmap, nfslibs etc).

just quick look to your mount and export. I assume your synology is creating this as nfs3/2 export, … but your command syntax is asking for nfs4 to try first. Definitely what will be tried at the beginning is /media on synology and nfs4.


I'm fine with the permission denied in such case. try mounting "192.168.1.99:/volume1/Media" ?

From 'ps ax' after I run lircd the running command is simply 'lircd' with no trailing arguments.

ok isn't this caused by the -u parameter (when used by lirc)? two-three posts have been there about it already.

It is caused by the -u parameter, it should be removed.

@CurlyMo,

any comment to -u (uinput) usage there ? It has been always there since I remember. I don't want to break lirc again.

Some of the scripts calculate the package size by running the following command.

Code:

printf "Installed-Size: %d\n" $(du -s ./content | awk '{print $1}') >> ./content/DEBIAN/control

This will generate a wrong installed size for a package.

true. you are right.

and it is not the only bug there. that's why packages with significant size and content causing the bugs to realize (spaces in file names, binaries & libs are not always stripped before packaging - others I don't remember) had the script updated some time ago already. those "lucky" packages have always been xbmc, kernel, headers, … this gen.package script should have been distributed to other packages …

will happen latest with moving beta2 to pub - and packages with wrong info file repacked.

Terminal

apt-get -f install

which fixed the issue. A week or two ago when I tried (what i thought was) the same procedure I got a different result. Either way, resolution is documented for posterity.

yes, … because based on feedback like yours and some others (very old versions going to be updated or too much dep changes for new packages - or too strict deps in new) we are updating also the control files for deb packages now and then and not only to reflect latest XBian's versions of packages - but also to help APT to choose different order while installing debs or to mitigate number of kept back for older installs etc.

If i remove it from the lirc_rpi hardware file, it still works. Can't test the others. If you're not sure, you can just remove the -u parameter from those hardware files users have tested. In this case, removing the -u from the lirc_rpi.conf is a safe removal.

Another tip i just came across. If you want to manually compare apt versions you can use this script: http://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/host/opkg-utils/opkg-compare-versions.c
My implementation is far inferior to this one.

I do, thanks for linking.

The updates succeeded. Great to hear the upgrade beta2 has been released! Hope the full install version/image will be released soon as well.

[Smultie]

Do we need to change anything (most likely repos?) to get on the released version of Beta 2?

Change back to the default XBian repo.

[CurlyMo]

The latest apt is quite a mess

1.
In this link you can see the InRelease, Package, etc file. Those files
should only be in the http://xbian.brantje.com/dists/ folder.

2. The Package files in the dists/devel and dists/staging folders are empty.

3. The root devel folder is a symlink to itself.

4. I've you have used my latest update.sh code, you don't need to change the gpg keys.

[danell]

So... Would you sugest to go back to the original repo and update now or wait until they are done?

LOL, in other words wait until things are straightened out.
