RE: [HOW-TO] Install in BerryBoot
What is wrong?
What I do: - install xbian on sd card (download image, dd to sd card) - start pi and let it do its stuff (expand etc) - login via ssh - sudo dd bs=1M if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/pathtomyexternalusbdriveattachedtothepi/out.img go back to my laptop with my usbdrive. - sudo kpartx -av /pathtomyexternalusbdriveattachedtothepi/out.img - sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop2p2 /mnt now what I get: bref@Bref-wan:~$ tree -L 2 /mnt /mnt ├── home │ ├── @ │ └── @safe └── root ├── @ └── @safe meaning something went strange and I cannot go on with changing fstab, mksquashfs etc. cheers |

I had no idea about the btrfs and subvolumes. One step closer to my raspify/xbian pi ![]() |

RE: [HOW-TO] Install in BerryBoot
@coloxim
just short info until I upload the packages (later today), but: current XBian deb packages (and content) is fine tuned to such extend that it is possible to download download public Raspbian image and with stock config without any mods or edits you can install XBian packages (as you would install any other simple application available from raspbian / debian repo. then you can either manually have full control over starting x-windows (with FB browser etc) or xbmc. or you can choose to have XBian set booting to X-Windows as user pi by default. then if you just re-login as user XBian, XBMC will be started. and after XBMC quit, you are again in X-Windows. of course without reboot or console fidling. this is often requested by the users so you don't have to care about two separated systems - but if it is not suitable for you, you choose to host another system on standalone partition, drive or subvolume on XBian's btrfs filesystem. then if cmdline.txt contains "bootmenu" XBian's during early boot searches all attached drives (SD cards, sticks, USB external drives) for user boot configuration (boot netry). then it lets you to pick one and boot it. you will find details under section Installation in few hours. mk Please read rules and do a search before you post! .

But if I use in berryboot and raspbian without startx (if I want x-windows I've to write stratx because in rasp-confing I don't want autoboot in desktop) so I'm using it from terminal(command line), can I install .deb? If I didn't understand don't be angry, I'm not expert, and English is not my language.. Thanks |

RE: [HOW-TO] Install in BerryBoot
how you will start the programs it is solely up to you…
you flash raspbian, you configure basic things through raspi-config, then set boot to console only. you installs XBian packages and nothing extra will happen. you restart, you will se the same as before. when XBian is installed on top of raspian then XBMC is not set to autostart.
