Broken After 2.1 Update

[hobogiggedy]

Last night I got a pop-up within XBMC saying that there was a new update to 2.1 available. I went ahead and updated it figuring, probably wrongly, that if the message was coming up in XBMC it was safe to go ahead.

Since the update was applied the Pi froze, rebooted and is now stuck on the XBian splash screen. I can still ssh into the Pi and everything else seems to be running normally. Is there any way to roll back the XBMC installation or otherwise fix it without reinstalling the lot? I have a lot of custom scripts and such running on this Pi and it would take me quite a while to get it all set up again.

Any help would be great!

Can you execute

Code:

sudo /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin

paste the output (if it outputs something here).

[hobogiggedy]

It doesn't output anything in the terminal and the video output is still stuck on the splash screen.

What does the splash screen say, and whats the output of

Code:

sudo dpkg -l | grep libc

[hobogiggedy]

That command produces the output below. The splash screen says 'Starting XBMC...' and the loading bar is moving smoothly and continuously.

Can you try reinstalling the package?

Code:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-xbmc

That's seems to have done the trick. I had to run the below command (from memory) before it would work.

sudo dpkg - - configure - a

Thank you so much for your help.

I should probably start another thread but, is there a way to teenage CEC? I had previously disabled it through xbian-config.

You cannot disable check through xbian-config

[hobogiggedy]

Seems like predictive got the best of me. Teenage should be reenable. You certainly can disable CEC through xbian-config but I (hopefully) managed to reenable it through the Xbian menu within XBMC.

[CurlyMo]

Ah, you mean the hardware CEC implementation, i though you meant the XBMC CEC addon.
