New issue here: after adding mk01's repo, installing xbian-update and upgrading, the pi doesn't shut down (neither from gui nor from ssh) I've read it can be a Xbmc 12.2 problem but I'm not sure if it would affect power off when "shutdown -h now" from ssh...
And it's strange. When I did a reboot or shutdown in ssh the connection stopped. Now the terminal keeps open (althought I can't write anything)

yes, I found one small issue, if you have /etc/init/avahi-daemon and /etc/init/dbus, do

"insserv -r /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon; insserv -r /etc/init.d/dbus"

or apt-get update; apt-get upgrade. it's fixed in the package.

(A note about my setup, and induced constraints: I only have a rpi, and a macbook. So direct usb-keyboard access to the rpi is not doable. Moreover, macosx only reads the vfat /boot partition, and the sdcard reader of the mac is not available to virtual machines (e.g. to let a linux VM mount the btrfs) ...it's SO frustrating!)

- remove loglevel=0 as well

- indeed I use usb sticks / sd cards in VM under mac with no issues. but I have parallels. 70$. worth the money. but usb keyboard is cheaper

if you use Virtualbox, it should be possible to dd the whole disk (or in mac with disk utils). create img and mount it as hdd to virtualbox session. if not

use loop devices with offset parameter.

losetup /dev/loop0 /path_to_dd_file --offset 1048576
losetup /dev/loop1 /path_to_dd_file --offset 36700160

so loop0 will be mmcblk0p1
and loop1 partition2

I resized the btrfs partition, added a 256 mb linux-swap partition at the end of the sd card, edited /etc/fstab to mount that swap partition, and edited /etc/init/zram-swap.conf so that it doesn't create of mount /var/swapfile.

on git is zram-swap which uses swap partition(s) if found, loop is fallback.

can you test ? feel free to adapt.
