Official XBian 1.0 Beta 1.1 thread

[mk01]

Just got idea:

console is starting in beta1 when those condition are met:
1) static network up
2) runlevel 2 scripts have all been processed

so if ssh was last and started, it must be 1) not completed. the system has "static-net-up" if all interfaces (lo, eth0, wlan0) marked as AUTO in /etc/network/interfaces are up (and configured).

so can happen, that for instance you configure eth0, then switches to wlan0 (without taking care of changing the eth0 as manual) and the console will not shown. this was standard debian setup.

so check this.

beta1 is changing approach of this so such cases should not happen.
