It looks I'm getting some kind of brain illness over the time, anyhow

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure ifplugd

is the right one.

By the way:
Would it be helpful when we look for an cheap hosting option, so that you don't need to host it on your private server?
Something like this (1€/month)?: https://uberspace.de/

this is not question of hosting or reliability. this is simply caused by changed package between your apt-get update and apt-get install [package].

so your package inventory list holds xbian-package-xbmc-scripts_1.0.1-3_armhf.deb but on my system is xbian-package-xbmc-scripts_1.0.1-4_armhf.deb already. as it is clearly told in the error message "apt-get update" should solve this. And it will.

the fuse problem is because of kernel & modules are completely different version after your manual "restore" to a very old one shot recovery package.

apt-get install —reinstall is dangerous thing if local package cache exists. and it exists although xbian settings for apt are trying to keep it minimal as possible. apt-get install —reinstall should be used ONLY if you want to re-install package version you already have on the system. apt-get install in that case throws error "newest version already exists". even then is best to use "apt-get clean" (and apt-get update) before you go to —reinstall.

with the system as you have it now, feel free to boot even with the manually restored kernel and initramfs, then from console run "apt-get clean; apt-get update; apt-get install xbian-package-kernel". if you get error "same version is installed" go for apt-get install —reinstall. as we deleted local apt cache (apt-get clean), proper deb package will be downloaded from repo and kernel package reinstalled.

No,serious... goid point so lets wait for him if he can move to our host

this is long been discussed with brantje, but I'm still waiting for ssh access. even when I get it, moving the repo will take a day which I don't have now.

of course once Beta2 is released all will be there automatically and whole development & release cycle of XBian will change - but this wasn't possible prior Beta2 (fix & update releases will not be dependent dependent and sometimes stuck by waiting for release of xbian-update with new version - that means shorter dev to market time).

still we plan to have second repo for nightly releases (as now is this one for Beta2) but always remember, this one test Beta2 repo was originally created with expectation of 10-20 people - reality is more than 200 distinct IPs per day.

isn't this the clock screensaver problem you was reporting to me within personal message?

what you can do is logging to RPI as xbian, from xbian home dir start xbmc manually with

Code:

/usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin --standalone -fs

if the crash is related to system (missing library or something else) you will see the error once xbmc.bin crashes.
even if started the standard way through upstart script, such console error messages should be inside /var/log/upstart/xbmc.log

if you don't get anything, then I would assume it's bug within XBMC. let's see.

sorting problem as someone here reported must be "feature" of XBMC. probably changed with some back ports of gotham code into frodo. this is just assumption, I don't have anything to prove this. once I get any free hour again, I can try google (not before weekend).

Thanks for the explanation. I am still having the double space lirc issue, where the arrow keys move instantly two times.

when this problem started? I don't remember you reported it for early beta2, first time I suppose it was I added "set -x" into the lirc startup script. but then I removed it as you reported this.

A check needs to be put in place to ensure the img file is on an external drive with enough space.

I foolishly (... and I won't be the only one) tried to create an image (of my 8G flash installation) on /home and the 7G image file crashed the RPi with out of memory.

Is there any way to simply add it to say your SMB server without having to add it to fstab?

I'm aware that "btrfs-auto-snapshot xbiancopy" function doesn't have any kind of test for possible mistakes or free space. as it was meant originally just as copy function to other BLOCK device (and this is the only test present in the code). later I added the option to create fully bootable img file for reflash and awaited feedback before I clean up the code. This is still on my list.

Anyhow thanks for reports as always from you specially appreciated. And I really mean it You know that.
