beta2

[Darkguy]

Hey,

last night, I re-installed xbian as I ran into the initscripts issue with B1.1 on apt-get upgrade and after fixing it, auto-start of SSH didn't work any longer. I re-installed B1.1 and eventually upgraded to B2 - so far so good.

I set everything in XBMC up again, including various SMB/CIFS mounts for libraries and numerous add-ons and also installed btsync. I played around with the system had a few random XBMC crashes when using some video add-ons but nothing out of the ordinary. Reboots didn't break the system, SSH and BTSync both auto-started as they were supposed to. Playback of other video-files through SMB worked fine and stable for a few hours.

At one point though, I decided to try a "real" shutdown via XBMC's shut-down menu.

After that, the system looped at the "starting xbmc...", screen which is being displayed for a few minutes, then terminates (a shell login flashes on the screen for half a second or so) and redisplays the "starting xbmc..." screen; this behaviour loops for hours on end.

SSH access is still working, so I tried:

Code:

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

which brings up XBMC with default values. Exiting this, or rebooting the system from this instance of XBMC leads to the same looping behaviour.

output from dmesg (after the usual boot/device messages):

My system info:

• Raspberry Pi, Model B, rev. 2 (512 MB RAM)
• overclocked via xbian-config to "Medium" settings
• SanDisk Extreme III 8 GB/Class 6 SDHC card
• powered through a D-Link DUB-H4 active USB-hub
• running Xbian Beta2, all packages installed and up-to-date as of right now, additionally installed BTSync 1.1.82-2 through it's own repository as described here
  

I'd be happy if there was a solution or at least a way to recover to an earlier state, maybe through btrfs snapshots.

Thanks for your replies!
