Just for my own backup
to rsynch a directory from a remote (ubuntu) machine use this rsync command

Terminal

rsync -chavzP --stats user@remote.host:/path/to/debootstrap_stage1/ /mnt/jesse

Add name server before running apt-get
vi /etc/resolv.conf
change nameserver to 8.8.8.8

Add the public keys of the repos
wget -qO - http://xbian.brantje.com/xbian.gpg.key | apt-key add -

Terminal

apt-get update
apt-get install xbian-package-kernel

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xbian-package-kernel : Depends: rng-tools but it is not installable
Depends: xbian-package-initramfs-tools (>= 1.0-2.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

please add rng-tools to the first stage of bootdebstrap.

better is to add deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi to the /etc/apt/sources.list file
the file should look like this:

Code:

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
deb http://xbian.brantje.com devel main
deb http://xbian.brantje.com staging main
deb http://xbian.brantje.com stable main

Code:

mount -o bind /dev /mnt/jessie/dev
mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/jessie/dev/pts
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/jessie/sys
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/jessie/proc
mount -o bind /run /mnt/jessie/run

Installation of the kernel package went well

I installed the next additional packages:

Terminal

apt-get install net-tools dhcpcd bash-completion vim apt-utils perl-modules locales apt-utils xbian-package-xbianhome

changing cmdline.txt (root for jessie)

reboot

Login as root and run:

Terminal

apt-get install xbian-update

All went well.
Auto reboot but XBMC didnot start (splash starting XBMC........)

Try to start xbmc manually terminal shows

Terminal

./xbmc.bin --standalone -fs --lircdev /run/lirc/lircd
Could not init logging classes. Permission errors on ~/.xbmc (/home/xbian/.xbmc/temp/)
ERROR: Unable to create application. Exiting

To solve this I used this command as root:

Terminal

chown -R xbian:xbian /home/xbian

Try again

Terminal

/usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin ./xbmc.bin --standalone -fs --lircdev /run/lirc/lircd

xbmc-loaded start/running, process 9229

A few more things I had to do:
Change the password of xbian user (changed it to raspberry)
Also I had to add xbian as sudousers

I don't now if this is the correct way but I added this line to the /etc/sudoers file

Code:

xbian   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

reboot
WHOHOOOOO
xbmc starts and I have a working system

One issue I have is with localisation of xbian-config-shell
Probably I need a nl_UTF8 translation file

[edit]
I had to run dpkg-reconfigure locales.
