[HOW-TO] Installing XBIAN directly on RASPBIAN IMG

[mk01]

@IriDium

and you for sure had devel and staging repos added to the raspbian install ? as the packages I'm talking about are only there.


…..

just checking the code inside initramfs post install update scripts and it is run if initramfs.gz line is missing from /boot/config.txt

this gets started:

Code:

echo " SETTING rootfstype=btrfs in cmdline.txt. This will start filesystem conversion during next reboot. As soon as DPKG and APT processes terminate, reboot your RPI "
grep -q 'rootfstype=btrfs' /boot/cmdline.txt || sed -i 's/rootfstype=[a-zA-Z0-9]*/rootfstype=btrfs/' /boot/cmdline.txt

so if your raspbian was on USB this didn't get started - will change the condition - have to think about as current solution would even change valid NFS root install.

realized the tty2 just forgot to mention. during the package preparation I have even not considered this as problem as normally (meaning NOT YOU BEING TESTING )) ) after this stage, you reboot, ext4 gets converted, RPI booted and with next step installing xbian-* other packages this would still before next reboot get replaced with native XBian cmdline.txt

will poke you after I modify the conditions and repost package. and will rewrite opening post as soon as I reflash my Raspbian card to stock img and rerun the process - as still can be possible that with other updates we posted something more on the steps (or just texting) should be changed.
