[SOLVED] XMBC doesn't start automatically with nfs shared configured

[Lukeid]

Hello,

Last week I decided to try Xbian (beta 2) on my RPi, every thing went perfectly until I configured my nfs share in /etc/fstab:

Code:

server:/media/share        /mnt/nas        nfs     udp,rw,noatime,nolock           0       0

After that configuration XBMC did not autostart anymore after reboot and loging prompt was shown.

I investigated it and the problem was that XBMC service was not started by upstart because conditions were not met.

xbmc.conf start conditions:

Code:

start on started xbmc-preload and started dbus and (started autofs or xbian-nowait)

And those conditions were not met because of "xbian-nowait" and "autofs" part.

I think that autofs is not installed by default in my system so it will never start.

And xbian-nowait event is only raised by "mountall" if no nfs shares are configured.

Code:

grep -v ^# /etc/fstab| awk '{print $3}' | sort | grep -q 'nfs\|nfs4' || initctl emit -n xbian-nowait || :

I was able to workarround the problem changing xbmc.conf start conditions to:

Code:

start on started xbmc-preload and started dbus

But I'm not sure why that condition was included and it may be a more elegant solution to just delay a little the XBMC start if a nfs share is configured.

I could not find any related topic so maybe I'm doing something wrong...

Best regards
