[HOW-TO] Installing XBIAN directly on RASPBIAN IMG

[mk01]

yes,
during install when you are asked to reboot to convert, open cmdline.txt and revert btrfs changes. simply change

Code:

rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=

reboot. without btrfs being specified, autoconvert wont run. and during updates (and updates to cmdline.txt) if fstype!=btrfs, cmdline.txt is left as is - so this is only time you have to care about.

of course you will be taken away some nice XBians functions, but otherwise you should not be faced with problems. can be that still some scripts or deb packages helper scripts contain hard coded some btrfs references, just report back please for us to fix. but none of such "errors" should cause dpkg or apt-get error.

manual LXDE, auto XBMC => XBian like experience. System boot directly into XBMC, you can exit XBMC to console, or reboot or shutdown directly from XBMC menu.

easily, ...

go to "services" management in xbian-config and disable autostart of lightdm. report back please as for this was more changes needed to code of upstart scripts and (which was done), but there was no mileage to consider it fully ok (or even not ok).
