Since there is no RC2 thread yet I am posting this here; all these issues popped up after I upgraded to RC2:

1. When XBMC first loads it runs for a few minutes, then crashes/quits; it doesn't throw me to a login prompt though but shows me the basic bootlog (I see conformations of variopus built-in and andd-on services, such as Transmission being started); restarting XBMC via SSH (sudo start xbmc) works fine and it runs stable after that; I don't have the debug log here right now (can post it later tonight) but there seems to be some sort of error/crash involving Python that causes this behavior
2. I also get the error reported above (script failed message in services.py) shortly after XBMC loads
3. xbian-config in XBMC doesn't work at all right now, xbian-config on the shell works fine
   

To me, all three issues seem to be connected to Python in some way; maybe it runs even deeper and is connected to the newer Python packages that originally would not install right via apt-get upgrade and required some fixes on the shell-level as documented in the Wiki?
