[PROBLEM] Beta 1.2 -> RC 2

[menakite]

I suspect it's busy updating your databases and the time out is too small. What if you do the following:

Terminal

sudo nano /etc/init/xbmc.conf

Search for these 2 lines (lines 40-41 here):

Code:

post-start script
    /sbin/start -q wait-for-state TIMEOUT=100 WAIT_FOR=xbmc-loaded WAITER=xbmc WAIT_STATE=started ACT=no || { /sbin/initctl emit -n xbmc-failed-start; stop; exit 1; }

and change that TIMEOUT=100 to TIMEOUT=100000 or any other big number. Then stop and start XBMC again, or reboot. It may indeed need a while if it's updating databases, but it shouldn't crash anymore.

If it works, change it back to 100. If it doesn't, change it back to 100 and upload the following log files somewhere:
* /home/xbian/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log;
* /var/log/upstart/xbmc.log (you'll need "sudo" to read it);
* the output of the command "dmesg".
