[HOW-TO] Installing XBIAN directly on RASPBIAN IMG

[chtk]

You can force the installation of the newer xbian-package-repo package by doing:

Code:

# dpkg --install --force-depends xbian-package-repo*.dpk

I tried this method on an existing raspbian jessie installation and on a fresh installation. The second was out of necessity as the first try resulted in an empty root partition.

I have a couple of questions:

• Has anyone recently and successfully tried the method as described?
• And how?
• Does converting the root partition to btrfs beforehand help?
• Does starting from a wheezy raspbian installation net a different result?
