beta2

@Dave400

Unfortunately got the same as before, so lirc started with —device=devinput.

Can you by any chance provide temporary login to your RPI via port forward on your router for me to login and check directly?

@mk01 : i did a quick 15 min test, no audio drop with current beta 2 (i also switched theme from immersive to amber, i dunno if there is any relation with my problem). I also understood why my cec become crazy (it happened again tonight) : if I reboot the rpi with the AVR shut down, it goes crazy. I also loose DTS if I do so, so i won't reboot my rpi anymore at work through ssh for an update Or maybe I will force EDID in config.txt (i don't know if it affects CEC though)

All good with current version for me !

Hey mk01 :

xbian@xbian ~ $ dpkg -reconfigure ifplugd
dpkg: error: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove)

I also tried

xbian@xbian ~ $ insserv
-bash: insserv: command not found

thanks for posting back. maybe this will be as the report I have seen and simply you will have to accept the fact - being not super branded expensive chip running issue free, but it is worth trying:

beta2 is disabling ifplugd as it looks there is more problems with it as benefits (specially with wifi). but let's try to reenable it for hot plug net interfaces (wlan0). we will see whether the wifi is at frozen state or just disconnected and wpa_supplicant didn't reconnect.

you can do this with

Code:

dpkg —reconfigure ifplugd
insserv -f ifplugd
reboot

after reboot you will see ifplugd process with wlan0 in command line (ps ax). this should watch the connection and reconnect if link down, cable out (for wired interfaces), whatever. tell me then.

thanks!

I always forget "sudo". Most system commands need root privileges. And this forum always change 2x"-" into one. Or my safari is doing that. so the commands one more time:

Code:

sudo dpkg --reconfigure ifplugd
sudo insserv -f ifplugd

[darrylb]

--reconfigure is an invalid option...

By the way:
Would it be helpful when we look for an cheap hosting option, so that you don't need to host it on your private server?
Something like this (1€/month)?: https://uberspace.de/

Edit:
When I install the new kernel (apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-kernel) I only get a black screen after a reboot. So some sort of kernel issue.
I have to restore the "kernel.img" and "initramfs.gz" from here to get it back booting:
http://forum.xbian.org/thread-1312-post-15057.html#pid15057
XBMC ist starting, but I can't mount my NTFS devices:
root@xbian ~ # mount /mnt/hdd
ERROR: could not insert 'fuse': Exec format error

Messed kernel/firmware installation? I already tried to reinstall ntfs-3g, but it made no difference.
And the update also edited the file "/etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf" again (ENABLED=1).

Edit2:
I've used a btrfs snapshot to restore /lib/modules back to 3.10.10 and it's running now with this old kernel.

Edit3:
The new XBMC version also has the problem, that the filelist (Videos -> Files) is sorted by name, but that the folders aren't at top. In the Beta1.1 version the folders were on top and then the files below it. Now it is completely sorted by name and mixed.
before: folder - folder - folder -file - file
now: file - folder -folder -file -folder

thanks m8, appreciate
I have been here all the time,posting from time to time when I could
True is that for now I cant do as much as I used to and would like to cos as you know I spending a lot of time in hospital.
And sometime is not easy to dig the answers from my head and cos not having access to RPi is not easy withouth seeing or trying
But I still trying to do as much as I can and I will keep doing it for as long as possible

[brantje]

Well i have the apt repo running, i don't mind to run the dev one also.

To get on topic, XBMC randomly crashes and there is nothing in the logs.

i had a weird issue when I tested Beta 2 few days ago. I told about it to @mk01 so maybe you have something like that?
What happened was that all was running fine and I could browse the basic XBMC menu from left to right without a problem.But once I have clicked on any menu like Videos or Movies or doesnt matter which I ended with black screen.First I thought that XBMC just crashed but later I found all is still running but without video out or with just black screen.So actually when I pressed Back on remote I was in main menu and all was OK I was still able to browse it from left to right. But cos I couldnt get into any submenus I couldn't do the basic setup and later I ended with corruption and it didnt boot at all so I had to reflash and I didn't have a time since to try again.
At any chance you have something similar?

xbian-config: Creating img file:

A check needs to be put in place to ensure the img file is on an external drive with enough space.

I foolishly (... and I won't be the only one) tried to create an image (of my 8G flash installation) on /home and the 7G image file crashed the RPi with out of memory.

Is there any way to simply add it to say your SMB server without having to add it to fstab?

You my friend are a developers worst nightmare and best asset at the same time.
