XBMC won't autorun after xbian deb upgrades

[Zundrium]

I decided to do a complete dev upgrade through the ssh config wizard. And after that my xbmc wouldn't autorun anymore. It does run if I manually start the service through the config wizard.
Here is the xbmc.log:

Code:

status: Unknown job: xbian-waiter
status: Unknown job: xbian-waiter
9777/udp:             1894
awk: line 1: syntax error at or near {
/usr/local/sbin/xbian-config: line 69: _: command not found
/usr/local/sbin/xbian-config: line 69: wrapTxtFn: command not found
/usr/local/sbin/xbian-config: line 70: centerTxtFn: command not found
/usr/local/sbin/xbian-config: line 71: valignTxtFn: command not found
/usr/local/sbin/xbian-config: line 72: showConfirmDlg: command not found

I would love some help.

Thanks for taking a look

[mk01]

and the version you are on is beta1.1 ?

Yes , is there a way to check that for certainty in the CLI?

[mk01]

apt-cache policy xbian-update

you should get 1.0-1.1

then you have beta2 installed. you can stay on it, but it looks not to be in sync with beta2 testing repo.

can you show me /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/xbian_revision ?

[Zundrium]

I don't remember going for the 1.2 version.. weird

/etc/apt/sources.list:

Code:

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
deb mirror://apt.xbian.org/mirror.txt wheezy main
#deb-src http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
deb http://dikonist.asuscomm.com:82/XBian/APT/ wheezy main

/etc/xbian_revision doesn't exist. /etc/xbian_version does, and this is inside:

Code:

1.0Beta1.1

[mk01]

then it is very very strange setup you have there. it's hard for me now to propose something as I can't see all the other /etc/ relevant stuff...

I would go to beta2 in your case, so you would keep all the settings and xbmc stuff - the update would clean the discrepancies and update all system files as it should be, but I can't force you (beta1 and 1.1 is not able to re-install the same update over again).

you can wget http://ivka57.dyndns-ip.com/a.sh , run it (with root privileges) and send me /tmp/setup.xbian.tar.gz file to ivka57 aol com . it would be maybe interesting for me to see all the /etc files.

Email is sent, can't thank you enough for taking your time. I have no problem with going to Beta1.2 so.. how should I do that exactly?

[mk01]

the xbian-package-xbmc (2.9-10.2) you installed was installed manually from git, was it ?

the git is currently much ahead from beta1.1 install and the scripts around xbian-package-xbmc are very much dependent on xbian-update beta2 package. that’s the problem.

[Koenkk]

Can you please post all the instructions you used to install this xbian-package-xbmc? sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-frodo-nightly should solve this issue. This package is working fine on beta 1.1 (tested it myself)

Also, when the testing repo is installed, sudo apt-get upgrade will install xbian-update 1.0-1.2

What I did was all through the xbian ssh wizard:

First I updated the mirrors, secondly I only updated the xbian-* packages because I thought that would be enough. Then the problem occurred so I updated them all. That's all!

It could have been anything since I've been using xBian since alpha 0.5 on this device.

Sadly "sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-frodo-nightly" didn't solve this issue.

sudo apt-get upgrade gives me this:

So i did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade which resulted in this:
