Ok your solution worked but (skip to the end)...
"Code:
sudo -i
cp -av /etc/init.d /etc/init.d.bck
rm /etc/init.d/mountall*
insserv -f
dpkg --configure initscripts

Now SSH service does not autostart and when i try to reboot or shutdown it remains "stuck" on "closing xbmc"....

i've tried to change the setting via xbmc gui but this new problem persists...
Help please

Thks mk01

I was just putting the info in some other thread anyhow the stuck problem on reboot (shutdown) I remember as dbus script again present in /etc/rc{6,0}.d/ although Beta1.1 (not Beta1) has upstart script for it. I have just Beta1 by hand so can't be sure, but if you have /etc/init/dbus.conf present, do a

Code:

sudo -i
insserv -fr dbus
rm -f /etc/init.d/dbus

for ssh there wasn't upstart script present at that time so I would try (after solving the dbus)

Code:

sudo -i
insserv -f ssh

let's see what you get (error).

Ok thks MK, but i'm now trying to "update" to the so call beta .2... is this a good a idea or should i stick with the current 1.1 ? Any advice would be very much appreciated since the official thread is confusing :/

[mk01]

yes, update.

1) it is not worse
2) as Beta1X is no more updated (I can't say supported as Beta2 is not out, but actually it is the same) you don't have guarantee (like with the latest update from Wheezy 7.2) something don't break off.

so in human language - you shouldn't loose anything what makes you happy - and can sleep well without worries that your precious XBian will break and nobody will be there to fix it

---

and believe me, sometimes it is confusing for me as well. but this sometimes happens during new sw testing because it is changing so much so nobody really know whether something is bug or feature and specially I like most one those with "all bad, help me all bad"… 1h hour later "sorry guys, this was my Windows8 SD card not running on RPI - my wife switched the cards"

but those are more funny like the real bugs

thks for the info mate . After some troubles in the upgrade i've reflashed a new image and now is all good.
iv'e got the latest beta 1.1 img on the site but after booting i've noticed some differences especially on the xbian config part... i've should add "updated" sooner lol
But i was able to copy all my relevant settings from the old install to the new (got some probs that needed chmod to mode 777 on the .xbian and inner folders) and now it appears to be faster than before.

Also got OC to High (go see my setup pics on the forum lol... dual fans and thermal dissipation on the SoC... temp never rises above 45º C according to the internal probes).

Once again thanks for all the help. I'm really learning a lot just by "playing" with Xbian.

Hallo guys!

I had the same issue and tried the hint from your first reply mk01...

But now I also can't connect to SSH and the system hangs during shutting down.

I want to fix it now with your other tips, but how should I do that?? Where can I enter these commands? I can only navigate through XBMC. As soon as I exit XMBC it gets stuck on the shutting down screen

I managed it to delete "splash" from cmdline.txt and now I can exit XBMC and I can enter code with my keyboard. But nothing happens when I do that

Can you please help me?!
I just set up the system perfectly and don't want to wipe it


EDIT: I also cannot access my NAS Drive through MSB anymore -.-

[mk01]

@alfaromeo

if we are still talking about beta1X installation, then install beta1 hotfix 1.2.

when you exit XBMC and logs into the console as xbian, run those commands:

Code:

sudo -i
cd /tmp
wget http://xbian.brantje.com/pool/beta1/main/x/xbian-update/xbian-update_1.0-1.2_armhf.deb
dpkg -i xbian-update_1.0-1.2_armhf.deb
sync

then reboot

Thank you.
So I went into Settings - XBian in the XBMC GUI (because I cannot access console - see above) and go to updates.
Under "XBian" it says "up-to-date". But there are several packages available for update. But nothing with "1.0-1.2"... just:

Code:

xbian-package-firmware 1.4-7
xbian-package-libshairport 1.0-1
xbian-package-libtag 1.0-2
xbian-package-lirc 1.4-8.8

But when I install them, it says "successful" but after a reboot all the updates are available again.
And SSH still doesn't work :/


EDIT: System Info says "1.0Beta1.1"

EDIT2: Updated every package solo and reboot every time. After update of "xbian-package-libshairport 1.0-1" the Pi doesn't boot anymore!! Last thing on screen is "Setting kernel variables....done" then the screen flashes for a second and the black screen white font stays there forever

Forget it, I will wipe and install Beta 2 right away...
Thank you anyway!!
