Ok, i upgraded last btrfs and other stuff, I succeded on copying my xbian to harddrive, but after rebooting it with edited cmd, xbian freezes on network started... Any suggestions?

After switching back to: /dev/mmcblk0p2 it's ok.

So I had some updates available, and now I'm running RC1? Sorry, if this is in the wrong place, but I couldn't see any posts about this new release?

Anyway, it seems to be running fine. Except, it won't show 'Movies' and 'TV Shows' on the home screen anymore; and they've not been hidden, as the option is greyed out in preferences for some reason.


I'm running Confluence for Xbian, but it's not a Skin issue. As I've tried switching, and it's the same problem in other skins.
My library, on my NAS, is accessed over NFS, and it's still accessible through Videos->Files.

@dstuart Have you tried cleaning the library or tried adding it again. This behaviour seems to suggest the library doesn't have any records.

@koper89 How did you copy the files to HDD - can you post the config.txt and cmdline.txt files.

[dstuart]

Yeah sorry, my bad! The update erased my advancedsettings.xml, so it wasn't pointing to my shared library. Feel a bit dim now!
But still, pretty annoying...

i coppied through sss xbian-config, used xbian-copy from /dev/root --> /dev/sda1
config.txt - > http://pastebin.com/94edGAjX
cmdline.txt -> http://pastebin.com/2quUUWdH
ofc in root= i tried:
root=/dev/sda1
and
root=LABEL=xbian-copy
both at least once didnt boot because my drive mounted to slowly i suppouse but if they booted they froze on network started ...

Im using wifi dongle (powered usb hub)

[IriDium]

@koper89 1) Go back to a standard config.txt and cmline.txt. root=/dev/sda1
Remove the wifi dongle and try again.

There is somewhere a thread about booting without ethernet. If possible use an ethernet cable, configure the Wifi and all should be well.

[koper89]

Ok, I made xbian copy once again, after success i tried on standard config and cmline without wifi dongle and without ethernet but also froze on network started ...

EDIT: Noticed that when i boot from SD it's configuring network -> starting xbmc -> network started ->starting xbmc
When from HDD configuring network -> network started ... freeze (empty bar)

[Smultie]

Same here. I'm always on ethernet. So it's not solely caused by Wi-Fi.

Hello guys.

Just tried upgrading.

After apt-get dist-upgrade the upgrade process fails with:

Code:

[FAIL] Starting automount...failed (failed to load autofs4 module).
invoke-rc.d: initscript autofs, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing autofs (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
autofs
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Tried rebooting the Pi, but it is now stuck in infinite "starting xbmc" loop.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Never mind! A restart to reinit the kernel modules and apt-get upgrade / dist-upgrade makes it work ...

[freem@n]

@Lucifer: same for me. a reboot fixed it for most of the packages.
how ever I still get this when running sudo apt-get upgrade:

Terminal

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
xbian-package-cec
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

not sure why this would happen. update is always good in my opinion ;-) I don't need CEC at the moment but maybe when I take the Pi to a friends place.. so why is this package ignored?

I just had the same "oi..wtf?!" experience until i figured advancedsettings.xml got truncated.

Other than that, the dist-upgrade went smooth and all is working fine, even snappier than before (most likely due to mk01's BTRFS patch fair). Thanks!

[Lucifer]

Hei guys.

Those of you who use CEC - does your multimedia buttons work after upgrading it?

I used to be able to stop, pause and play movie from the buttons on the remote ... now I can't.

Turbo overclock is still causing a freeze on boot after the kernel & firmware updates. Is there anything that needs to be set in the boot folder?

I've had some problems with CEC also. After a reboot not all buttons on my Panasonic tv-remote are recognized, but when I use Yatse on my phone to disable and re-enable CEC, it works after some time. It looks like initialization doesn't go well at bootup even when there's a notification that a cec remote has been found.

Ok, so I've installed a fresh copy of XBian, and after the first sudo apt-get update and apt-get upgrade there are now 8 packages hold back. Is this normal?

Terminal

The following packages have been kept back:
btrfs-tools xbian-package-cec xbian-package-config-shell
xbian-package-config-xbmc xbian-package-initramfs-tools xbian-package-kernel

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded.

I also noticed that almost all XBian skins in the XBian Repository are broken.

Besides that, it occurs quite often that packages fail to be fetched. After a couple of times trying it works again. I'm on LAN btw.
