XBian DEVEL and STAGING repositories

What does a good resolve.conf look like.

Mine had the wrong dns server, fixed that and still no network.

Once I add a route it works, reboot and it's the same all over...

Apparently their are two files that control network, resolv.conf and what else?

Same thing for me. I'm not using the DEVEL or STAGING repo's and I'm suffering from a sudden inability to access anything beyond the local network.

My TEST machine has the same issue with dummy0 but doesn't seem to affect anything - I'm still running on eth0

My MAIN machine (Yet to be upgraded) shows resolv.conf to have just 2 lines.
nameserver xxx.xxx.x.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.x.xxx

which are the DNS servers.

I boot up and my eth0 no longer gets an ip address.

I assign it an address (ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.228) and it works on the network but no Internet! I can't ping web addresses (yahoo.com) or ip addresses either (8.8.8.8).

I didn't even run an update, this just happened out of the blue.

default route:

Code:

route add default gw 10.10.10.XXX eth0

/etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0
iface default inet dhcp

/etc/resolv.conf (minimal)

/etc/resolv.conf (optimal)

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
domain myprivatedomain

check /var/log/upstart/network-interfaces-eth0.log

but the easiest to diagnose - once you get console, try the same command as system is using:

Code:

ifup -v eth0

what you get ?

EDIT :

Fixed, seem new package of shairplay crash xbmc.
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-shairplay=1.0
and xbmc is now ok.

Hi,

i'm on devel repo and up to date, and houston, i've got a problem (but probably not due directly to xbian),

xbmc start splash/xbmc stop in loop,
but what i've done between it work, and it don't work :
-update xbian to last stage (and don't check if reboot was working).
-install bluetooth adapter (just plug), install alsa, and install a2dp following thi tutorial (by changing user pi to xbian) :
http://www.instructables.com/id/Turn-your-Raspberry-Pi-into-a-Portable-Bluetooth-A/?ALLSTEPS
reboot,
and after xbmc restart in loop.

Error i've got in dmesg :
[ 211.116831] init: wait-for-state (xbmcxbmc-loaded) main process (6924) killed by TERM signal
[ 223.094150] init: xbmc main process (6891) terminated with status 132

and in xbmc.log (dbus_daemon is running):
DBus: Error org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed - Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: according to mtab, /dev/mmcblk0p2 is already mounted on /home
mount failed


i also try to remove autosart of bluetooth agent and remove udev rules, but same happen.

there are also some change in xbian-config-xbmc, but it shouldn't be that.

Thanks.

I am on devel and staging and had the same issue with xbmc getting stuck while loading. Downgrading to shairplay 1.0 from 1.0.1 fixed this for me too

[belese]

i've just 2 problems :

i've a HDD with a primary partition ntfs,
after a logical partition, with 3 partitions,
all are mount on Xbian, but only the ntfs and the first one of logical partition is share via samba.

Others one :
if i reboot, splash is running in background of xbmc (i don't see it), but it slow down the pi (10% of proc), if i kill splash, xbmc running fine, otherwise it is really slow.

but i've don't update from this week end update, i'll wait to fix xbian-config and do it later, so maybe already fixed.

Hi all,

I am running xbian-package-xbmc-gotham-nightly 2.9-10.25 and using CEC with my Sony Bravia.

One thing I noticed, but I am not sure if this is usual behavior or bug. If I watch a video in XBMC then pause and switch HDMI source to regular TV, the video keeps playing, so when I return to XBIAN I can see that it is still playing.

To me it looks like input source switch on my TV remote somehow unpauses a video before it switches to another source.

Anyone facing something similar?

Br,

Erol

So I'm now at staging, updated today by doing an apt-get install xbian-update

AutoFS is not starting automatically, no problem don't need it

However I noticed after rebooting and thus starting the new kernel (3.12.7+) that XBMC won't start. VCHIQ device is not being created I poked around a bit and it seems the module is just not loaded.

A "modprobe vchiq" solves the problem and allows XBMC to start



Another thing I run into is that the xbmc gotham nightly won't start automatically, after boot up xbian spends a lot of time configuring network and then drops back into a standard tty with login prompt. This was also without running staging btw.

[Jingles]

I have three problems at the minute and I think they are all since I starting using devel and staging.

1. I can't open xbian-config. Every time I boot my system or try to launch xbian-config manually i get the following message:

Code:

/usr/local/sbin/xbian-config: line 203: /run/lock/xbian-config.gui: No such file or directory

2. As with other users above my network connection is not working pronely. I have configured my /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf as @mk01 explains but each time I boot i have to run ifup -v eth0 to get any network connectivity.

3. When running dist-upgrade the firmware upgrade fails with the information below:

1. same for me. it even was like this on stable. but now I'm on staging and devel as well. both command line and gui xbian-config refuse to start.
3. somehow I think the "...-6q" packages are exclusive for the CuBox-i platform...somebody correct me please if I'm wrong. however I'm getting the same kind of issue.

[belese]

maybe log file can help?
at least for xbmc xbian config

yes -6q is for cubox, no idea why there are there,

i've done all process today, flash image beta2 from xbian site, copy to usb vian xbian-config xbmc, reboot (on usb drive), adding staging and devel in apt source, update all via xbmc xbian-config, and everything goes fine, just need to wait, it reboot itself, and i'm on rc1 running on usb drive.
