Just run:

Code:

apt-get install linux-image.3.14.27-armmp

For xbian user, check:

Code:

ps aux

---

Maybe a better solution would be to downgrade XBMC. E.g.:

Code:

apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-6q=13.2-RLS-1417127308

[ramonskie]

i downgraded and rebooted and then tried to upgrade
but it still has the same conflict

[CurlyMo]

Why did you upgrade again?

[ramonskie]

i upgraded the kernel as you suggested
and then i did the upgrade via xbian-config
and it succeeded i rebooted and now no more xbmc restarts.


i upgraded because i have some issues with cec and xbmc instability

[CurlyMo]

So in the previous post you told me you had the same conflict and now it's gone? Can't quite follow

[zilexa]

ps aux gives me a long list of users http://pastebin.com/T3Vj1Fef
not sure what to do with that.

I did apt-get install linux-image.3.14.27-armmp
during install, XBMC keeps restarting. Also after install. I did a full reboot and it is still restarting xbmc. I also noticed my Cubox-i is very hot now, the bottom is almost to hot to touch. I don't want to kill another Cubox-i so I am going to shut it down for now. I hope others are willing to test.

[CurlyMo]

Did you try the xbmc downgrade?

Issue created here: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/653

[ramonskie]

used latest xbian image 2014-12-04
had some issues with cec

had some issues with apt-get update
repositories that where not reachable

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get xbian-package-repo

now a update should run without errors

Code:

sudo apt-get update

then i downgraded xbmc

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-6q=13.2-RLS-1417127308

reboot your cubox-i

now we can upgrade the kernel

Code:

apt-get install linux-image.3.14.27-armmp

now we need to reboot again
and from now on you should be able to upgrade xbian
from within xbian-config

for me my cubox-i seems stable for now
will report back after a few days of testing

[CurlyMo]

Until we found a fix, i noticed that commenting this line also works for now:

/etc/init/xbmc.conf

Code:

post-start script
#    /sbin/start -q wait-for-state TIMEOUT=100 WAIT_FOR=xbmc-loaded WAITER=xbmc WAIT_STATE=started ACT=no || { /sbin/initctl emit -n xbmc-failed-start; stop; exit 1; }

Installed from scratch the latest image XBian_2014.12.04_imx6.img. i previously disable CEC on my TV but i leave on on xbian, installed my addons (youtube and trailers), imported video library located in a network shares via zeroconf discovery.

i did not upgrade the packages via xbian-config and it seems stable.

For those who upgraded, can you guys post the following output.

First enable the commented line again. Then

Code:

echo > /var/log/upstart/upstart-ev.log
service xbmc restart
cat /var/log/upstart/upstart-ev.log

Wait at least 2 minutes before posting the upstart log.

everything worked fine until i updated all packages through xbian-config. below the output (xbmc took around 3/5 minute to restart after issued command)

With significant effort by curlymo and mk01, I have been able to use the xbian base img for video accelerated webRTC applications in chromium.

Specifically, using chromium v39 I was able to achieve a constant 25-27 fps video call which presented an excellent picture on a 40" tv.

At the same time the cpu utilization was about 60% (quad @ 1.2Ghz/core). This means that these results should reproduce on the standard 1Ghz Pro.

This to me is a major achievement and my thanks to the xbian team.

From here I hope to build on the xbian debian base with support software for my applications development and finally with a bit more help get cec working.

Hello everyone,

Just got my Cubox-i4pro and I've been running a raspberry pi for awhile on Xbian. 1st question is, can I take a backup of my Pi and load it into my Cubox via the recovery folder? I'm pretty sure the backup is just the .xbmc folder, so I can't think of any reason this wouldn't work.

2nd question, what version of XBMC are the individual releases? Is the 1/31 release 14.0 or still 13.2? I need to use Gotham due to one of my plugins not being updated for Kodi yet. Also, is there a changelog of the releases? I guess I could look at the git repo and look at the comments, but wondering if there's something more official. Thanks!
