No overclocking...I tried several SD but I don't think it is related...I guess I'll have to wait for the final frodo...

@Dangee , XBian is overclocked by default. To remove the default overclock put the SD card in your computer and change the config.txt to this.

Code:

arm_freq=700
core_freq=250
disable_overscan=1
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=128
sdram_freq=400
over_voltage=0

@Koenkk, could you set the core frequencies to the default values (arm_freq + core_freq),
and if the end user wants to overclock their PI, they can do it from the xbian-config ??

Code:

root@xbian:/opt/xbian# git reset --hard 6997add6fd960c84f9b1f22f5572643bde240e71
fatal: Could not parse object '6997add6fd960c84f9b1f22f5572643bde240e71'.

@BartOtten can you try removing the --depth 5 while cloning?

THX ! It worked ! ...exept for the git reset...so I skipped it

You can also use xbian-config to reset the overclock values to default.

Upgraded today with your instructions from first post.

Looking right now the third Movie (1080p) ... works great!!!

The GUI ... i dont know ... but i'm think its faster ... it feels so.


Keep up the good work

Best regards from Germany

This is fantastic. Worked flawlessly first try.

I'm right at the end, so close.

When I try:

Code:

root@xbian:/opt/xbian# mv /lib/modules/3.6.11+ /lib modules/3.6.11+.OLD

I get:

Code:

mv: target `modules/3.6.11+.OLD' is not a directory

Not sure how to proceed.

UPDATE: so I had to manually make a directory named modules in /lib/, and then in lib/modules/ I had to manually make a directory named 3.6.11+.OLD. Then I cd back, and ran the last two commands.

After the reboot, it seems to work how it's supposed to - no blocks while jumping ahead or behind in a video. The stuff in my update I figured out from looking at the previous commands; I have little Linux experience. But my head hurts now.

You just forget a slash in your command line...

The new version & firmware should work but you won't be able to go back and perhaps your /lib directory is upside down.

Doh. Thanks for the eagle-eye.

Non sequitur: say I hypothetically foul up something with my Xbian install and have to format my SD card and reinstall 1.0 A4, starting fresh.

I wouldn't have to reinstall the firmware with this whole thing again, right?
