Why u think its still on? It responds to SSH, samba, etc?
Did u know that when RPi turns off, it flashes the ACT LED ten times?

[castalla]

This is NOT normal behaviour. When the Raspi shuts down the only power light left on is the red led ... if the dongle is showing blue then it's still powered!

Issuing a halt command shuts down the system including the wifi dongle.

@castalla, can you first shutdown XBMC manually and then shutdown the RPi so check if you see any error messages?

I cant confirm this. My wifi dongle blink when RPi works and "shows constant light" when RPi is off but powered.
Try to find another way to check, is RPi really ON at this time.

[castalla]

The menu item is POWER OFF system. It doesn't.

A halt in terminal powers off the device.

It's that simple.

Broadcast message from root@xbian (console) (Thu Feb 21 12:25:07 2013):

The system is going down for system halt NOW!

Dongle still powered.

[castalla]

Another issue is that it takes ages for any exit menu item to operate - reboot takes at least 2-3 minutes.

---

Update - the dongle is now shutting off on Power off - it takes 1 min 15 secs for the shutdown to take place.

The instruction on updating clearly state:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbian-update

What you did was:

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

The problem is that Alpha 5 conflicts with the libc packages >= 2.13-38. When you did the update, these packages got installed. When you then try to do:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbian-update

You can't because the update can't be installed with these libc versions. If you would have done the correct command in the first place, these libc packages would not have been updated.

That was what went wrong here. Your only option is to reinstall.

Very excited to hear about A5 but going through the issues listed in this forum, I wonder if I should wait for a new rev of A5. Is a new rev in the making?

[CurlyMo]

There is no new rev in the making. You should just follow our steps exactly because (as you have read) we didn't make it like did for nothing.

Hello, I recently updated to alpha 5 and everything is fine but CEC.
It doesn't power on the tv or switch the source and the tv's remote isn't working anymore, too.
My TV (Samsung LE46A656A1) doesn't even recognize the raspberry pi as CEC- aka Aynet+ device.
CEC was working with alpha 4.
After xbmc starts, the following message appears:"Pulse-Eight CEC adapter Configuration updated"
BTW I didn't changed anything like the HDMI cable/port or settings.

Information:
network interface: eth0
xbmc/xbian version: XBMC 12.0 Git:20130127 / xbian 1.0a5
psu: 5V/1A
device/s: Xbox 360 Wireless controller as remote
sdcard: 4gb sandisk class 4 micro sdcard with sandisk microsd to sd adapter

Thanks for helping, you guys are awesome!

I should have rtfm

I could fix it (sort of*) by using aptitude to force install xbian-update though, so no big deal.

Thanks for the amazing work and effort the team put into this. Xbian and the pi are such a perfect match!

*everything works except autostart of xbmc at boot. but sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc works from the shell

[CurlyMo]

Probably related to the wrong order of things as well.

So all the issues reported are due to folks not following the update steps?
