ok, thanks CurlyMo... but is it safe to upgrade (keeping blocked the libc6) with apt-get upgrade?

[CurlyMo]

On Alpha 5 the specific libc6 versions are blocked. You never know though what Raspbian is up to next .

[TorodeFuegO]

So the only solution is a fresh install when libc have been upgraded?

[kraleksandr]

Waat? U said that I must not install updates with apt-get upgrade??

[CurlyMo]

If you have upgraded properly before, the xbian packages will block the libc packages.

Running Alpha 5....
apt-get dist-update shows me this:

BE CAREFULL!!! "apt-get dist-upgrade" is not the same as "apt-get upgrade"

apt-get update shows me this:

Seems safe to me...... Let's give it a try.........

@Killerbeee
Did u proceed apt-get dist-upgrade?

[min]

So are there any ideas about the weird box resolution?

[kaladont]

I have so many thing installed on rasPi like ddclient, owncloud etc... and clean install will be pain in the ass. Is there any way to only remove some related stuff and then to make some kind of clean install not to format whole SD?

try to force 16:9 aspect ratio on your screen rather than auto mode. most of the TV's has this auto option enabled
also make sure you have

Code:

disable_overscan=1

in
/boot/config.txt

https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/issues/70.
I have fixed my config.txt by adding sdtv_mode=2 to set mode to PAL, but this didn't fix my issue. I don't use HDMI but cinch input, all HDMI settings are disabled in xbian-config.

It seems like all reds are missing, faces in fanart etc are in blue, the navigation bar in the library is yellowish.
Any ideas how to fix this, I'm a bit lost right now.

Anyone an idea how to fix my color issue? Much appreciated!

[CurlyMo]

No, because sdtv_mode=2 has fixed a similar problem here...
