[SOLVED] How to disable XBMC launch at startup

[pedrogaza]

Hi all,

I use my RPI not mainly for xbmc. So I would like to start xbian with console login.
I try two different way, which does not provides good results :

- From xbian-config, I choose to disable xbmc service startup at boot => the RPI remain freeze at boot. The screen is displaying "xbian starting" but nothing happens. I have to rewrite my SD image.

- Directly from /etc/modprobe.d, I move the file xbmc which start xbmc at boot. => same problem.

Is there a way to do this ? Also would it be possible to disable the xbian screen during start up (with the progress bar), because I prefer to see what is happening and what is going wrong.

Thanks

Pierre

Currently, the splash won't go away if XBMC is not starting. To disable that, just remove the splash from /boot/cmdline.txt

To restore the default boot process verbosity, just restore to the default /boot/cmdline.txt:

Terminal

dwc_otg.fiq_fix_enable=1 sdhci-bcm2708.sync_after_dma=0 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait

I think with this command you are able to remove the autostart of XBMC:

Terminal

sudo update-rc.d xbmc remove

And this should start it manually:

Terminal

sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc start

Thank you CurlyMo, it works perfectly. The best way to do is I think to deactivate xbmc service autostart from xbian-config. And then restore the cmdline.txt like CurlyMo explained.
