Mooi artikel, zal het dit weekend gaan proberen. Heb net vorige week de laatste LiveCD geinstalleerd met de laatste Nvidea driver.
Misschien een rare vraag hoor, maar waarom zou je dit willen? Wat zijn de voordelen voor XBMC Live?
When i get to the update and install xbmc step i get the following
xbmc-data: Depends: xbmc-bin (< 1:9.11+svn28042-lucid1.1~) but 1:9.11+svn28256-jaunty1 is to be installed
Are you 100% sure you’ve upgraded to 10.04?
9.11+svn28256-jaunty1 means you’re still on jaunty, Ubuntu or XBMC 9.04
Definitely upgraded i get the 10.04 splash screen. Got past this error by deleting the xbmc folder in /usr/xbmc . Now redoing the steps i get
So i get an issue with xbmc-live
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libcdio7 libmysqlclient15off libfaad0
Use ‘apt-get autoremove’ to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up xbmc-live (1:9.11+svn28042-lucid1) …
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/xbmc-live missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see
start: Unknown job: xbmc-live
invoke-rc.d: initscript xbmc-live, action “start” failed.
dpkg: error processing xbmc-live (–configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
xbmc-live
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Any suggestions?

. Laatst de versie van de livecd geinstalleerd, daarna nvidia drivers geupdate en toen xbmc geupdate met een latere svn, nu heb ik af en toe wat schokjes in beeld. Herinstallatie zit er dus sowieso in.
Puur hobby en kijken of het kan
Ja, af en toe kleine schokjes heb ik nu ook last van.. Het is niet veel maar toch..
Weet zeker dat ik die eerder niet had, kan aan de XBMC versie of aan de Nvidia 195 drivers liggen….
total Linux n00b here. I’ve installed LIVE XBMC v14 and then I click the ‘exit XBMC’ button and I’m presented with a logon ‘XBMClive login:’ – where do I go from here please so I can then follow the steps outlined above? thank you.
You saved my day!
XBMC working again on 10.04 with many new features. Awsome!
Damn! Shutdown only restarts XBMC
Any Ideas?
I also need help with XBMC not shutting down, only restarting. Also, suspend not available after upgrade. thanks
Hey, greeat stuff. However, vdpau is broken after the upgrade, nvidia 185(v 195). any clues on how to fix this? log–> http://pastebin.com/qx4g5xMG
tnx again
@Anders
I uninstalled all nvidia packages, and used this to fix it. Now all is well
Didn’t work for me, When I get to sudo do-release-upgrade -d is tells me there is no such command.
I’m using XBMC9.11 live.
Any ideas.
@linuxn00b
Linuxn00b. When you installed XBMCLive you where asked for a user name and password enter the user name you typed in during install and then the password.
This is useless just wasted 3 hours of my time and have got no where.
I recommend you don’t bother as this doesn’t seem to work
The guide is possible outdated. If you want to upgrade I recommend using one of my latest livecd’s.
