I've decided to create a thread specific to XilkaX. Since some of the issues may overlap but quite a few of the issues will be specific to XilkaX.

Quite a bit has already been covered in the "new Xilka Distro thread" starting about page 17.

The XilkaX root image is here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38673799/Xilka ... 724.tar.xz

The Install instructions are pretty much the same as the standard Xilka distro:

Make sure you upgrade the Wicd package if you intent to do wireless, a bug has been fixed that prevented wicd-curses from properly configuring the wireless interface.

When i try to install on a formatted miniSDCard 4GB 1 ext2 100MB and 2 ext4 3 GB.

Code:
root@XXX-VirtualBox:/home/XXX/Downloads#  tar xjvC /mnt/disk -f XilkaX-Root-20120724.tar.xz
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now



what is here going wrong? Corrupt Downnload?

tar xJvC not tar xjvC


FYI: The newer tars (not sure which version was the first) allow you to ignore the option which specifies the compression type when you decompress. In this case tar figures out the compression type.

So just drop the J or j or whatever

I'll have to test the smb mount.

The Pvr clients need some attention, for some reason they're not working on CuBox even though TvHeadend works on my x86_64 boxes.

So both items are on my TODO list.

Right at the moment I'm working on getting the Xbmc reboot option working which will probably also fix the Smb mount issue.

The first impression is fine!!!! XBMc menue is working fast. Play all my Music from NAS, watch HD movies from my dreambox/VU receiver over lan streaming (smb) is also very nice, no problems!
Now i have to install this addon:

Code:
sudo xip install XbmcPvrAddonVuPlus-20120724-armv7l-1.xip

To use static ip on Xilka.

1. modify /etc/systemd/system/eth0.service with appropriate ip info.
2 sudo systemctl enable eth0.service
3. sudo systemctl disable wicd.service

About the VuPlus Pvr addon:

Here's a link to a version for Xilka on CuBox. I can't test it, other than testing that it seems to start up on x86_64. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38673799/XbmcP ... mv7l-1.xip

Just to let you know. It took me a whopping 15 minutes to make this script and build a version for CuBox. So if we have any aspiring programmers out there, I hope you get a feel for how easy it is to whip up a build script for new code that's lurking out on the net. BTW, please submit new build scripts to me so I can incorporate them into the standard distro.

Code:
#! /bin/bash
##DEFINE[CATEGORY]: multimedia
##DEFINE[SDESC]: Xbmc Pvr VuPlus addon
VERSION='git'
##SOURCE[0]: git://github.com/jdembski/xbmc-addon-vuplus.git
##DESC: @NAME@ - @VERSION@ (@SDESC@)
##REQ: CAres Curl CyrusSasl LibIdn LibSsh2
##REQ: OpenLdap OpenSsl RtmpDump ZLib
##BUILDOPTS: BUILDER=make

. /etc/xi.sh

function Install()
{
   __Install_std
   local id=$(GetInstallDir)
   local pd=$(GetPrefixDir)
   local ad="$id/opt/xbmc/share/xbmc/addons"
   mkdir -p $(dirname $ad)
   mv $pd/addons $ad
}

Run # do all the good stuff




when i configure and will acivate, xbmc says that he addon could not be load.....a not known error ...
if this addon will be start and working the cubox will be the best miniHTPC ever for dreambox / VU Duo Receiver owner!!!!
