Archive talk:Install Ubuntu and XBMC on Asus EeeBox PC EB1501
EB1501 German Edition
System: Linux HTPC 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
No MCE USB IR Receiver
There seem to be some specifics with this version of the eeeBox. There was no any MCE USB IR Receiver packaged, instead there was a notice that states:
"The EeeBox PC has a built-in IR receiver designed for the remote control. When you install the EeeBox PC to the back of the monitor and thus block the IR receiver, the remote control may be less sensitive. The USB IR receiver is not included in the product package."
Also if call
xbmc:$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
these are the only lines available with no USB devices attached:

If i start Windows and look through the device manager, this is the only unknown component, having the following information:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0AAD&SUBSYS_83E91043&REV_B2\3&267a616a&0&18 ACPI\ITE8713
Right now i have no clue how to enable the onboard IR receiver on Ubuntu (in Windows i got it working). The remote control is the same.
Startup error
On startup i got the following error message:
nforce2_smbus [...] conflichts with ACPI [...]
I got it fixed by
sudo vi /etc/default/grub
and editing the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX according to this bugreport
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_enforce_resources=lax"
and update the grub again with
sudo update-grub
Guide conflicts
The following item could not be executed
xbmc@HTPC:~$ sudo nvidia-xconfig -s --no-logo --force-generate --output-xconfig=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
The following error message came up
pkg-config: not found
had to install it first with
sudo apt-get install pkg-config
Maybe i misread something in the guide?
And the line
vi /etc/default/console-setup
is missing the precending "sudo" right?
