Archive:HOW-TO:Install XBMC on Ubuntu/HOW-TO 4
I have put some time in creating a good bare Ubuntu 10.10 install of XBMC on an ION 3D 152D.
Installation Ubuntu 10.10 Server 64 bit
Download the ISO from Ubuntu. Start the installation. I used the following partition scheme:
Partition scheme:
/dev/sda1 4GB swap /dev/sda2 rest of the disk 316 GB ext4 mounted
All commands must be executed as root: sudo -s
Customisations after default instalation
Remove apparmor
/etc/init.d/apparmor stop update-rc.d -f apparmor remove /etc/init.d/apparmor teardown rm /etc/init.d/apparmor
Disable tty1
Showing a console login after powering up does not make sense. So I decided to disable tty1.
mv /etc/init/tty1.conf /etc/init/tty1.conf.org
Console tweaks
I disabled the graphical login. Seeing the BIOS in VGA font and the rest in high-res font does not make sense. Seeing the splash-screen for .5 seconds didn't make sense either. Disable it all!
/etc/default/grub
-- #GRUB_TERMINAL=console ++ GRUB_TERMINAL=console -- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" ++ GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet gfxpayload=text nomodeset"
Grub opnieuw initialiseren:
update-grub
Disable DVD/CDROM drive lock
bash -c "echo dev.cdrom.lock=0 >>/etc/sysctl.conf"
Create xbmc user
adduser xbmc --gecos XBMC usermod --group audio,video,fuse,cdrom,plugdev xbmc
Installation extra packages
apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa apt-get update apt-get install xbmc xinit x11-xserver-utils apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 nvidia-settings mesa-utils libvdpau-dev apt-get install lm-sensors curl apt-get install pm-utils policykit hal apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils apt-get install unzip apt-get install xbmc-live
Because polkit-auth is gone in Ubuntu 10.10, I installed it manually.
