To install this tarball you must have:
|
|
|
|
- an computer or anything that can run linux, have an tv or monitor attached
|
|
via vga/dvi/hdmi/displayport
|
|
- an flash or harddrive attached via usb/sata/ide with at least 128mb free
|
|
diskspace for kernel and systemimage on your bootdrive and many many diskspace
|
|
for your data (movies, pictures, music...)
|
|
- 2 partitions formatted with ext3, ext4, vfat
|
|
- an bootmanager (grub, syslinux, extlinux) installed
|
|
|
|
Installation:
|
|
|
|
- copy target/KERNEL (the kernel, that contains an initramfs) and
|
|
target/SYSTEM (an squashfs image) to the first partition (bootpartion) which
|
|
is formatted ext3/ext4/vfat (this can also be an USB-Stick). You can also
|
|
copy this files to an already running Linux system so you can configure
|
|
an dualboot system (Files must be copied to root of the bootpartion)
|
|
- setup the bootloader (example is for grub - other examples you find in
|
|
sample.conf dir):
|
|
|
|
# Begin of example for grub
|
|
title OpenELEC
|
|
root (hd0,0)
|
|
kernel /openelec.kernel boot=/dev/sda1 disk=/dev/sda5 quiet
|
|
|
|
title OpenELEC - Textmode
|
|
root (hd0,0)
|
|
kernel /openelec.kernel boot=/dev/sda1 disk=/dev/sda5 quiet textmode
|
|
|
|
title OpenELEC - Debugging
|
|
root (hd0,0)
|
|
kernel /openelec.kernel boot=/dev/sda1 disk=/dev/sda5 debugging
|
|
|
|
title OpenELEC - Textmode Debugging
|
|
root (hd0,0)
|
|
kernel /openelec.kernel boot=/dev/sda1 disk=/dev/sda5 textmode debugging
|
|
# End of example
|
|
|
|
boot=: points to the partition where is KERNEL AND SYSTEM (bootpartion)
|
|
disk=: point to any ext3/ext4 partition that mounts r/w for data (your $HOME)
|
|
|
|
textmode: starts a shell instead Xorg - you can start Xorg and XBMC manually
|
|
(for debugging or if you have problems with Xorg)
|
|
debugging: starts debug mode with more output and more and better logging
|
|
(for debugging or if you have problems with anything)
|
|
bootchart: starts bootchart logging at beginning of start process
|
|
(for debugging or if you have problems with anything)
|
|
quiet: Kernel boots quiet
|
|
|
|
- restart your system and try
|
|
|
|
If you have problems:
|
|
|
|
- if kernel not load or you have an kernel panik try boot without "quiet"
|
|
command and see what is wrong.
|
|
|
|
- if Xorg does not start try with "textmode" and "debugging", see what is wrong
|
|
|
|
- if XBMC does not start try with "textmode" and "debugging", try starting
|
|
Xorg manually at commad prompt with "Xorg &" then try start XBMC manually with
|
|
"DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone" and see what is wrong.
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
|
|
- i have tested this only with pure Intel Hardware (Lenovo X61s, X61t, X200
|
|
Gigabyte MiniITX GA-6QPCV-R, Intel E1000 Network, Core2Duo, Centrino etc...)
|
|
|
|
- if your NIC works, then very good with DHCP, WLAN must be configured, but is
|
|
not tested.
|
|
|
|
- You can do a login via SSH (IP adress you can see on console with "ifconfig"
|
|
or within XBMC). SSH login is "root", password is "openelec".
|
|
|
|
- you cannot start this version from optical drives, because the needed
|
|
drivers are loading as modules with udev. This can be changed later, but for
|
|
the OpenELEC.tv project this is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
- all data that will be created you found in /var or at your $HOME at /storage.
|
|
|
|
- your home is /storage (the second ext3/ext4 partiton)
|
|
|
|
- for any update create an directory /storage/.update and copy KERNEL and SYSTEM
|
|
to /storage/.update (from console or via ssh/scp). On next reboot system will
|
|
be automatically updated and reboot.
|
|
|
|
- you have in textmode a console on tty1 AND tty3 (switch via CTRL+ALT+F1/F3 and
|
|
in graphicmode only on tty3 (tty1 is the console for Xorg)
|
|
|
|
- all dirs are readonly (only /storage and /var are r/w)
|
|
|
|
- automounting of filesystems works with XBMC, but there are some issues with
|
|
this (mountpoint will be not deleted, mounting of CD/DVD ROM not working).
|
|
filesystems will be mounted to /media.
|
|
i will be switch to devicekit-disk/ consolekit in the future.
|
|
|
|
- more or not more informations you can find on www.openelec.tv
|
|
|
|
- go to launchpad to see what i am doing or what i have changed
|
|
|
|
- comments and questions are welcome, help is better, and patches are perfect!!!
|
|
|
|
- the splash i have created with gimp - I have no idea of gimp - but I am
|
|
proud of the splash :-)))
|
|
|
|
- i hope you have understand me, I have no idea of english too ;-)
|
|
|
|
happy XBMC'ing
