XBMC won't load.

[Rich]

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
If you open a terminal and type the full path:

Code: [Select]

usr/local/bin/xbmcdoes it start then?

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

@ Arslan S. ............. I have ~/.xbmc/temp/ but there is no log in there, the folder is empty. Must I be logged in as root in order too see it? I will try that and post back IF it is there within minutes.

EDIT: @Arslan S. ... I am posting back to avoid confusing, and to confirm once again that there is no log file. There is however, another empty "temp" folder inside "the" temp folder. Like this -> /home/tc/.xbmc/temp/temp and I just thought that was unnecessarily strange. Perhaps there was a problem when I downloaded it? Idk.


@Rich ................ I tried it, but, no, still nothing.

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
If you enter:

Code: [Select]

ls -l usr/local/bin/xbmcwhat response do you get?

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

Hi, Rich

I get "ls: usr/local/bin/xbmc: No such file or drirectory"

But it is there, I seen it with my own eyes, just a minute ago. I'm thinking about uninstalling xbmc and reinstalling, whaddaya think?

[Rich]

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
My mistake, that should have been:

Code: [Select]

ls -l /usr/local/bin/xbmc Also, what does:

Code: [Select]

echo $PATHgive as a response?

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

tc@box:~$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/xbmc
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            35 Sep 14 11:21 /usr/local/bin/xbmc -> /tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/bin/xbmc
tc@box:~$ echo $PATH
/home/tc/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/apps/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/ondemand

Does that mean it's in ondemand? Or it thinks it is? wtf... hmmmm because it's in onboot. Well, it's showing under onboot in the appbrowser.

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

@Arslan S. ........... I just found the crash logs, for some reason they were located under /home/tc, sitting scattered at the bottom, they were not in the xbmc folder, idk why. Anyhow, here is the latest................

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
Your path and the link to the executable seem to be OK.

Does that mean it's in ondemand?

No, that's in the path to check ondemand if something can't be found in paths to the left of it.
The  SYSTEM INFO  is dated yesterday. Could it be leftover from when you exited to a prompt and tried to run it?

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

I noticed that too (the SYSTEM INFO).... So, I repeatedly just checked back too see if anymore logs have been created after attempting to start XBMC, but they haven't. Idk, what else to do, but I did a simple Google search using (xbmc won't start) and I see many people having or have had the same issue - under all different types of circumstances though. Idk, it's mind boggling.

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
It's odd that you simply get no response, like your command is going to the bit bucket. Running out of ideas, but:

Code: [Select]

/tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/bin/xbmc
ldd /tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/bin/xbmcMaybe one of those will elicit a response?

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

/tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/bin/xbmc    <--- does nothing.



tc@box:~$ ldd /tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/xbmc
/tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/xbmc: error while loading shared libraries: /tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/xbmc: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

EDIT: I just checked that path, and it only goes as far as -> /tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local WITHOUT ended as it should, with "xbmc."

I am going too just uninstall and try to reinstall, if that doesn't work then I'll just have too use xbmcbuntu.

I'll let ya know how it goes, thanks again Rich.

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
That error message suggests that it does not exist. If you enter:

Code: [Select]

ls -l /tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/bin/xbmc
ls -l /tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/bin/are the file or directory found?

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

I just uninstalled and reinstalled, same problem.........

tc@box:~$ ls -l /tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/bin/xbmc
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          4420 Jun  8 10:21 /tmp/tcloop/xbmc/usr/local/bin/xbmc

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
Sorry, at this point I'm at a loss. Maybe someone else has some ideas.

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

That's completely understandable Rich, I expected you to give up by now anyhow, but, you didn't, you kept on trying too help, and help and help, and for that, I am grateful...

I'll just have to use xbmcbuntu, it is what it is... it's just for a notebook, all of my other computers will always use Tinycore, because, it's the greatest. Long live the core.

Take care, I'm outta here.

Thanks again, George.
