Starts out fine, and i manage to get to the installing of build essentials. But from here on i only get "could't find package'. did other builds have more repositories? Or am i completely missing something (I'm a big linux noob, so i try to do everything letter by letter) I tried this guide on 9.11-repack.

Long answer: In Windows you already have an Xbox 360 Wireless controller driver available. But currently XBMC does not really support it at the moment. When you want to get your controller working in Windows you can tryout <a href="http://www.xpadder.com/" rel="nofollow">xpadder</a>. This will emulate keyboard-presses from your controller. Short answer: you don’t.

Many thanks! Very silly question, but how are you installing all this stuff “from a Windows based machine”. Many thanks!

Got me going for 2 straight days ;)... Anyways, let's make this comment useful: I myself was fiddling with getting autostart to work and I now got something that works (on minimal Ubuntu 9.04 and XBMC SVN). These are the steps I took: [BEGIN PROCESS] ***Add default user "xbmc" to group "root"*** sudo usermod -a -G root xbmc ***Create file "55-permissions-uinput.rules" in etc/udev/rules.d, containing:*** KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="root" ***Alter /etc/rc.local*** #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local # # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other # value on error. # # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # bits. # # By default this script does nothing. ./home/xbmc/xboxdrv/xboxdrv --id 0 -s -l 2 --dpad-as-button --deadzone 12000 exit 0 [END PROCESS] This might well be not what you are looking for, but it meets my modest HTPC demands ;). greetings, Dries Great tutorial!

I myself was fiddling with getting autostart to work and I now got something that works (on minimal Ubuntu 9.04 and XBMC SVN).
These are the steps I took:

[BEGIN PROCESS]

***Add default user “xbmc” to group “root”***
sudo usermod -a -G root xbmc

***Create file “55-permissions-uinput.rules” in etc/udev/rules.d, containing:***
KERNEL==”uinput”, MODE=”0660″, GROUP=”root”

***Alter /etc/rc.local***
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will “exit 0″ on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

./home/xbmc/xboxdrv/xboxdrv –id 0 -s -l 2 –dpad-as-button –deadzone 12000

exit 0

[END PROCESS]

This might well be not what you are looking for, but it meets my modest HTPC demands ;) .

greetings,
