Xbian-config not autostarting

[Smultie]

Since a couple of days, when I SSH into my pi, Xbian-config no longer autostarts.

"sudo xbian-config" does the trick, of course. I've checked the settings, SSH-2-6 and it says "Successfully enabled xbian-config autostart".

Could it be that you use the manual override:

cat /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start
0

If you make it a 1 is should work again.

[Smultie]

Nope, it's at 1

Does this file still exists? /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start.sh

And do you have this at the end of /home/xbian/.bashrc?

if [ -z "${STY}" ] && [ -z "${TMUX}" ] \
  && [ -e /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start.sh ]; then
    . /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start.sh
fi

[Smultie]

xbian@xbian ~ $ cat /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start.sh

if grep -qx '1' /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start; then
    sudo xbian-config
    echo
    echo '# to disable xbian-config:'
    echo 'echo 0 > ~/.xbian-config-start'
fi

---

cat /home/xbian/.bashrc

if [ -z "${STY}" ] && [ -z "${TMUX}" ] \
  && [ -e /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start.sh ]; then
    . /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start.sh
fi

Same Problem here all is set right I make a fresh install and after update the error occurs, also the dist-upgrade do not work see: http://forum.xbian.org/thread-2655-post-26477.html#pid26477 Manually start sudo xbian-config works

[rolftimmerman]

I can confirm that I have the same issue (on the forum I'm known as Carpenter)

First check if you still have a /home/xbian/.profile. If not try this:

cat << \EOF > /home/xbian/.profile
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
        . "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi
EOF

.profile ist not present in my home After create this xbian config start at login Still have the error in dist-upgrade

[CurlyMoo]

That's why you shouldn't use dist-upgrade.

[Smultie]

That fixed it for me CurlyMoo

[anaconda]

This turned out to be a bug in xbian-package-xbianhome and has been fixed.

To be honest, I don't think there's any bug as the idea was that that package should only be installed when building the image - I think it should be removed from the repo.

[CurlyMoo]

I don't agree. An example is that we recently added the xbian user to the cdrom group. That change has been pushed by xbianhome.

[Smultie]

The issue somehow returned after me putting back a backup on my SD/USB. However, the above didn't work this time. Any way to get the autostarting back?

Nvm, apparently my /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start.sh was gone.

[CurlyMoo]

You should be able to enable xbian-config autostart inside xbian-config.

[Smultie]

That's the first thing I tried, but that didn't work. I created /home/xbian/.xbian-config-start.sh and after that it worked again.
