No problem on the XBMC question, I'll be writing a guide once the next version comes out anyway (10.50 Dharma). I think the way you want to start XBMC is by having it executed in Ubuntu's <strong>Startup Applications</strong> list (which can be found under System > Preferences). Once you have it opened hit the <strong>Add</strong> button and then type in XBMC for the name (or whatever you want) and then the command should simply be <strong>xbmc</strong> as well (assuming you've installed from XBMC's standard PPA's). To test if the command will work for you you can simply pull up a terminal (or hit ALT-F2) and type in xbmc in either. Hit Enter or Run and XBMC should launch (assuming it's not already running). If that command works in either of those it should work just fine as the command in the Startup Applications list. If that fails however, find your shortcut or whatever you use normally to launch XBMC and go into it's properties and find the command it lists. Copy and paste that into the Startup Applications list in place of the vanilla xbmc command and you should be golden. Best of luck, Ainer Hey Henkske,

You may also need to change the change directory part of the script. Why are you using two different usernames? Leave your IM if you want, preferably jabber and I'll try to help you real time.

Nohup is used to redirect the output of the program to a file so that it can be start cleanly without extraneous messages being generated. There is a quiet option which is also used, but there are messages that still get sent to the terminal even when this is invoked. Anyway, long story short hit enter and you'll be golden. Cheers, Ainer Hey,

The port 9090 is the default for SABnzbd+ for secured connections, if you have this enabled (on the same machine as XBMC) there might be a conflict between XBMC (assuming you have it set to use 9090 as well) and SABnzbd+ (or some other service on your system). You may want to try a different port for XBMC (I use 8082 currently). Hey, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I kind of spaced it.

Edit /etc/rc.local with your favorite text editor and add: /etc/init.d/sickbeard.sh anywhere before the "exit 0" This should start sickbeard when the system boots.

This works just fine for Episode Butler but for some reason it doesn't for SickBeard. I've just been using the Startup Applications app and pointing it to sickbeard.sh as was mentioned previously. You may want to install gnome on your xbmc live install. Alternatively, if you don't have a ton of time already into customizing xbmc, you could wipe and install Ubuntu 10.04 and then install xbmc on top of that (which is how I'm setup).

Off the top of my head, I believe there are logs and you could also launch the program directly from the terminal to get some further information as to what's going on in the program (like when the error is occurring).

I added:

/bin/sleep 5
/sbin/daemon_mgr sickbeard1 start “python /share/Public/Sick/SickBeard.py –quiet”

to sabnzbd.sh.
