[LIVE] Issue with installXBMC.py

[grajea]

I've a problem while using the script to install 9.04.1 iso live image into a bootable usb.

Running the command
sudo ./installXBMCFromISO.sh

fails with the following message:

...
File "./installXBMC.py", line 43, in diskSizeKB
nBytes = int(diskusage)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''


I've seen that the scripts only works with english version of fdisk, so i've to change line 42 of installXBMC.py from

diskusage, retCode = runSilent('fdisk -l ' + aVolume + ' | grep "Disk ' + aVolume + '" | cut -f 5 -d " "')
to
diskusage, retCode = runSilent('fdisk -l ' + aVolume + ' | grep "Disco ' + aVolume + '" | cut -f 5 -d " "')

in order to detect the available partitions.

After this all worked fine.

Hope this helps somebody with the same issue

hi,
try editing the file "instalXBMC.py".

Make the row 42 like this:
diskusage, retCode = runSilent('fdisk -l ' + aVolume + ' | grep "' + aVolume + '" | cut -f 5 -d " "')

I'm on a kubuntu 9.10.

Bye

As you can read in this blog (http://andalinux.wordpress.com/2009/10/03/cambiar-el-idioma-de-las-aplicaciones-en-la-terminal/) another option is to execute a
export LANG=C
before calling the
sudo ./installXBMCFromISO.sh

This way you get the same result without modifying the script :nod:
