Upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, and found a conflict between MythTV and XBMC concerning NVidia drivers. MythTV is looking for VDPAU version 190 drivers, XBMC doesn’t like 190 at the moment because of the state of the libxine libraries.

Bottom line, I’ve got an XBMC daily running smoothly on Karmic with Ver 185 NVidia drivers, at the expense of MythTV (for now).

Can this work in my NAS as a media server? I ma trying to find a media extender for my NAS.. Mine is a Promise NS4300. This PC based media center works well as far as what I see for sourcing a PC for media.. Any ideas guys for my NAS?

Thank you for the hard work and dedication, supporting an ever increasing user base.

Unfortunately, I’m sad to see many of these “users” being true lazy ass who wants everything pre-cooked, for free, and preferably for yesterday. They ask for new features while you work on fixing the stuff, and don’t even say thank you. What is that for an attitude?

Upgraded Mythbuntu 9.04 -> 9.10 (32bit). No problem with mythtv but the XBMC broke down totally (cpu constantly 100%, no sound, no video playback..). Tried clean install (64bit) and what do you know. It doesn’t work either. No matter what I choose in audio hardware setup theres no sound through spdif and the whole XBMC hangs once in a while when trying to play a video file.

So my advice is, do not upgrade yet if possible. You’ll save a lot of time and nerves.

That’s sad news. Ubuntu 9.04 has a pretty buggy Intel stack. The Intel video driver has been through a major restructuring and many bugs came along. For example, I cannot make xbmc work on my Eeebox B202 with Ubuntu 9.04. 9.10 works well with XBMC but ‘official support’ would be a plus.
Anyway I know that the main focus is not there and you’re doing a great work doing regular releases anyway. But maybe in the future it would be useful to synchronize Xbmc releases with Ubuntu releases and integrate directly with the alpha version of Ubuntu.
