Get XBMCbuntu running
- get latest XBMCbuntu image from the download site, get the Intel/NVIDIA version (the version name applies to GPU, not CPU)
- install to USB drive as per these instructions
- boot will fail and hang on black screen with non-moving mouse pointer, see this thread
- hold SHIFT during initial boot to get grub
- add 'i915.i915_enable_rc6=0' to the kernel line (after splash)
- F10 for boot, but this change will not stick
- edit /etc/boot/grub to ad the same line to
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
- change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.i915_enable_rc6=0"
save file, then then
