XBMC ... missing xdpyinfo from x11-utils package

Postby mr_cg » Sun Oct 03, 2010 8:23 pm

First of all i would like THANK YOU for PortableLinuxApps .... Great !!!
A lot of the Apps are working on the brand new WeTab (Meego Linux Tab).

Unfortunately XBMC application is not working.
When i start XBMC i get the error message "xdpyinfo not found".
Based on XMBC forum this problem is because of missing "xdpyinfo" program which is part of the "x11-utils" package.

My question: Would it be possible to add the "x11-utils" package (or at least minimum extract) to the XBMC portablelinuxapps package?
Any other idea to get XBMC working on the WeTab (Meego Linux)???

Thanks!
Christian

You really have a WeTab?
Can you tell me where to download its software?

Currently, the supported distributions are Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) 32-bit, OpenSUSE 11.3 (GNOME) 32-bit , and Fedora 12 (GNOME) 32-bit.
But adding the required piece of software into the AppImage shouldn't be a problem.

To bring an old post back to life (hopefully as a wetab owner)
All the software and information can be found at http://wetab.mobi/developers/
I tried to compile a few apps but failed miserably. Maybe you can give me a hint. :cry:

Hi andy,

sorry I didn't find a Live CD with WeTab OS yet and I don't have spare machines to install the full thing on.

Adding a few things to the AppDir is easy, basically it boils down to:
1. Run Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx; a Live CD is sufficient)
2. Using AppImageExtract, unpack XBMC
3. Copy in the missing binaries, libraries
4. Repackage the AppDir to an AppImage using the AppImageAssistant
The tools can be downloaded from portablelinuxapps.org
