[SOLVED] Cant get out from XBMC

[lsas]

Hello everyone.

I've a xbmc running over my raspberry with archarm.

I'm having some trouble with the network interface, it seems not available from the network, so i cant login into ssh.
So i've tried to work directly on the pi to try to discover what are the network issues.

But XBMC is running as a deamon, so it automatically start at system boot.
When i try to exit from the XBMC menu, the console appear for just a couple of seconds, but then it start again automatically.
So, what i've to do?
First of all why xbmc is restarting automatically after an exit command? is there any kind of option to disable this behavior?
And then, most important, how i can get back my console to fix the system ??

Any suggestions?

Thanks to all

Can you do Ctrl Alt F1
?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl disable xbmc')
Network, disable what there is now
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'rm /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/net*')
Enable this instead
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth0')
You might be able to connect with alarmpi instead of ip address

[lsas]

unfortunately not.

From inside xbmc i cant reach the tty with CTRL+ALT+F1 or F2, the combination does not work.

When try exit to console, i've just 2maybe 3 seconds and i cant do the login..

Can you mount on another Linux and delete rm /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/xbmc.service

[lsas]

Thath was my last chance..

So i'll try that way.
But any suggestion on how to disable automatic restart of xbmc?

[pepedog]

If you delete the service and manually run xinit /usr/bin/xbmc it won't pop up again.

[lsas]

but i'd like to keep the start at boot via systemd
i want to disable only th restart after exit...

[pepedog]

As per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Editing_provided_unit_files
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mkdir /etc/systemd/system/xbmc.service.d/
nano /etc/systemd/system/xbmc.service.d/stoprestart.conf
# paste this in
[Service]
RestartSec=10000')
This will stop xbmc restarting for 10000 seconds

Another way is to edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/xbmc.service and remove obvious line, but an upgrade will delete the change

[lsas]

Yeah i had already the same idea.
After the previous post i google systemd and found a complete documentation of how to write the .service file

So after looking inside the xbmc.service i've changed the Restart option from always to on-failure

Thanks by the way pepedog for your precious support.
