This method no longer works as the ushare dev removed the debian repo:

Perfect directions. A few variable names have changed with the current package (1.1a-0ubuntu5), but regardless the setup went easily and worked right away for my Xbox, thanks to your tips! Cheers.

Hmm…. after restarting the ushare, it says that “no shares available”, even thought the folder it is pointing to, is full of videos. I am confused.

I am unable to have my 360 see the videos in my directories. Also, when I add additional mount points, I continually get permissions errors. I double checked and all the drives have the same permissions. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I configured ushare as described, and I still get “Interface eth0 is down.” Don’t understand why this is happening.

I get to the point that I try to start ushare by
“invoke-rc.d ushare start”, and get the following response:
.: 369: 3: Too many open files
invoke-rc.d: initscript ushare, action “start” failed.
I just haven’t been able to figure out how to begin debugging it.

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been a big fan of linux for a long time, but the only reason I don’t have it installed is because I could not (or at least thought I couldn’t) stream media to the 360.

This article will make go to a full blown linux OS on my pc.

Cheers :)
