Teach them whats good & whats bad all while making sure they are well fed and do not get hurt. If you buy Creatures 3 as well it connects to Docking Station giving you MUCH more room. Docking station (AKA ds) is also the only online version of creatures allowing users to send Norns to one another. Hope you like it. My user name in game is the same as my e-mail ariana_moon.

But when I try to push changes to the server, I got: abort: incoming.notify hook is invalid (import of "hgext.hgtwitter" failed) It confuses me since in python shell, import hgext.hgtwitter seems to work.

I'm running karmic 9.10 and latest xbmc svn, with a minimal install. Using /etc/rc.local stalled my system and it didn't load xbmc. So here is the fix i'm using : sudo nano /etc/init/tty2.conf replace this line : exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty2 with : exec /home/xbmc/xboxdrv/xboxdrv --silent --dpad-as-button --deadzone 3000 and it'll start on tty2 instead :) Really really enjoyed this guide, been able to reuse my old logitech wireless xbox1 controller :) Thanks !

As a result, it doesn't require you to overwrite any files and the custom 360 Keymap.xml is loaded in addition to the default global Keymap.xml so all your keyboard and joystick settings will load too. The reason why the provided Keymap.xml contains only the xboxdrv 360 entries is because the default Keymap.xml could change depending on which version of XBMC you have installed. If I pasted the default Keymap.xml bindings into my xboxdrv Keymap.xml then you wouldn't get the most up to date Keymap.xml settings from your installation of XMBC. This would mean that if XMBC added or changed keyboard or joystick bindings between versions and you used my xboxdrv Keymap.xml which contained old default bindings in addition to the custom xboxdrv 360 bindings then the old default bindings could cause problems with the new version. I would recommend using a setup where you load my xboxdrv 360 Keymap.xml in addition to a global default Keymap.xml but I do realize that not everybody can use standard installation paths and a person might want to load all their settings from one location. If you fall in this category and changing your setup is not possible then I would recommend just appending the contents of my xboxdrv 360 Keymap.xml to the end of your single default Keymap.xml file.

Now why would someone completely loose the keyboard support in xbmc for the joystick? Why cant the provided xml file be merged with the other xml file and add the 360 wireless support in addition to the existing input devices configured there?
