https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/jaunty-ppa

and when I start it, it displays a screen for a second and dies. The terminal says the following, but I can't figure out whats wrong. Using the nvidia driver that ubuntu recomended:
Thanks for any help....

Ugh... please read the "how to post a problem in a useful manner" sticky.

And what have I missed, described the error, said it's ubuntu 9.04, from where I installed the app, what video card I have, what else should I put?
I installed it with apt-get after adding and signing sources. I have nvidia accelerated driver, version 180. The app, when I start it, displays the screen for a second and aborts. I believe the reason can be found in the copy of terminal output I put in the previous post.
Didn't see any similar problems somewhere on the net. Just problems with ATI drivers.

You missed about everything important for a developer to see what could be causing your troubles. Go read the sticky again and then provide the following: a debug log, a gdb backtrace - both on a service like pastebin please, don't spam the forums with log output.

What Al meant is provide a FULL debug log on pastebin...not some snippets directly in the post. We don't even know which version you're running.

I apologize, I thought debug log and terminal output were the same thing.
So my xbmc.log should be here:
http://d.cl1p.net/xbmc_log/

hm, and here as you prefer http://pastebin.com/m41ce313b

Unfortunately, I don't see anything strange in the logs.. I'm about to go find alternatives to this...

Please search. Pretty sure this has been covered before.

Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf.

Remove the wins in there. This isn't a bug with XBMC. But you are more than welcome to use something else with that attitude.

I have a short fuse. Often blurt out stuff and later regret it. Sorry. But when applications that are said to be stable break on a clean system and a fresh instalation I tend to get a bit nervous, as the reason I formated my Vista partition and put Linux (again), for my would me media/file/application/web/sql home server station...

I managed to get everything but this working, Apache, Mysql, samba server, webmin. Everything but this, and I want it. SO SORRY, PLEASE HELP ME

I actually put wins in there to make samba work with names. Will try to remove it if you say it could help. I searched for a similar problem, but couldn't find anything that would help me. Believe me I search first, and hate to ask for help as I know how it ends up... I'm talking too much... grrr...

Report back after removing wins. Should work after that. Search google and you'll see other programs exhibit the same crashes due to that.

Hey, reporting back. After I removed wins, the error changed. At the end of xbmc.log at http://pastebin.com/m9c9452 it says SQLite error. I installed Sqlite3, and php-sqlite from synaptic (which weren't installed before) and nothing changed. Any ideas?

Yaaaaay, I managed to start XBMC, and I'll be nice and post the answer to previous error. So if you get in your xbmc.log error like ERROR: SQLite: SQL error or missing database you have to delete the directory /home/user/.xbmc/userdata
When you delete userdata, restart XBMC and don't ask me why it works?
Bye and let's waste some time watching movies....

xbmc 9.04.2+svn21496-jaunty1
kubuntu 9.04
x86_64
installed from xbmc-svn ppa (http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu)
svn revision 21496

Happens every time - I launch xbmc, shows the splash screen, checks the DVD (you can hear it started), and closes with just a "aborted" on the terminal.

The xbmc.log is here, and the backtrace here.
Can anyone help me with this? I've tried with the DVDS empty or with a DVD inside, and doesn't change anything. It just aborts as soon as it seems it is about to show the main screen.

Thanks.

Just updated to 9.04.2+svn21650-jaunty1

Now the error is slightly more verbose:
If needed, I can supply again the xbmc.log and the gdb backtrace.

Updated to 9.04.2+svn21688-jaunty1, still fails the same way.
