RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Endeavour79 - 2014-02-17

Upgraded to Kernel 3.13.3 and did apt-get update and now xbmc is crashing and restarting after finishing playback instead of going back to menu.
Just wanted to let you guys know..

I've been getting the same problem lately. It keeps saying there's a segmentation fault.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-02-17

Try to get an xbmc.log and also provide all the logs the howto wants.

For a reasonable crashlog: sudo apt-get install gdb before.

I've been running 3.13.3 since it came out and never experienced the reported bug until this morning after testing on my two identical setups (Minus audio capabilities). I just watched a movie on the BEDHTPC and it crashed when I hit stop. Below is the relevant information for you fritsch:

crashlog:

dmesg:

dpkg w/mesa:

EDIT: P.S gdb was installed but nothing in the stack trace in the log.

2 separate screens are fine, at the moment XBMC display is output to both the laptop LCD and on the TV. I mainly use a remote to control XBMC on TV but not on the laptop screen. It would be great if I can get XBMC run in the background and video out only to TV so that I can use the laptop LCD for Ubuntu applications.

Ah.. same happened here, I am new to XBMC, since it immediately restarted automatically so it act as if this is normal...


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-02-18

Try to capture logfiles. There must be a crashlog in the home directory.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2014-02-18

FYI: the latest XBMC build is not upgrading properly.

Can you be even more inconcrete? :-)

Seems like a build failure - only for i386.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - brandonden - 2014-02-18

Ten minuets after successfully completing your how to using Linux 64-bit (Ubuntu 13.10, 3.13.3-031303-generic x86_64) I accepted the update which partially removed xbmc.

Here are the logs from before the update:

the user is supposed to check what apt is telling him. If it says its going to remove xbmc, then don't press Y.
I fixed it in meantime, the package will be available in a couple of minutes.

Agreed late night. New to Ubuntu and xbmc.
Thank you
