Upgrade to what version - 3.17 ? I was using 3.16.7 (as suggested in the 2nd post).


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2015-06-26

No. Give me the upstart log of the kodi job, it will tell the issue. It's most likely not kernel related, but a step you missed in the howto.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - semolina - 2015-06-26

ok. I will check this. Thanks! I will report back incl. the log as soon as I get my hands on the box again (not this weekend).

I just executed this step - now everything is fine. Stupid me!


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - semolina - 2015-06-29

One minor thing that still annoys me a little bit is a wrong temperature displayed under System settings for the GPU (10°C - up to 13°C under load). This is definitively not related to the kodi software, so I can not expect an answer here. But maybe somebody had the same "problem" with his/her AMD APU and is able to point me to a solution if there is one. Thanks anyway!

That was quick.

M/B Temp: +34.0°C (high = +55.0°C, hyst = +50.0°C) sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp: +38.0°C (high = +80.0°C, hyst = +75.0°C) sensor = thermistor

I think you want those, right?

Use those two instead of the other cputempcommand in advancedsettings.xml

Code:
<cputempcommand>sensors|sed -ne "s/CPU Temp: \+[-+]\([0-9]\+\).*/\1 C/p"</cputempcommand>



RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - semolina - 2015-06-29

This is what I already changed regarding the CPU temp.
I was not sure what "M/B Temp" actually is. I would have thought another sensor somewhere on the MainBoard.
But if You think it actually is the Graphics core, then of course that would be an easy solution as well...


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2015-06-29

Yeah, on APUs GPU/CPU most likely have the same temperature.

Hi, I have a problem while following your guide. It seems the packages or dependencies is broken somehow. The only strange thing that I have done is upgrade from Ubuntu (server) 13.10 to 14.04. Upgrade itself when fine, but now when I want to Install Kodi, I get
Code:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kodi-bin : Depends: libsdl2-2.0-0 (>= 2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I see other people have similar problems, but they just pulled down deb manually and installed SDL. Is this the right course of action? Isn't this a symptom of a deeper problem with my packages?

More info about my setup here Thanks

have you tried running either of these two commands?
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Code:
sudo apt-get install -f

Yes, and they both returned without any interesting output. Still have same problem when trying to installing Kodi.

Please note that my installation uses Ubuntu server, and doesn't seem to have mesa or libsdl2 installed.

When trying to install SDL2 directly by using
Code:
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0
I get
Code:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libsdl2-2.0-0 : Depends: libwayland-egl1-mesa (>= 10.0.2) or
                          libwayland-egl1
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Is iy my package setup that is broken or am I missing something?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Diederik - 2015-06-29

After removing all the bad saucy packages, my kodi install worked. I'm definitely thinking twice before adding random PPA's next time.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - User 143004 - 2015-07-05

Nothing was changed to my fresh setup however all of a sudden I get no more sound from my installation. I can play music from the lib but no sound is being output. Please advise, thanks.
