When you say remember to replace xbmc with your username, and assuming my username is "htpc" would I be doing this: Code: sudo usermod -a -G audio htpc Also since I wont be installing XBMC Live should I just do a standard, nothing special, xbmc install like this from the wiki page: Code: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config Thanks! - harryzimm - 2010-06-01 The Chef Wrote:Im installing Lucid Desktop right now to give it a shot. When you say remember to replace xbmc with your username, and assuming my username is "htpc" would I be doing this: Yeah, that should do it. cheers - The Chef - 2010-06-01 Awesome thanks Harry, Also is it necessary for me to boot with command prompt for this or can I just use the terminal? If I need to boot with command prompt how do I do that? - The Chef - 2010-06-01 Figured it out: hit ctrl+alt+f1 Well I went through the whole thing and only hit one problem at this point: Quote:Then we will generate a xorg.conf file and put it on the right place. You can use the Howto achieve judder free perfectly synced playback later. It popped up with an error saying something like "Your currently running x-server, exit x-server" or something like that. So I just hit OK assuming that since Im using the Desktop Ubuntu maybe its already installed. But now if I try and run XBMC its SUPER slow and laggy - just the menu interface. So I went to Hardware Drivers to download the NVIDIA driver and it says "There are no drivers for excising hardware" so I think i screwed something up with that. Any ideas? - harryzimm - 2010-06-01 I think first you need to kill the x-session. Code: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop cheers - The Chef - 2010-06-01 OK so I ran you script to shut it off and then did this: Code: sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.25-pkg1.run It began downloading the driver and finished and says: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This happens most frequently when this kernel module was built against the wrong or improperly configured kernel sources, with a version of gcc that differs from the one used to build the target kernel , or if a driver such as rivafb/nvidiafb is present and prevents the NVIDIA kernel module from obtaining ownership of the NVIDIA graphic devices..... So what did I mess up - harryzimm - 2010-06-01 check the guide for the solution. - The Chef - 2010-06-01 Ill check it out. Thanks a ton for your help - majkelos - 2010-06-01 Finally, actually best tutorial. One thing is not working for me. My prayes not helped and after install xbmc-live and reboot I have black screen. By typing: "sudo xinit xbmc" xbmc running fine but I had problem with jutter... My investigation stop at: In xorg log i have: Fatal server error: no screens found Other strange thing: when type nvidia-settings I have: ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.

To do this type Code: cd ~ Code: sudo chown -R xbmc .xbmc Code: sudo service xbmc-live start After a reboot it should boot to xbmc cheers. - majkelos - 2010-06-01 You are genius! Thanks alot it helped. Sad is that I have still judder even now (newest driver etc) ... I don't know why. - harryzimm - 2010-06-01 majkelos Wrote:You are genius! Try disabling dolby and dts in audio settinigs and turn on sync playback to display(resample audio) and adjust refresh rate to match video in video settings. Not sure but its worth a try. cheers - majkelos - 2010-06-01 any option that checked not helped... refresh rate is changeing automatically to video source (in my case 24hz - movies are 23.97fps) my hardware Asus Eee Box 1501 ION any idea? Is seems to bigger problem: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=59990&page=12 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=70173&highlight=vdpau+drop&page=9 - Roelio - 2010-06-02 I'm had this with some movie's too. After putting back the original xorg.conf it was much better. (just the 23.97fps content is playing at 50fps) sudo nvidia-xconfig -s --no-logo --force-generate --output-xconfig=/etc/X11/xorg.conf Update: with this I have no juddering in Avatar anymore at the space part. This was the most irritating problem I had. - majkelos - 2010-06-02 hmm... I will try do this. yesterday I broken something in xbmc-live... I installed newest vdpaulib and now xbmc live is not starting automatically. I must login and write: sudo service xbmc-live start Please for help About judder: I have searched every possible forum and there is no one universal answer how to repair this issue in 100%. It is annoying that everything is almost ready and something like little droping of frames broke pleasure of entertainment... So, only option is wait for mirracle solution. |
