Hello all, I'm trying run XBMC on Ubuntu Natty upgraded from Maverick updated from Lucid and since Maverick XBMC crashes when I try to run it.
When I was using Ubuntu Lucid I installed XBMC from PPA repository, after the upgrade to Maverick XBMC never runs again, I tried download the stable release source code and git code and the problem is the same, the problem is the following :

flavio@holanda:~/Downloads/xbmc/git/xbmc$ /opt/XBMC/bin/xbmc
Running DIL (3.6.0) Version
DtsDeviceOpen: Opening HW in mode 0
DtsDeviceOpen: Create File Failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Crash report available at /home/flavio/xbmc_crashlog-20110712_142838.log

A interesting snippet of this log is :

The problem appears to be a call to dbus function dbus_message_iter_recurse() on
ParseVariant() method.

Someone knows how to solve theses problems ?

Thanks

I had issues with XBMC quitting on 11.04 until I switched to the unstable build:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa

They call it unstable, but I haven't had a crash on it yet...

Good luck!

Thank you akula34, now I'm using Ubuntu Natty, and using this PPA but it doesn't has the xbmc packages, the way to avoid the crash was disactivate the DBus on XBMC, on xbmc/system.h I commented the lines

//#define HAS_DBUS
//#define HAS_DBUS_SERVER

and XBMC started OK

I ran XBMC in other machine with Debian Unstable on this morning and it ran Ok.
Really theres some kind of problem with DBus included from Ubuntu Maverick and Maverick and XBMC.

Thanks for help
Flavio
