Hi guys,
I switched from Windows to Ubuntu two days ago. Everything works great (video, audio, performance, etc.), but I get frequent, intermittent crashes in menus. XBMC crashes at least every 30 minutes if it is not busy playing video. The error is often a segfault and sometimes a "bus error". I am at my wits' end and would really appreciate advice .
Ideas and things tried so far:
Please let me know if you have any ideas to try or need more info.

- Crash & Debug log:
- 2 segfaults: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1549861/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1549991/
- Bus error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1549931/
- 2 segfaults: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1549861/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1549991/
- Distro: Ubuntu 12.10 3.5.0-22-generic
- Architecture: x86_64
- Installation Method
- Ubuntu minimal + Bram77's Automated install script
- Script installs wsnipex PPA's xbmc-xvba
- No window manager - xbmc starts with "xinit xbmc --standalone"
- Ubuntu minimal + Bram77's Automated install script
- XBMC version: XBMC 12.0-RC3 Git:0ab56a7
- Hardware: Zotac ZBOX AD12 ATI HD7340, 8GB RAM
- Reproduction Steps
It happens intermittently, but I just start streaming radio and wait 5-15 minutes to reproduce the error. XBMC may be scanning and getting artwork in the background.
Ideas and things tried so far:
- I installed the latest Catalyst drivers (rev13.1 / v9.1.11), but it did not fix the problem.
- I played around with lots of system settings, but it did not help.
- GPU temperature gets up to 75°C which should still be okay. I did not monitor it in Windows.
- When X starts, it shows this warning:
Code:Loading extension GLX
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0@0:1:1) found - These two lines show in my syslog with every crash. I am not sure if it is a cause or result of the problem... The first line is logged slightly before the XBMC crash logs and the second line after the log.
Code:Jan 19 20:46:37 kernel: [ 483.514057] [fglrx] ATIF platform detected with notification ID: 0x81
Jan 19 20:48:04 kernel: [ 569.585486] uvesafb: mode switch failed (eax=0x34f, err=0). Trying again with default timings.
Please let me know if you have any ideas to try or need more info.
