ok so i am building a new HTPC and wish to run xbmcbuntu, Here is the hardware.

Amd Phenom II 3.0 Quad Core 945

my question is this to i need to use the intel-amd.iso, or the intel-nvidia
i understand the chipset on the board is amd, but the graphics drivers are nvidia. Do i need to run the amd version and update the graphics drivers to nvidia, or would i beable to run the nvidia version seeing that the board doesn't have any on board video. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also i am aware of xbmc windows but im trying to use that as a last resort.

Thanks
Kyle

Use intel-nvidia. Yes you'll get HD audio.

ok so neither are working it says it installs but then when it comes time for the restart it cant reboot the system it cant reboot. So i manually reboot it and then upon start up it bring me to the command line. Any help would be appreciated. Also to note when installing the intel-nvidia it gives me an amd_unicode error like for times and then it brings up the installer screen.

What kind of command line?

You can try updating the system with

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Or try Openelec.

tried the sudo apt-get upgrade and rebooted and did the same thing

Turns out it was the graphics drivers xbmc was loading...but got it fixed.
