Hello

I am using Kodi 15.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 and am unable to play any video - Kodi crashes immediately.
Previously I was running 12.04 on the same hardware and was able to play the same videos using Kodi.
I can also play the same videos on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop, and Raspberry Pi.

The debug log is uploaded to http://xbmclogs.com/peyhqbgsb

Linux distro is Ubuntu 14.04.3, up to date as of 25/11/2015.
Hardware x86_64

paul@paul-desktop:~$ uname -a
Linux paul-desktop 3.13.0-65-generic #106-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 2 22:08:27 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
paul@paul-desktop:~$ uname -m
x86_64

Installed via PPA

Only Video add-on is YouTube. YouTube videos suffer the same fate.

GIT revision 02e7013 (Compiled Oct 19 2015)

Any help would be appreciated please! I have tried tweaking Acceleration settings as suggested elsewhere, to no effect.
Thanks
Paul

This GPU driver is not supported.*anymore*?
just asking, because it used to work.
any solution?

[fritsch]

Fix your driver. We don't support nouveau at all - if it worked you were lucky.

[sprazzi]

Now I got it, thanks.
I'm running KODI on an ASUS eeepc box EB1501.
Didn't know of this gpu. I'm no expert but i thought it run a ION-something-graphics.....

[fritsch]

You need the nvidia binary drivers - most likely an older supported legacy version. We run fine on nvidia.

[sprazzi]

reverted back to isengard, to be on the safe side; now everything is as excellent as before the *lubuntu* update...
Note to myself: don't update if not necessary....

Glad you resolved your issue sprazzi
However you hijacked my thread and my issue remains

I use on-board graphics, not a separate graphics card. From the log I posted at the start of this thread, you can see:
17:05:33 T:139654639085504 NOTICE: GL_VENDOR = Intel Open Source Technology Center
17:05:33 T:139654639085504 NOTICE: GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI Intel® 945G

17:05:33 T:139654639085504 NOTICE: GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION = 1.20
Does Isengard have an issue with Intel?
Surely not.
Is my only option to downgrade to version 14?

GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION = 1.20

Your GPU is ancient and the support kodi needs in v15 is not existent with your drivers.

[paulb42]

OK thanks very much I'll investigate downgrading.
(Or maybe it's time I looked into graphics cards!)
