Debian Kodi crashing when I launch it
#1
Hello everyone.

I've been making some optimisation for my battery life, disabling my Radeon video card to use the intel integrated one.

So here's my videocard information :
Code:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Mars XTX [Radeon HD 8790M] [1002:6606] (rev ff) (prog-if ff)

I have this parameters passed into grub command :

Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i915.enable_fbc=1 i915.enable_rc6=7 i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.enable_psr=1 pcie_aspm=force

My uname -a is :

Code:
Linux edouard-laptop 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3 (2016-01-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux

The kodi version I'm using is :

Code:
Kodi from Debian (15.2 Git: (unknown)). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit

As you saw I'm on x86_64 architecture.

And lastly this is the crashlog with the stacktrace and everything : http://xbmclogs.com/pzhtxs6ms

Kodi worked before my GPU tweak for battery life so I think it's caused by the parameters I passed to GRUB.

good luck getting a stable system with those kernel params. There is a good reason those are not default, specially rc6=7..
Anyway, the bug is not in kodi, but in the kernel drivers.

Okay thank you. I haven't had any other problem for now. I'll try to remove params to get kodi working then.

Your kernel is btw. older than my oldest pair of shoes :-) Use something > 3.19 at least cause of the severe bugs that were fixed for Haswell since then.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
