Hi There
First of all I am a complete n00b to linux. I collected all the xbmc ubuntu tutorials I found on the internet and started to build my dedicated XBMC HTPC with the ubuntu mini iso (latest jaunty) and the latest SVN (maybe a bad idea but I decided to follow the TUTs)
Unfortunately those tutorials where very different to each other and the ways how I could realize the HTPC based on linux seem infinite. Therefore i would be really greatfull to receive some guidence through this jungle.
What have I done so far?
1. Installed Ubuntu Jaunty with only ssh-server enabled
2. I created a file named xbmc.org.list list wich contains :
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/thefirstm/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/thefirstm/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
5. svn checkout https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot...xport/XBMC
6. ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-pulse
7. make -j2
8. sudo make install
After this point I thought let's give it a try as I really had (have) no idea what I installed when I entered this magic words "sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc"
9. typed in "xbmc" to start it.
10. I received the following message:
XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering.
Install an appropriate graphics driver.
11. Tried to install latest nvidia driver for my geforce 8300
12. running NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14-pkg1.run gave me a kernel error and failed.
13. Downloaded AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17 and ran it
14. Upgrade went fine and after this point I was able to install the geforce driver.
but xbmc ist not working
it still says:
glxinfo: not found
XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering.
Install an appropriate graphics driver.
I will now try to recompile and reinstall the whole thing before I go to bed. I guess I did some stuff right but in wrong order. so maybe its not completly messed up
thx for all tips
