On Fedora 12, using xbmc-9.11-18.fc12 (both i386 or x86_64, tested on two different 64 bit machines and one 32 bit), after choosing a different skin (tested with Transparency, Back Row, MediaStream Redux), xbmc crashes every time at start.
Only Rapier skin works ok (and of course Confluence built in)
The problem happens every time, if I revert to Scott Harvanek package
xbmc-9.11-1.fc12.x86_64, all is ok.
Versions of theme used is the latest published for 9,11 xbmc.
This is the output from console:
[marco@pdm-adesk ~]$ xbmc
sh: /usr/bin/lsb_release: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/xbmc: line 90: 10870 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
/usr/lib64/xbmc/xbmc.bin "$@"
Crash report available at /home/marco/xbmc_crashlog-20100421_144807.log
[marco@pdm-adesk ~]$
On the crashlog there is nothing interesting.
I opened a bug on rpmfusion (https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1176).
According to Alex Lancaster, this can be the cause:
"I suspect this might be related to building against external Python. Scott's
package used the internally bundled version, whereas the RPM Fusion package
build against the system Python (as required by packaging guidelines for both
security and/or size of package reasons). It is known that XBMC has some
issues with using the system Python which the upstream maintainers are working
on for the next release."
Some other people can confirm?
Thank you.
