Hi,

I have the latest xbmc live installed on my ASrock htpc ion system. I tried to install the latest stable Nvidia 275.21 drivers on this system and now xbmc won't start at all. Below are the steps that I followed for driver update:

Quote:1. Close XBMC
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
4. wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...275.21.run
5. sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.21.run

Now after reboot, I see the xbmc Media Center loading screen and after this it goes directly to the login prompt. I tried logging in as xbmc user and tried to start xbmc using command "xinit xbmc-standalone" but get following errors:
