When I try to start XBMC Frodo, running on Ubuntu 12.10 - it crashes with a segmentation fault. I can run it from the command line with 'sudo xbmc' or from the gui with gksudo xbmc - but do not want to have to do that. Here is the crash log:

I was crashing no matter how I started it. I ened up marking ONLY xbmc for complete removal then applying the mark xbmc-bin for install and apply then mark xbmc for install and apply. I got all my addons and settings back this way.
BTW I got spanked for not using pastebin.com for crash logs. FYI

just found out my method of fixing frodo reverted me back to eden

Threads merged. Please don't double-post and please don't paste logs directly in your posts. See Forum_rules (wiki).

If you wish to refocus attention on a question/problem you posed in a thread that hasn't received responses, you can "bump" it after 24 hours rather than starting another thread on the same subject.

I confirm this is also happening to me, not always.

I managed to fix my issue. Turns out if I started xbmc with my hdmi tv off, it crashed. Looking for a fix, found out that it was caused because xbmc couldn't read the edid. My hardware is an i3 with intel graphics.

So I did:
sudo apt-get install read-edid
sudo get-edid | parse-edid

and added the result of that command (the section Monitor) to my xorg.conf at /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Rebooted and now no crashes when the tv is off.

Hope this helps others.
