Kodi Community Forum

Hi fellow xbmc users and xbmc developers, first of many many thanks for a great media center!

I have been having problems all day getting new a new XBMC build working. I have had a working XBMC build for a month since I build a new HTPC. As the title says i get the following error in /var/log/syslog:

Code:
Jan  3 15:15:51 chronos kernel: [ 8376.104833] xbmc.bin[16963]: segfault at 0 ip           (null) sp 00007fff68e81c78 error 14 in xbmc.bin[400000+1116000]

I have tried to search for the specific error both on forums, google and even in the xbmc github code base but could not find defines for such error messages.

Specifications and logs

Hardware:
Motherboard: ASUS C8HM70-I/HDMI
RAM: Corsair 4GB DDR3 PC3-10600 1333MHz SO-DIMM (9-9-9-24) (CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9).

Linux:
Distro: Debian 7.3
Arch: x86_64
Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1

XBMC:
Release: 12.3 | Also tried building source from github
Build: Compiling with commands: sudo ./bootstrap ; sudo ./configure --enable-vdpau --enable-vaapi --enable-crystalhd --enable-libbluray --enable-nfs --enable-airplay ; sudo make ; sudo make install

XBMC is built successfully and placed what I presume is correct:

Code:
chronos@chronos:/usr/src/xbmc-12.3-Frodo$ sudo make install

[sudo] password for chronos:

Copying XBMC binary to /usr/local/lib/xbmc/

You can run XBMC with the command 'xbmc'

Copying support and legal files...

Done!

############# END STACK TRACE ###############

I do now quite understand if either libcec nor alsa would be the problem since it was working before i begin building the new version and if im not completely deranged or got struck by Alzheimer i have done nothing with the htpc more than rebooted it in hopes that some unloaded module was missing. But if this tells someone anything please do tell me and point to what i have done wrong Big Grin

If i have left out anything just tell me what output you need and ill update this post with it!

See http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=181126

I have a Q

Why would you want or think you need to compile with --enable-vdpau --enable-vaapi --enable-crystalhd? Seems to me you only need --enable-vaapi as you dont have neither a crystalhd car nor a nvidia GPU.

And my only observation aside from that, is that you wont be able to run XBMC in Debian especially compiling it without major pains hence link I posted above.

Then It seem your system is conking out at some libcec related incident, which even if it werent for that, I doubt it would run properly as your log XBMC log doesnt even list gpu, so I wonder is it even supported?? idk what gpu you have either you list the motherboard and ram (who cares about those) they are the least relevant to running XBMC.. the GPU is most important as It requires hardware acceleration.

I would aslo add that if that CPU has onboard GPU (which XBMC can use) given the Haswell implication that you need kernel 3.12 at very least not to speak of Mesa.

In any case refer to the link above. Also because you say you had XBMC running but mention not what or how.

The configuration lines has followed during the 4-5 years I have runned XBMC and has always been compiled, without any problem what so ever =) and formerly have had broadcom crystalhd and later on NVIDIA cards =)

I have found during hours of searching that that X/Xorg no longer is able to make an xorg.conf and foudn that X gives this error message:

Code:
Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.

Thirdly I have always compiled XBMC from tar.gz or git due to that Debian proclaimed that XBMC never will be made public through public repos =) So back in the days when i started with XBMC i started out, well from scratch, trying to figure out all the package dependencies and build atleast 2 official releases on my old server and recently an v13-alpha and that has runned until today when the whole setup went bonkers.. =)

its probably due to a too old libcec version. If you don't need it, disable cec: --disable-libcec
Otherwise upgrade it at least 2.1.x

If you are interested, here is a quite recent gotham build for wheezy: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/apt/debian/stable/
Its a test apt repo.

Code:
deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/apt/debian stable/

should work as apt source. Feedback would be welcome

Ah intressesting. Should test that yes =) Been hard to find any good up-to-date xbmc package. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the input about libcec and looking into if the version is outdated.

Again the link I posted is also of help to you since its regarding same Debian repos.

Actually this problem is all about xorg and xserver, for some... *censoured harsh words* ... effin xorg utterly refuses to start the xserver, no configuration for Intel HD graphics is being correctly probed or whatever it does... Sincerly have no clue anymore why x wont start...

Probably need a much higher version of mesa and kernel/drivers depending on GPU., who knows, It was looking at libcec too but it failed to even go as far as that, idk.

You have support links for XBMC from Debian, so make use of it.

I ranned xbmc v13-alpha( cant really member which github changeset/changelist ) with lesser versions of mesa/intel hd than i have tried to install( took intel´s supported links from here https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads ). Going through the logs indicates that xorg/xserver is commucating over the HDMI cable with the connected hardware( Harman/Kardon, plasma screen ) and is receiving supported resolutions but the xorg -configure command still states the error i gave earlier and xserver wont start.

idk. go pull the XBMC from Debian and ask the guy. Libcec is broken anyway either remove it or go ove 2.1.6 or whatever wsnipex said.

oh Xeon E3-1200 is haswell, right? Then you definitely need a newer mesa(and probably libva).
I recommend mesa 10

It would be much easier using ubuntu: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=165707
