Thanks, thought xbmcbuntu ships with xfce. But both are ok for me.
What do you mean with window compositing? Incompatibility XBMC with Unity DE?
Thats very well know, that compositing and xbmc is incompatible since years now.
Just as a note here to users trying to run this on AMD APUs (I have a Richland based APU, but this probably applies to Trinity based APUs as well).
If you try to run the installer straight through without booting into the live environment, the default ISO doesn't set up the Radeon OSS driver for OpenGL properly.
The solution is to simply sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (or update the packages using Synaptic, your choice) and it works properly.
Thanks for building this lightweight distro, I'm enjoying it so far.
Hello,
Bad news for AMD users, i saw that information on phoronix "Linux 3.14 Isn't Going To Make It Into Ubuntu 14.04 LTS" ;(
So we (amd users) would need to install kernel via ppa
For install 3.14 kernel, look here:
http://www.distrogeeks.com/install-linux...-ubuntu/2/
And as soon as I post I read the post before my one.
Yup sudo apt-get update & apt-get dist-upgrade did the trick.
Thanks
got the following when trying to install xbmcbuntuv13b2 iso
http://puu.sh/859cQ/2db65e3260.jpg
also seemed to take an inordinate time after hitting "Install XbmcBuntu" from the bootmenu for it to actually begin the install process, or it could just be me.
Doesn't seem to have harmed the installation in anyway, just notating it in case it's a bug.
just a check, but should add-apt-repository command be missing from the XBMCBuntu install by default?

What's your issue with the 3.13 kernel? I have seen you posting that in the other thread, too.
Hello Fritsch,
Yes maybe you saw me on openelec's forum and on radeon oss thread.
The problem with my AMD fusion e-350 (radeon HD 6310) is that impossible to have perfect 23,98p With 3.13 kernel.
I need mesa patch which is on 3.14 kernel .
So for this reason, i use openelec 4 beta 5 which 3.14 kernel but you are to be well placed tout know that
And finally, if i consider video quality, xvba is still more shiny than oss radeon.
I love open-source and i'm under linux since many years ago so i hope that will be good
Mesa is not(!!) in the kernel.
Mesa is a userspace lib and has nothing to do with Modeline Setting. You most likely talk about the 24p PLL patch for the drm, which is also not in 3.14 kernel, but only in OpenELEC, cause I pushed it there. It will come to mainline with 3.15 kernel.
So in short: If you rely to that 23.976 playback patch - there is currently nothing official, nothing released that will fix that issue. I think of preparing 3.14 kernels for easy installation.
Thanks for the explain, i understand my mistake.
But now i use openelec 3.95.5 and all works fine and i have 23.98p with my Zotac AD10 (amd e-350), thanks to you for great job.
So if you put the patch on XBMCbuntu, i will try because i prefer xbmcbuntu, more customisable and boot more pretty tanh openelec
What do you think about the new version of mesa's Updated and Optimized Open Graphics Drivers (oibaf) ? (
