Hi I'm new to xbmc and have a problem I have searched on line for help but have no luck. When I go to open xbmc it opens for about 5 secs and then closes. The crash log is detailed below maybe it could explain what is going wrong. I would greatly appreciate any help as I have been trying to solve this issue for about 5 days

############ END XBMC CRASH LOG #############

Hi I no longer need help as I have got the issue sorted.

I completely wiped xbmc on the terminal in ubuntu then uninstalled it and reinstalled it again and so far no more issues with it closing.

Glad you got it sorted - as a general comment, it's very difficult to see what could be the problem from a regular log file like the above. In future, can you grab a debug log (wiki) and use a paste site like xbmclogs.com, please - it'd have much more information included. It may well be an issue with the fact you're using a pre-release build of Ubuntu, for example, and thus a packaging problem with XBMC or the OS in some way - that would perhaps show in a full log.

As an aside, as a newcomer to XBMC, be aware that Gotham (XBMC 13.0) is due out in the near future, so you may well need to switch to the XBMC PPA instead of relying on the official Ubuntu one, as they tend to go out of date for packaged software. HOW-TO:Install_XBMC_for_Linux (wiki)

Thank you very much for the information the help is appreciated and I will take it all into consideration if I occour any more problems
