I take it that is for an installed version?
I have the same problem, though outleradams tipp worked for normal livecd boot from a usb stick, it doesnt work, when I use the boot option toram. What can I do?
Edit:
It works now, I forgot to add noredir and delete persistent from the grub kernel options
I'm sorry for asking but is there a way available for Linux Noobs ?!
If not please tell me where I should type the lines .... THX
so is there a fix for those of us booting off the cd? I'm assuming what outleradam mentioned won't work.
Yeah. I'm seeing the same thing. Looks like the latest Live CD version is broken, at least on some hardware.
Same for me on mz AMD CPU
This message appears for everyone on the livecd and has nothing to do with the problem. The reason that you're getting to a login prompt is because X failed to start. It would be very helpful if everyone having this issue would
pastebin their /var/log/Xorg.0.log . $1 says most are on old crappy nvidia cards or ATI.
I repeat: please
pastebin your X log.

I would do this if I knew where to find those files ...
Yea, I don't know how to do that either...
I know that I am using old crappy (64mb) ATI cards, have tried it on two machines with two different (ATI) cards and I get the same errors.
One issue might be that ATI has dropped support for a lot of legacy cards and so they (the proprietary binaries) don't work with the updated x
The open source drivers do work with x, but there is no option on the live cd for open source drivers.
Anybody know if this option is available in the installed version?
look at /var/log
edit: theuni even wrote down the path btw
*bump* Can someone use the log files to find out, what went wrong?

Unfortunately nothing in those says anything about X.
It'd be helpful if you could login (xbmc/xbmc) and startx, then pastebin the output if it fails or log if it succeeds.

I got the same error booting from a live cd. Was able to xstart and the os gui opened. I tried to run xbmc from the video menu, but got an opengl error.
