RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - jatho - 2014-08-07 Please don't flame me if this has already been answered, 205 pages is a lot to get through I've followed the howto on page one months ago and have had a happily working XBMC install ever since but I was wondering if a later version of XBMC is available? Would that be option "1b." of the current howto notes on page 1? sudo apt-get update & upgrade report errors (404 Not Found) so I can't seem to update anything. Thanks in advance. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-08-07 Most likely you are running an outdated Ubuntu Version. Canonical stopped supporting 13.04 and 13.10 - provide the logfiles from the first post and we can see.

Canonical stopped supporting 13.04 and 13.10 - provide the logfiles from the first post and we can see. Yes, its an outdated version of Ubuntu (13.04) I have tried to upgrade it in the past but it fails (error below) I suspect the issue is that the kernel version is different to what the upgrade util expects when comparing it to the OS version. An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. This can be caused by: * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu Log files, do you mean the XBMC log files? I'm not experiencing any XBMC issues, I'd just like to upgrade it to the latest release but without breaking anything i.e. HD playback. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-08-07 sorry, but specific help on how to release-upgrade ubuntu is out of scope of this thread.

Alex (agd5f) has sent the relevant patch for 3.17 inclusion.

I thought i read most parts here, but I don't know what this one does and what is getting fixed. Are you willing to give a hint ? RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-08-08 Those patches allow you to boot your htpc with the AVR and the TV off. After you switch them on - you can use them like you had booted your PC with them powered on. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Hibbelharry - 2014-08-09 Thanks for your explanation, nice feature RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - bluezed - 2014-08-11 Hi everyone, have just followed the steps to get VDPAU support working but looks like I missed something. Before installing I removed the proprietary AMD driver I had installed and rebooted. Now after following the instructions I only have a max 800x600 resolution and around 15fps. Hope you can help me... here the logs and outputs: dmesg DISPLAY=:0 vdpauinfo dpkg -l |grep mesa cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log cat ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log Sorry if it's something obvious but I'm still quite new to all this... Thanks! RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-08-11 You did not follow the howto. You are running fglrx Quote:[ 39.471768] fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. © 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel. No vdpau support with the blob. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - bluezed - 2014-08-11 Thanks for the very quick reply! I thought removing the AMD proprietary driver would be enough... obviously not... Now, I don't seem to be able to remove fglrx. I've tried several step-by-step guides which all pretty much say to do this: Code: sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-dev But after reboot the dmesg output still has the same lines in it. See here: pastebin Again sorry for being such a novice RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-08-11 Most likely a custom fglrx installation ... by running the ati-installer from AMD. Just with the howto from scratch - that will help :-) RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - bluezed - 2014-08-11 Oh, I see... Guess I'll go back to the AMD proprietary driver for now and then think about going back to Windows... sadly... Trotzdem vielen Dank! RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-08-11 Yeah - the windows way, do whatever makes you happy. |
