debugging on Radeon OSS drivers - locomot1f - 2016-04-14
Greetings,
Been trying to get Kodi 17 (Krypton) working properly on my Linux build.
Following the debugging methods used during the Radeon OSS w/ vdpau thread:
dmesg
http://paste.ubuntu.com/15822577/
cat ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/15822589/
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/15822595/
DISPLAY=:0 vdpauinfo | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/15822602/
dpkg -l |grep mesa | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/15822606/
just getting a lot of tearing;
here's my advancedsettings.xml

Sadly not a kodi debug log. While at it: Use the default skin and remove those scripts that cause errors in your log

i hope this is a bit better.
i removed all my addons to give a more "fresh" look at the files.
so there should be no unusual scripts running to cause errors.
hope this helps. looking forward to any advice.

also,
If I leave the GUI on one screen (doesn't seem to matter which: Main, Settings, TV Shows, etc)
it will appear just fine after a few seconds. Then after about a minute of being on that screen, my screen goes black, until i try to navigate again.
RE: debugging on Radeon OSS drivers - locomot1f - 2016-04-14
hmmm..
using ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
seems to have helped.
not getting any tearing. video look good.
no drops or skips so far.
are there any drawbacks to keep this PPA
RE: debugging on Radeon OSS drivers - wsnipex - 2016-04-15
Yes, its breaking regularly, since it contains blleeding edge code
RE: debugging on Radeon OSS drivers - locomot1f - 2016-04-15
anything I can do to help getting the new Krypton working without using this bleeding edge technology?
RE: debugging on Radeon OSS drivers - fritsch - 2016-04-15
If you want - verify with an Ubuntu 16.04 installation, cause we will drop for 14.04 soon.
RE: debugging on Radeon OSS drivers - locomot1f - 2016-04-16
okay, so I tried to upgrade to 16.04
everything seemed to go okay. using systemd
then when I tried to run Kodi, it failed.
reading the log -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/15870908/
i'm now getting errors saying "Can't Open Display"
when I run xrandr, i get "Can't Open Dislpay
then i read this -- http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/ubuntu-drops-amd-catalyst-fglrx-driver-16-04
am i missing something? i feel like i'm missing a package.

RE: debugging on Radeon OSS drivers - locomot1f - 2016-04-16
yeah!!! :-D
thanks, @fritsch! that did it.
now, ?uestion number 2
it seems that with the changes xrandr is broken, and Kodi will not hold the changes I make to the resolution.
what options do I have to make this stick?
i'm doing the research. just didn't know if maybe you have run into this as well.
thanks again!

What means "xrandr" is broken?
RE: debugging on Radeon OSS drivers - locomot1f - 2016-04-16
okay, broken is a bad choice of words.
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/xrandr
it seems to ignore my xrandr command, and always defaults back to the original settings.
still playing around with it.
but at least I have my TV back! :-D

nevermind... my kodi.service was pointing to the wrong file.
cheers! and thanks again.
