[LINUX] XBMC crash at startup after nvidia driver update - sberk - 2010-10-24 hi, I performed an update on my Fedora 13 box. with this update the nvidia driver version 260.19.12 was installed. since the new drivers are installed xbmc crashes directly at the start - see this crashlog: Quote:############## XBMC CRASH LOG ############### at first I tried building xbmc again using the latest version available in the svn - same result . than I tried running xbmc from within gdb - now the crash is not occurring :confused2:. I also tried to open xbmc in the gdb using the core file, but since the crash occurred directly within the libGL thread this also did not give me any clues. any suggestions how to figure out what is wrong? does somebody else have this problem? cheers, sberk - opdenkamp - 2010-10-24 apparently there is a problem when calling /usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so.1, which is installed by the nvidia driver. try reinstalling the driver or install the previous driver you had. - sberk - 2010-10-24 I already figured out that it's a problem of the nvidia driver - going back to the old version may fix my problem temporarily, but I rather prefer to figure out why XBMC is no longer working with the current driver (and get this fixed). any idea why XBMC is running if started from within gdb, but crashing if started normally? - opdenkamp - 2010-10-26 sberk Wrote:I already figured out that it's a problem of the nvidia driver - going back to the old version may fix my problem temporarily, but I rather prefer to figure out why XBMC is no longer working with the current driver (and get this fixed).it's failing here: Code: if (SDL_Init(sdlFlags) != 0) - Anssi - 2010-10-30 I'm investigating this issue since yesterday. It is definitely a non-XBMC issue, though. You can workaround it by running Code: export __GL_SINGLE_THREADED=1 Alternatively you can downgrade your NVIDIA driver to 256.x. This issue only exists with 260.x. I'll post more information once I have it. - Anssi - 2010-10-31 I've reported this at NVIDIA forums with more background information: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=156665 - Flomaster - 2010-10-31 for me it seems to be a Dharma beta4 problem... I have downgraded my Nvida to 260.19.04 and it still crashing , I found this thread so I downgraded to 256.53 and its still crashing when trying to play a movie or tv show. here is a crash log with 256.53 http://flomaster.pastebin.com/BRd3q0gX also when trying to access audio mixer via addons > audio mixer I only get a screen that looks like this. -=Jason=- - X3lectric - 2010-10-31 I have no issue with this and I am running 260.19.12 final the version you guys are using is not final, I was previously running 256.53, also from a ppa (I never recommend installing the nvidia drivers from the run package) All I did was use aptitude (type aptitude in terminal) selected the 260.19.12 from the ppa use and it did the job. (it removed all dkms from previous driver and inserted new ones as well as building the module for the kernel). So this is not video driver related but I bet is your OS version instead, since I am using xbmcbuntu style install and running karmic. Also I notice a PAE kernel at the top post, I have noticed over 2 years now, that many issues also come from using these crappy kernels, there is no valid reason to use a PAE (physical address extension) kernel, if you have 4gb of ram or more use 64bit instead. - Anssi - 2010-10-31 Flomaster Wrote:for me it seems to be a Dharma beta4 problem...The topic of this thread is "crash at startup after nvidia driver update". Since your crash didn't happen after a driver update, and it doesn't even happen on startup, your issue is not relevant to this thread. Could you repost it as a new thread?

Also, I've confirmed this issue with 260.19.12 as well. X3lectric Wrote:All I did was use aptitude (type aptitude in terminal) selected the 260.19.12 from the ppa use and it did the job. (it removed all dkms from previous driver and inserted new ones as well as building the module for the kernel).So either this doesn't affect Ubuntu, or you do not have the exact same conditions that I've listed in the NVIDIA forum post (pulse installed but disabled, etc). Thus far I've gotten reports of this issue on Fedora 13 and Mandriva 2010.1 and Mandriva Cooker. And yes, it is not yet confirmed whether the actual bug is in the video driver, gcc, glibc (or something else). But as downgrading to 256.x fixes it, it makes the video driver a suspect.

Same Issue - kickit2 - 2010-11-02 I'm having the same issue here. Any word on this. 256.53 seems to have other issues that while rare, are still there (random blocking and tyling or random hanging of picture for 2-3 seconds every hour or so). - Anssi - 2010-11-02 kickit2 Wrote:I'm having the same issue here. Any word on this. No news from NVIDIA yet on a possible fix. In the meantime, you can workaround the issue by using Code: export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa - X3lectric - 2010-11-02 @ Ansii I run xbmcbuntu VERY custom install (see my sig) and suffer none of these issues, perhaps its related to other distros only. I have tested xbmclive beta4 and upgraded the video driver to 260 with no issues. Obviously went back to my imaged setup which works WAY better which is based on karmic minimal running on asrock ion 330 HT. good find on that fix perhaps it can be made more permanent, cant it not be modeprobed? SND_AUDIODRIVER=alsa - kickit2 - 2010-11-03 Anssi Wrote:No news from NVIDIA yet on a possible fix. Thanks for the workaround - I can second this as a functional approach. However, with this workaround in place, I have no navigation sounds (simple click and such xbmc makes when navigating menus and such). Is this just me or is this a side effect of forcing alsa? Shawn XBMC working again on FC14 - popelheini - 2010-11-03 I had exactly the same issue with xbmc on FC13 after upgrade of libGL.so Today I made an upgrade to FC14 and ... xbmc is working. Nvidia is still on 260.19.12 but it's not crashing (only sound doesn't work for now) Fingers crossed Popel - Anssi - 2010-11-12 This issue is fixed in NVIDIA driver version 260.19.21 Changelog says: Quote:Fixed a race condition in OpenGL that could cause crashes with multithreaded applications. kickit2, sorry for missing your question. Don't really know about the nav sounds, I don't use them. I guess it doesn't matter anymore as the workaround become unnecessary. |
