[Endeavour79]

@Endeavour79, @dermute:

The howto suggest posting logfiles, please do so.

You're right. Logfile links in your inbox.

I hate reading PMs, especially with logfiles, cause I mostly have to explain every PM to at least 10 people which all have the same problem. So post them in this thread here and make 100% sure, you did not skip a single step of this howto.

From what I see: /home/xbmc/startxbmc.sh could be missing (check the howto)

Thanks fritsch. I already checked every step from the howto. startxbmc.sh exists exactly as described in the hwoto.
Also xbmc does start, but then the flickering disco starts. The flicker actually already starts with the first grey XBMC logo, just before the AEON logo, which also flickers already.


For completeness..here are the logs to the flicker & audio player crashes xbmc problem:

This is with the screen disco..(2sec on/off flickering)

I let the system run and played an Audio Stream because I noticed that after a few minutes XBMC crashes. (Maybe when going in some kind of energy saving mode?)
This are the logs after the crash. (The lightdm service crashed, after restarting it, XBMC was back)
