Ticko Wrote:The guide almost worked :-)
I installed the Nvidia 185.13.
But after i was complete with the guide and reboot i can se the pulsating logo and after that it keeps resyncing in a loop to my tv (Pioneer plasma 1920*1080). So no Xbmc starts up.
The tv says "no signal" and after about 1s it says "1920*1080 50Hz" and its keeps doing that in a loop.
Should i use another Nvidia release?
I have a Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H motherboard and it doesnt have support for VDPAU since it is a onboard geforce 7100.
I will try the 180.41 and se if it will work.
How do i uninstall the 185.13?
When i try to install the 180.41 it says that X server is running and won't install.
I tried the command - sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop but it doesnt work.
Anyone knowing the right command to stop X server or anything that can help?
Thanks!
There is no gdm...
I don't think it will be the nvidia driver. I think you missed something in the guide or xbmc not compiled correctly.
First, check if you have a /usr/share/xbmc folder.
If you want to stop trying to start xbmc, together with X, rename runXBMC.sh:
Code:
sudo mv /usr/bin/runXBMC.sh /usr/bin/something
then reboot with sudo reboot. (then you can try to downgrade your nvidia driver as well)
You can also try from the console
Code:
startx
Then
Code:
xbmc
and see what happens.
But again, I think you missed something.
