Every ten minutes or so the screen goes black. But I don't think it's a crash as such because when I simply press any button on the remote the screen comes back with the video still playing.
I'm more suspecting X server or some strange 'screensaver' setting even though it's a headless Ubuntu precise system.
Since XBMC is not crashing there is no crash log.
Any ideas?
Have/had the same issue, at times even 3 or 4 in a row (VERY annoying). What may have fixed it or me, or at least made it a lot better is adding the following ServerFlags to my xorg.conf file:
I got this issue after updating to the latest AMD drivers. Sad because everything was working smooth already.
Code:Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
And the same DPMS "true" to my TV screen's section.
Off topic yet on topic: Sad to see development is not having any progress due to AMD being reluctant...

Don't invest into AMD until you know this for sure. They have a long long way to go until this will be consumable. Important features like deinterlacing or interoperation to OpenGL are still missing. Not even the basics do work properly. You know the 80/20 rule? You need 20% of the time for making 80% work. Means 80% of the effort is still to be done. Lets hope that this project does not follow fglrx and gets finished.
True, I remember I got the AMD E-350 because Asus had a motherboard which was passively cooled and very power efficient.
And with one mini-ITX board and 2 harddisks I had everything I need for a very compact and quiet mediacenter/server
Don't know if I found anything Intel/NVidia that came close to this at the time or if they do now...
