Hi,
For several weeks I am fighting with my E45M1 to have it working with Ubuntu 13.04...
3.8.0-29-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 13 19:40:39 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I also installed xbmc, following the guide given in this forum.
XBMC was working, but the PC was crashing randomly within xmbc or just using other desktop application.
I found that compiz was not helping having a stable desktop situation, so I removed it.
The PC was more stable but still, XBMC and other application were having crash problems, each time it was like a video buffer corruption, some strange artefacts were displayed, upto the moment of a system crash (more exactly a system hang).
I figured out that my radeon driver must be the problem. So I decided to jump and try catalyst 13.8.
After installation, the system is stable.
I can use many applications, VLC for instance works fine now, as well as kazam and skype.
But XBMC is now crashing just after launching.
I activated the log, but the logfile is empty.
I think it must be again a problem with some driver, maybe a compatibility problem....
So I removed XBMC (apt-get remove xbmc xbmc-bin)
and redo an installation following this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-frodo
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin
But still crash.
When it crashes, the PC reboots directly after launching XBMC.
What can I do to?
And more important, how did you do that:
I can reinstall my whole system if necessary, I just want something working...
Thank you in advance for help and time.
