Be aware that master is an unstable development branch.
If configure fails it makes no sense to execute make. Check the error messages, most likely it complains about a missing package. See READMA.ubuntu for changes and install required packages.

What do you mean with not getting a terminal?

I guess I didn't pay attention to see if configure fails.I'll just look again again to see what I missed on the configure.

When I hit ctrl+alt+F1 my screen goes blank and the TV says no signal. I then hit ctrl+alt+F7 (I think) and it brings me back into XBMC

I switched to Unity 2D manager and I dont have any issues with video freezing etc. I tried to fluxbox and it was fine but I couldnt suspend etc from XBMC when running fluxbox.

xbmc@XBMC:/usr/src/xbmc# sudo make install DESTDIR=$HOME/xbmc
Copying XBMC binary to /root/xbmc/usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
install: cannot stat `xbmc.bin': No such file or directory
make: *** [install-binaries] Error 1

For some reason I could never install to a DESTDIR, the installation will keep failing at different steps. I just installed to the default location.

I will look into this.
Just for curiosity, I am working on windowing on a different branch, also going to fix multi head setups. Then you will be able to iconify full screen xbmc with alt tab. Would this eliminate the need for opening a terminal like you do it now?

try ./configure --prefix=$HOME/xbmc
then normal make install

I got my make to work by disabling pulse and crystalhd. But I installed tonight with DESTDIR = $HOME/xbmc. Then I did a reboot to make sure the everything works properly. When I go to system info it shows a compile date of 4/24. This doesn't seem right to me. If it isn't right, then where did my install get installed to?

I have a XBMCbuntu installation. Do I need to be using DESTDIR or is the default for the builds the same as on a live install?

@Vanilla - try launching xbmc from terminal using the $HOME/xbmc/usr/bin/xbmc and see what version you get.

@Fernet - I have moved to Fluxbox and it gives me zero flitches, Unity 2D still had issues with jerky video.

I am also using XBMCbuntu. I do not use DESTDIR when installing. As long as you set "--prefix=/usr" at ./configure time, then it will install over top of current running XBMC.

@typo101:Thanks for the tip.
@mwahal: I get a no such file or directory. I've been building in /usr/src/xbmc. The other problem is I have been unable to bring up a terminal. ctrl+alt+f2 kills video (TV states no signal). This happened after FM's build. And I can't launch xbmc from PuTTY.

I've noticed since using these builds that xbmc will freeze upon resuming from pause. I didn't have this issue before. Not sure if it is caused by upgrading to precise or from FM's build. Any help?

git clone FM + git eden checkout + fluxbox window manager -- gives me excellent video on my GT240 on 12.04 standard installation with Nvidia 295 driver.

basco · 2012-06-06, 08:50

is there also a +pvr available?

FernetMenta · 2012-06-06, 10:16

my master and eden branch are based on pvr.

basco · 2012-06-06, 11:53

@FernetMenta
do you also have binaries available (just like dushmaniac)?

If i clone and complie your master i have the new vdpau if and pvr?
Perhaps you would be so kind to mention the steps involved in building this?

thanks!!

**VanillaXtract** · 2012-06-06, 20:34

Well I don't know what changed. But I can now get to the terminal and I have not had any freezes upon resuming.

@basco The steps for compiling are in the readme. after you clone. Follow the readme.ubuntu then continue with readme.linux.
