Morning

Ran updates and upgrades last night and then rebooted, Usually boots in to XBMC but on this occasion it just went to the Ubuntu desktop. Tried running XBMC, it starts to load and shows the splash screen then the mouse cursor appears in the top left of the screen and it kicks me back to the desktop.

I'm running latest nightlys on Ubuntu 11, log is attached.......... Any ideas

In your log file you have 3 error messages. The GFX one seems to be standard, at least I see that frequently/always in my logs.The libcrystalhd error smells. Check if you have another version installed. /usr/lib is a good place to search, if you do not find a libcrystalhd.so.* there, do in a terminal

find / -name libcrystalhd\*

and paste back what you find. If you find nothing, try "sudo apt-get install libhdcrystal" or some variation of that.

The final error leaves me clueless:
"ERROR: Control 1 in window 10099 has been asked to focus, but it can't" which may be a hint for a window that cannot get to the foreground. Unless someone has a good idea, I'd investigate the library error.


Ciao

libcrystalhd*

Same thing happened to me. Check your .xsession-error in your homedir? Try once to move the guisettings.xml and see if xbmc starts, it might be the same sound-related error that I have.
Moving guisettings.xml to .old at least make xbmc start again.

Here's my .xsession-errors contents

Where is the guisettings.xml file i should move?

No worries.......... Found it in .xbmc/userdata

[hojan]

Hmm, you have another error
"Unable to find a synaptics device.
*** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin terminated"

cd to your .xbmc/userdata
and try a
mv guisettings.xml guisettings.old

[TheFincher]

OK, Back in the game with regards to running XBMC but its lost a lot of my settings. I'm assuming they were in that .xml??

Also i've noticed that my Confluence Mod isnt installed

I'll grab my log now

Thanks for the help so far guys

[TheFincher]

Here's the latest log

http://pastebin.com/TbAhpL1P

Do i just re enter all my settings and configure Confluence Mod how i like again? There is a new guisettings.xml been created so i'm assuming that the issue was with the old file?? Any way of finsing out what it was or at least extracting all my old skin settings etc. out??

The synaptic error could be minor, that is normally just a touch pad driver. But it looks to me like your package database got corrupted. when I do on my live version

dpkg -l|grep '^ii'|cut -d' ' -f3-|grep crystal

I get

crystalhd-dkms 1:0.0~git20110715.fdd2f19-6 Crystal HD Video Decoder (Linux kernel driver)
libcrystalhd-dev 1:0.0~git20110715.fdd2f19-6 Crystal HD Video Decoder (development files)
libcrystalhd3 1:0.0~git20110715.fdd2f19-6 Crystal HD Video Decoder (shared library)

Your git-dates may vary, but you should get something similar. The weird thing is, that your apt-get selected two packages, but did not install anything.
What does

find /usr/lib -iname libcrys\*

give you? I get

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrystalhd.so.3
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrystalhd.so.3.6
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrystalhd.so

[TheFincher]

I get

xbmc@xbmc:~$ dpkg -l|grep '^ii'|cut -d' ' -f3-|grep crystal

libcrystalhd-dev 1:0.0~git20101029.6df10a0-1~ppa1~lucid Crystal HD Video Decoder (development files)
libcrystalhd3 1:0.0~git20101029.6df10a0-1~ppa1~lucid Crystal HD Video Decoder (shared library)

And for the second one i get


xbmc@xbmc:~$ find /usr/lib -iname libcrys\*
/usr/lib/libcrystalhd.so.3
/usr/lib/libcrystalhd.so
/usr/lib/libcrystalhd.so.3.5
