Hey everyone!

I was running xbmc 11 with debian for a long time and today I tried to update to frodo (again).
I downloaded it from http://www.deb-multimedia.org for debian unstable(sid). xbmc 12.2
I moved away the ~/.xbmc dir, so frodo creates a new one, also I deinstalled the old xbmc and checked that there is nothing left in /usr/share/xbmc and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xbmc

It crashes with a core dump.

xbmc crashlog:
http://paste.debian.net/8900/

I also have a strace, but it seems to big (2mb) for pastebin.

Im looking at it... , maybe I also try to compile frodo for myself and see if it makes a difference.

I just want to ask if someone has the same problem, or saw something like this before.


ty very much
mike

some more info:

another debian sid box runs the binary without any problems.
crash also accurs on this "trouble machine" with debian wheezy and also with xbmc 12.0,
so it seems independed of debian version and xbmc version (>=12, 11 runs since month...).

I recompiled the deb-src from deb-multimedia.org with configure --enable-debug and replaced the resulting xbmc.bin:

crashlog:
http://paste.debian.net/8939/

logfile has some debug info:
http://paste.debian.net/8940/

first: there seems to be a problem with your alsa setup. xbmc is unable to initialise an audio device.
second: ResetRenderSystem() GL_MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS_ARB returned error 1280
-> known issue with very old GFX cards

thank you very much!

the audio interface wasnt an issue, but the GL_MAX_TEXTURE... error was.
after setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 env var frodo came up!

its horrible slow and 2 cpus are at 100%, but it works, thank you very much.
so i need to upgrade this old Radeon 9200 card or stay at eden.


but it would be much better to report/log/something about this critical GL error than just segfault, (maybe check if this GL_MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS_ARB is at least 2 or 4?!)
eden runs very nice with error...
