I finished the clean install, no issues.

But I cannot get the XBMC media center to come up. I tried both selecting it in the 'Start' menu under Sound and Video and tried to log out and login into XBMC vs. XBMCbuntu

I repeatedly get this error log, apologize for the length: I cut out the end as it was too long

we need a bit more info about your hardware. which board etc...

it's a bit better to post logs in "code"-tags. so they're scrollable an your posting won't become that long. or you use sites like

pastebin.com

or

xbmclogs.com

cheers

[nickr]

What output do you get when you run xbmc at the commandline?

What specs are your machine?

[SpartanGA]

I have never used xbmclogs.com...but here is the URL to what I pasted: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=25697

My machine is a Dell Dimension 8400: system specs sayROCESSOR..., 80547, PENTIUM 4 PRESCOTT DT..., Pentium 4 Prescott DT, 3.4GHZ, 1 MEGB, 800FSB..., SKT-T, E0
Video is an ATI Radeon HD2xxx I dont recall the exact model. I verified it was ATI to chose the correct XBMCbuntu version...but dont remember beyond HD2xxx
Unsure how to verify the ram...I suspect 2gb

I try to run xbmc at login screen and in the 'start' menu...It switches to the media center logo, then back to ubuntu..does that once or twice before giving up.

I have not tried to run from command line and am not sure how. I am a novice at Linux/Ubuntu...used Windows all my life.

thx

All I can think about is you need the legacy driver and remove your current driver, though I am not a AMD user or am at all familiar with AMD. Your Card HD2xxx is not supported by the current driver, that I know for sure.

This is googled...

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*

Install legacy driver

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fglrx-legacy

Yes I suggested that (albeit without the purge first) in this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=150336 and the poster said it didn't work. I don't have the right gear to test it on. Perhaps the purge first will deal with it.

[un1versal]

You have to purge the newer fgrlx because they cannot coexist, hence why it may not have worked. I dont have the gear to test with but I remember reading it somewhere.

Also for ATI cards atm you need the XBMC xvba ppa IIRC top link my sig idk what the AMD XBMCbuntu is using anyway as I dont use AMD/ATI gfx.

I tried this and get the same problem. But now my monitor resolution is incorrect..640x480 and no option for higher resolution.

here is my latest log

[wsnipex]

you didn't install the driver correctly, its still using software rendering:
GL_RENDERER = Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x301)

I typed in everything above verbatim. Not sure what could be done wrong. I could repeat it all I suppose.
