Linux XBMC crashes when playing any video on Arch Linux
#1
Hi,

XBMC 12.0 Frodo crashes whenever I try to play any video. I've tried playing mp4 and avi file, as well as playing videos using the Youtube add-on, but it always crashes right before the video loads. I'm using Arch Linux with an Intel GMA 950. Here's my crash log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=33850

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Sad 
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Or can someone at least point me in the right direction?

Hm, I've figured out that it only does this when started using xbmc.service from systemd. User and Group are set to xbmc, and the command used is:
Code:
/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/xbmc-standalone -- :0 -nolisten tcp

After it crashes, xinit logs this into the systemd journal, if it's any use:
Code:
/usr/bin/xbmc: line 137: 16699 Illegal instruction     "$LIBDIR/xbmc/xbmc.bin" $SAVED_ARGS
Crash report available at /var/lib/xbmc/xbmc_crashlog-20130222_110949.log

It seems that videos play fine when started within a running display manager.

intel sandy bridge cpu/gpu? if yes, its a know intel driver issue with rc6 enabled. Workarounds: disable rc6 via kernel parameter or run from a display manager

edit: just noticed you run GMA950. Dunno in that case

Actually, it's a pretty old computer, Intel Pentium D, I think

I finally figured out how to get it to dump core. Here's a new log file with a stack trace in it: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=19661
