Linux Can't Start XBMC 12.0 Frodo
#1
I just installed XBMC via terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc


I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and Gnome Shell 3.4.

Every time I launch the application, I see the XBMC main logo for a second and then get sent back to the LOGIN SCREEN (lightdm).

Why can't I get XBMC to run?? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have also included the crash log below:

You don't have a proper GL accelerated video driver installed.
If I have helped you or increased your knowledge, click the 'thumbs up' button to give thanks :) (People with less than 20 posts won't see the "thumbs up" button.)

Is this part of an upstream decision?
I have an 865G myself, which utilizes the i915 driver (for whatever reason), which seems to be based on Mesa libs.
I'm experiencing an identical issue after forcing DefaultDepth to 24 bits (default is 15bpp, for whatever reason).

For those who cannot afford to upgrade, isn't that an awful lot of people left out in the cold?

EDIT: It looks like Intel does have a driver available outside of the standard repos.
I'll see if I can knock out a tut once I've reached some semblance of a successful installation.

EDIT2:

Well that sucks. The Intel Linux driver uses Mesa to provide 3D rendering. Does this mean older Intel owners are out of luck? Sad

EDIT3:
Found a thread here that resolved my issue.
Perhaps forcing the GL version is a prerequisite for Springdales?

As promised, I'll have the guide up within the week. Look for it soon. Smile

EDIT4: Here is the guide. If this helps even one other person, I'll be happy. Smile
