that was from the post that got closed and tagged as a duplicate of this one.

Ah, didn't realize it was the same patch referenced in the original bug. The bug report the patch itself references was completely different so thought it came from somewhere new.

I never did apply that patch manually, because by the time I got involved with all this; people on the bug report (including you) said the problem persisted, so I didn't think it did anything.

If it does help a little, and it's not already in kernel 13rc3/4 .. then I will apply it tonight and see if it looks any better for me.

Thanks.

Edit: Alex just responded to you, asking if another change helps even more.

yeah... rc4 is not playing very nice.

even read some things that linus is not very happy about the progression -- or regression for that matter:

Alex just put up another patch for the Artifacts based on your comments.

With the latest two builds i got glitches in the sound, doesn't matter if i use passthrough or doesn't.
I still use the kernel in the first post though (3.12.0+ #3 SMP Sun Nov 17).
No problems when playing Mp3's

Artifact people:

I played with Alex's latest patch which was based on locomot1f mentioning that a previous patch helped.

With the above patch my XBMC is now tear and artifact free. I can read everything, all menu's appear to work, settings is now perfect.

Please try it out. No guarantees... but I'm, at least temporarily, a happy camper.

Of course.. now I appear to have lost DTS-HD passthrough for some reason >.<.

Edit: I lied.. I'm good. No idea what happened there but a reboot and switching the audio output device to a different HDMI and then back worked *lol*.. *shrug*.

So I'm trying to do this on a SFF machine with only USB ports. Tried with Saucy mini ISO and Lubuntu Desktop ISO but I cannot get beyond the language selection screen.

Early on in this thread there was a similar comment but @Fritz replied that switching to a VT (Ctrl-Alt-F1/F2..), killing the installer process and starting it again makes things work.
Alas not for me.. keyboard does not respond at all - so I cannot switch to a vt...

Obviously other folks are running this setup without issues.. so what am I doing wrong Sad

Please read the thread there is answer to you. Start with different mini ISO and do a dist-upgrade.

congrats.
saw the extra tests Alex wants someone to try, that's 7 kernel compiles.
could take a while.

I wish I was home.. once the kernel is compiled once, as long as you use the same tree and just patch the necessary files it only takes a few minutes per kernel build then a reboot. Those 7 tests could probably be done within 30 minutes or so.

Just building v7, will upload it later.

Any idea, did I forget something? This is my second try both fresh installs

**fritsch** · 2013-12-18, 22:09

What do you expect, if you skip the scripts that start the Xserver?

Redfoox · 2013-12-18, 22:14

Lol now I no what I did wrong previously.

I updated the script A but also changed my path xbmc to a different one. I do not why I did that :-).

Everything works again. Thanks for pointing "sort of" this out!
