Nothing to do with happy... just ease of use.
At least I slightly understand what I'm doing there. On linux I'm just blindly following some step-by-step guides and usually break stuff... like now... Oh well...
Can't even install the AMD driver any more now...

Sorry, didn't want to start an argument here... But from what I understand your howto is assuming I'm setting up a new system, isn't it?
My system has been going since "Frodo" where I started with XBMCbuntu and then upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 back in April or so.
So without wiping the system how do I walk through your HowTo? Also my main drive is encrypted if that makes a difference...
btw... AMD driver is installed again now so at least I can use the box for now...

if you don't want to follow the howto(yes it assumes a fresh install), you learn how to fix your current install. But this is off topic of this thread.

Btw we found another user with this FL,FR problem. For him it is a problem when the AVR is switched off when booting linux.
Coud all the affected users please verify this?
Also make sure your AMP settings are not send to HDMI ARC and output should be AMP not TV.

Hi there,
not new on XBMC.
Just brought mine to the new level.
According to this tutorial.
And what should I say: It works like a charme!
Thanks a lot for your efforts and your engagement to support the community!
One thing that I recognized that the creation of the custom-actions.pkla needs superuser (sudo su) privileges.
Even just to access the folders /localauthority/50-local.d/ it is needed to enter them as root.
Best regards,
audioman

Hi.
Same boat as audioman99.
I have joined purely to thank you for this guide. It worked like a charm on my ASUS AMD E350 platform!
I have taken my xbmc setup from windows to linux and had HUGE problems with the other minimal install script thread. It just wasn't compatible with AMD hardware and I don't have the knowledge to get it working. Did my 5th fresh minimal install and finally followed this guide without a single hitch.
In line with audioman99's comments about the pkla stuff, you do need to be root or just trust your sudo typing to get the directory correct as auto complete doesn't work.
Still, worked without a hitch and for that I thank you!

Thanks for that positive feedback.
Also make sure to follow the second post, here I document relevant kernel changes that are need in certain cases.

Fglrx never had vdpau support... You are 100% wrong. Start reading in page 1.

Try to read the first post again and try to find out which logfiles would be required to tell anything concerning that problem.
