Morpio Wrote:I had XBMC running perfectly on my Ubuntu 8.10 pc using standard OS graphic drivers, but no sound. So I re-installed Ubuntu, made some adjustments, and got the sound to work
When I start XBMC now it shows the splash screen and then exits.
I installed the newest ATI Linux drivers(8.12) from AMD/ATI (which works fine). OpenGL should be enabled.
Are there any other pre-requisites for XBMC to run on Ubuntu?
Are there any debug-logs I could check to correct this?
Any suggestions on what could be wrong?
The usual problems is that you have wrong bitrate on the screen, it cant be 16bpp because then XBMC crashes (yes we should have a popup telling you this )
/var/tmp/xbmc-user.log IIRC is a good starting point
also loog through glxinfo for direct rendering
