Crashing on start
#1
Hi, I have a problem running XBMC, it is crashing on start. I have tried the binary package for ubuntu as well as compiling the source from SVN.

xbmc
/usr/local/share/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr: cannot find mode 0x92
*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin: realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x00000000013f514c ***

I have pasted a complete backtrace here: http://pastebin.com/m4312f2dd

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on an AMD Athlon X2 4800+ with an Ati Radeon X1950pro (using binary fglrx 8.9 driver).

Can anyone help me with this problem?

You sure you have the drivers setup and working correctly? "glxinfo | grep -i direct" should return yes.

This was some OS level bug.

Did you make any changes to nsswitch.conf?

If so look at this thread:

Looks identical.

Yes, I did make changes to nsswitch.conf. I made them undone (removed wins) and now xbmc starts. Thanks for that solution, hopefully it will be fixed with the new Ubuntu 8.10

Now when I try to add a smb share to the video sources, xbmc crashes with another error:

The XBMC_HOME environment variable is not set.
/home/marcel/xbmc/XBMC/xbmc-xrandr: cannot find mode 0x92
*** stack smashing detected ***: ./xbmc.bin terminated

Should I post a new topic about this?

Yes, it is a different problem. But it again looks like some ubuntu issue. Crash is coming from Samba libs.

But, if you have reproducible steps, then please open a trac ticket.

Did you make any weird changes to smb.conf?

Either way, a new topic please Smile
