Also, what are the permissions on /usr/share/xbmc/visualisations/projectM?
Do ls -al /usr/share/xbmc/visualisations

Nope, no plans to install those versions. But others on the DEV team do and don't have problems.
But, if opendir is failing, that is odd.
Not sure why it can't open that folder.
Please paste the exact line in stdout showing that opendir is failing.

You could also try to strace the process and really see if opendir is failing, and if so, for what reason.

and again: no way
this was an homemade build... next try will be with a ppa build
but, again... doesn't this mean that i miss something to make it work, some strange and unexplicited dependency (or that i have some package too much, interfering with xbmc)?

If you have all the dependencies as in the README.linux, you should be fine.
I really can't explain it. Also, I am unsure which version of ubuntu the Live is based on.

Try copying the projectM.vis from the Live CD and see if that works.

Morning
My ProjectM runs fine on SMB files, but sometimes i get a blank screen. It has been annoying but it doesnt happen all the time. It might be a bad .milk file as i have 8000 .milk vis files in that folder. Is there a pack that a person could download of known .milk files that work in projectM? The ones that i have work flawless on XBMC on my xbox and never get a blank screen, only in projectM do i get the random blank screen
Setup:
XBMC 9.04 on Ubuntu 8.04
Intel Core2Duo 2.0Ghz
2GB RAM
200 GB HD
Nvidia 7900GS
XBMC 9.04 on XBOX
Cheers!

Figure out which ones get black and remove them. Remember that xbox is not using projectM. It uses milkdrop. So maybe there are problems with some presets.
When you get a black screen, bring up the info and see which preset it is.
