Regarding the failing install: point proven
Installation done:
* Karmic server only
* XBMC + 195 newer nvidia + alsa 1.0.23 in one go.
Same ghost process problem.
Looking into the xci-installer.log: twice the line below.
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x-terminal-emulator
And honestly speaking, I believe not nvidia, but this one is the real problem.
Any help or tips about the error above are welcome, cause the x-term thing is unknown stuff for me.
Downstairs I have the same box running, on nvidia 260, with alsa 1.0.23, and it runs stable for few weeks now. So I believe it's fine.
Regarding the 1.0.23 alsa installation:
Download the alsa-info script at Alsa's website.
make it executable by:
run it by:
check the alsa-info.log by
At the "ALSA Version" section you'll find
Driver
Library
Utilities version.
It should all be set to 1.0.23.
XCI's install has all but the driver only set to 1.0.20.
(that is, following the install as stated above)
Alsa's docs state clear: they all should be set to the same, otherwise hungup's crashes etc.
I'll post my findings after investigation of both subjects.
