I have a very odd issue. I tried running xbmc and it gave me an error about not having opengl loaded.
I am running XBMC on Peppermint OS, I tried finding the answer on ubuntuforums, and peppermintos but haven't found an answer yet.
I have the updated 256 nvidia drivers. when I ran "glxinfo | grep -i direct" I got:
Quote:
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
and when i typed "sudo glxinfo | grep -i direct" I got:
Quote:
direct rendering: Yes
GL_EXT_Cg_shader, GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access,
so tried gksudo xbmc, and it runs. ...
is there a way to not have to sudo xbmc everytime?
I just tried running xbmc in the terminal without sudo and it gave an error:
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
I checked and I am part of the video group. I set it so that others can read/write it. Then I got this error:
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 (Permission denied).
