Hi there,

I'm trying to install xbmc just as described in the wiki:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW..._or_higher

But I get Error Messages which is also described in the wiki, but I do have multiverse and multiverse repositores enabled.

Can anybody help? Logs and sources below.

Best regards, Eddi

I'd honestly suggest you move to a Maverick 10.10 install. I just did a minimal install and it was much easier than previous Lucid install since it came with alsa 1.0.23 aswell. Used the stable papa's.

On your second system are you using HDMI for sound and if so have you managed to get passthru working for AC3 and DTS? I'm having a hell of a time even using a PPA on 10.10 with the same version of ALSA <sigh>

@BLKMGK:

On the Ubuntu 10.10 system [XBMC1] I haven't done a ton of testing yet, but HDMI sound + video worked for all the Dolby TrueHD [xcoded to LPCM] and DTS-HD [DTS passed through].

All I have ever done for both systems is:

a) disabled onboard sound
b) install latest NVidia drivers; 260.xxx
c) install ALSA 1.0.23 - came with on Ubuntu 10.10
d) added /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default hdmi:NVidia
pcm:iec958 hdmi:NVidia
e) added probe_mask option to /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf
-- was different for the GT 240 versus GT 430; test the raw output plughw BEFORE doing the probe mask
f) set Audio options for passthrough and using HDMI as output device in Confluence GUI.

I don't have machines in front of me now, but these are main steps I used.

Is the LIRC nightmare fixed yet on 10.10? Until then I suggest 10.04.

My remote worked first try on Ubuntu minimal 10.10; I wasn't even aware of an LIRC issue to be honest. Remote worked just fine once I copied the keymap to the proper location.

irw showed keypresses, and the small amount of testing I did within XBMC showed nothing out of whack.

I haven't done much with this rig beyond getting all the main bits working and running some tests. No big surprises or roadblocks thus far.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

ADDITION: I'll add that the main / only reason I am using Ubuntu 10.10 vs 10.04 on this new rig is because I need kernel 2.6.35+ for SSD TRIM support. If it wasn't for that I agree there's no reason to use 10.10 over 10.04.

Appreciate the insight - still pulling my hair out here. Primarily interested in your ION setup. 9.10 works fine but 10.x Ubuntu goes straight to hell for me. I think it may be ALSA although the errors I get look ALOT like an old XBMC bug that occurred when custom outputs weren't parsed correctly. Here's some info on where I'm at -> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=93217

I had seen that Ubuntu thread and tried those steps to no avail. Not thrown in the towel yet but it sure was easier in 8.x and 9.x Ubuntu!

@BLKMGK:

Another important note from my end is that both my setups are Ubuntu minimal meaning NO PULSEAUDIO ever installed.

I'd also suggest turning off the onboard sound if you are going to stick to HDMI; just confuses things further.

[BLKMGK]

I will try purging Pulse, if that's not a solution I'll try minimal. I've installed and reinstalled a dozen times. Pulse isn't dorking my 9.10 system so I dunno'. Oh and I have just the one sound device - if I remove it no HDMI audio - I tried On 9.10 I only have the one sound device showing too - it's weird! Just the Pulse device and it WORKS well! I use a custom output and an asoundrc - same deal on 10.10 is fail. So at least I see it CAN work from your example and minimal would probably dump damned Openoffice too which would be nice to not have to do.

[thethirdnut]

Yes; I installed minimal 10.10 and only added the /etc/asound.conf + the probe_mask.

The XBMC2 unit in my sig isn't ION; just happened to be an Atom330 mobo I started with for 1st server iteration.
