Kernel v3.13.1 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mai....1-trusty/

Kernel was updated.

I will be really busy the next 6 weeks and therefore won't have much time for my howtos at all. I rather have to concentrate on special things around xbmc. This is currently my PulseAudio Sink, which should be working nicely, when Gotham is getting released.

I will ask wsnipex to build a stable mesa branch: 10.0.2 and to bump the version so that every "mesa ppa" user is being upgraded to the stable version.

Please help each other in this thread. It won't get old, cause all the code is now in kernel and also is in mesa. Bumping kernel versions is quite esay.

Hi,

I am also affected by the bug described here:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73191

Is there a way to use a Mesa version that was working before this bug was introduced?

Thx!

Read again my previous post, that's the idea.

ok thanks so the answer is wait for the stable mesa branch
thanks again for the very helpful howtos etc!

Hi All,
Thanks for the great walkthrough. I managed to upgrade my kernel to 3.13 and Ubuntu version to Saucy, and install the Gallium drivers successfully (although I had to search for the main ppa for those, I was getting 404 errors from the provided repo). Everything seems to be working except HD audio. Things I've done/noted:
-The EDID download
-Setting sync playback to Audio Clock and disabling Adjust Framerate
-Uninstalling PulseAudio
-One interesting thing is that the HDMI audio device is showing up as "@@@" in XBMC settings. It does seem to be the correct device.
-What I see when I start up a DTS-MA file on my receiver is a quick cycle from "DTS-HD HI-RES" to "DTS-HD MASTER" (I think, it's quick), to settling on DTS. It seems like either XBMC is trying to send the DTS-MA stream and then switching to core, or my receiver is rejecting the master stream for some reason.
-One note is that I upgraded from 12.04 rather than installing 13.10 fresh, since this box is also running a raid array that I'd rather not rebuild.

Any ideas? Here are my pastebins, let me know if you need other info:

Thanks!

Try it with just 60hz and see.

hello fritsch!

Congratulations for the hard work!

I have a question, I have everything working fine but when I enabled sound passthrought to the optical output (in my computer), the video flicks a bit. I mean, 3seconds video fluids and then 0.1s flicks.

I have the same settings in the first post.

Do you know what could be the problem¿

No. not without any Debug Log.

Ok so I did something a bit dumb in that I installed items from the xorg-edgers ppa to try and get steam in-home streaming working (which it did) but now HD videos in xbmc just show a black picture but the audio plays fine. I tried removing all the items from xorg-edgers but I still have the same issue. Anyone have any advise on how to fix it (other than stop fiddling and leave it alone when you have bits working!)

That wont fix it - it will just prevent you breaking it again in future

Force purge the xorg-edgers packages, disable the PPA, update and 'apt-get install --reinstall' the relevant bits from wsnipex.

Perfect, thank you. I had tried a ppa-purge before but it didn't do anything, that'll be because I had already unsubscribed from the xorg-edgers ppa. Re-added the ppa, ppa-purged it, then reinstalled the wsnipex packages and it's all working again. Most of this is quite new to me but it sure helps you learn quick, especially with a helpful thread like this!

Hi kEph13 - which PPAs did you find/use? I am still having trouble with the ones provided as they contain this HD video bug (i know, it will be fixed eventually) but if you found something working today, that would be awesome.

i was trying to find out also how to build myself from git but that seems to be not so straightforward ..

thanks

from what i've tested, the PPA's from the How-To should be stable.
it's the test PPA's (ppa:wsnipex/test), that seem to have the bug.

can anyone else verify this?

i just switched back to the How-To (ppa:wsnipex/mesa) PPA's, and things are back to "normal".

running AMD A6-6400 Black Edition

until now I had never used anything else but ppa:wsnipex/mesa and I had the bug reported in this youtube video from the start (which was yesterday). exactly same behavior.

I have now tried the test PPA and only see a black screen (to be specific: no HDMI output at all shortly after booting but XBMC runs).

Maybe I did something wrong with the packages, no time tonight to debug...but I conform that the non-testing ppa had the problem - at least for me.
