RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - tutu - 2012-12-24
My issue with video stopping after a few seconds still exists in RC2.
It wasn't an issue for me in beta 3. But then again that was another install so something else might have changed e.g. fglrx for all I know!
I've done a clean install as my OCZ Vertex 3 SSD died

@tutu:
dpkg -l |grep fglrx
Make sure you have 512MB UMA size set in the BIOS for your card. And try with local files to rule out network problems.
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - cirkator - 2012-12-25
So, with a lot of help from Fritsch (thanks again!) we managed to solve the problem.
I tried taping pin 19 of the HDMI-Cable, but it didn´t work. Triple checked so it has to be another problem.
What solved to problem was a script, checking dmesg every 5 seconds. When it detects a problem (turning TV off) it restarts the connection, thus my Receiver gets a new signal and continues to play.
Until this Problem is fixed in the FGLRX driver use this scipt.
My Setup
Yamaha RX-V 473 Receiver
Sony KDL46 Ex-725 TV
Hope it helps you too.

I just thought I'd add my thanks for this guide.
After using the previous ubuntu minimal guides on the wiki years ago, a while back I needed to rebuild a few nvidia based HTPCs and couldn't find any reasonable nice and simple guides.
This guide has worked first time every time the past 3 times I've used it. Just swapping in the nvidia ppa (ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates) and installing nvidia-current and nvidia-settings and everything was great. No messing.
Thanks again.

I can't adjust the UMA size in BIOS unfortunately as it's not an option. I don't believe it is a network issue, I am dual booting with Windows and it works OK.

Hi there,
i followed the guide in the first post and ran into some huge problems: when typing in
Code:
sudo aticonfig --initial -fI keep getting the message
Code:
sudo: aticonfig: command not foundsame thing when typing amdconfig. Anyone know how to solve this? At the moment my installation of xbmcbuntu won't even start. It's freezing on the XBMC-logo.

@Flusher:
Make sure you did install "fglrx" as the howto suggests by doing
Code:
sudo apt-get install fglrxRE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - divingmule - 2012-12-26
Hi, from the how-to

Is this still "best driver for precise"
TIA
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - fritsch - 2012-12-26
@divingmule:
No - For precise I would use Catalyst 12.10 from the amd homepage. This driver _is_not_ for Ubuntu Quantal, so only use it with Precise, which has xorg 1.11.

Well of course I did this - as I said I followed the guide in the first post.
I somehow managed to get in to the Desktop environment underneath XBMC. When trying to start xbmc i get an error message that OpenGL is required for XBMC. So it seems like the drivers are still not installed properly.
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - fritsch - 2012-12-26
@Flusher:
If you have a desktop environment under your xbmc - you did not follow the howto (as it installs without desktop). And missing OpenGL means your fglrx installation did not work succesfully.
Post the output of those two:
Code:
glxinfo

Ok I somehow managed to install the ati drivers and followed the rest of the guide. XBMC is now working "properly". The bad thing: movies/videos can't be played. when selecting a movie, the screen goes black and shows only the OSD. After a few seconds the whole system freezes. how can i uninstall the hardware acceleration?

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
sudo reboot

How can edid.bin be extracted from ati card and your drivers?

Thanks! There seems to be great improvements with suspend/resume, for me, with 12.10 vs 12.06.
You guys kick ass! Can't put into words how happy I am with my wimpy little e-350.
