Updated from 13.10, didn't experience any 100%load issues.
Still using the startup script from the 13.10 tutorial.

The only error I can see in the log file is:
ERROR: DBus: Error org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.PermissionDenied - Not Authorized

Any ideas what causes this error?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that fritsch will want the logs from the first post.

Thanks, but same the error message still comes up in the logfile.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-20

sudo cat /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla | pastebinit
id | pastebinit

most likely a wrong line in the config file

Edit: Also use the new script, it resolves tearing.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Endeavour79 - 2014-04-20

Thanks fritsch. I changed the startup method, thanks!
I checked the polkit file.. It seems to be correct..

Can someone help. I can't seem to get XBMC to work. Keep getting XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering. When I try to install I get this error:

You are not on trusty.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-20

@Endeavour79: No idea.

Reinstalled with Trusty x64 but still unable to get xbmc to launch. Keep getting error below. Any idea what could be issue?

where in the howto was that?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - quan3t - 2014-04-20

is that what caused issue? It is just the xbmc bootscreen.
