RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-09-02

Code:
sudo apt-get remove pulseaudioOR
2. You can kill pulseaudio before run XBMC. In standard instalation, pulseaudio server starts automatically after kill, so you have to disable it:
Edit pulse configuration file:
Code:
/etc/pulse/client.confCode:
autospawn = noCode:
pulseaudio --startCode:
pulseaudio --killCode:
pulseaudio --startRE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - thctlo - 2014-09-02

Hai, wel, i do, the 9 august and before all worked ok with the keyboard.
I have this problem with the xbmc app over wifi.
as of the 15 august update it stopped working.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Stewinashoe - 2014-09-05
Hey everyone. I seem to have run into an issue. I followed this guide exactly and got to the point where XBMC should be installed, however, after rebooting the computer it only boots to a login prompt. I checked the log in /var/log/upstart/xbmc.log, and it says, "no passwd entry for user xbmc". I checked the passwd file and it does have an entry for xbmc. I also changed the user in the upstart script to a different user, and still have the same issue. Does anyone have some insight on this?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-09-05
Did you create the file from Windows with putty? Make sure to use an utf-8 session. Windows clipboard seems to add chunk at line ends. Seems to be a win 8.1 feature.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - lemur - 2014-09-08
I have a pretty strange config. A VM with Ubuntu 14.04 running on top of a esxi host with a radeon 7750 readeon passed through. The problem is that when using OSS drivers - after entering the login and password information nothing happens and the system hangs with just a wallpaper. So i am not sure if HDMI or anything works out. Is there anyway to enable hardware acceleration on the latest proprietary drivers inside Ubuntu? Or i am out of luck?

Hello
I get crazy now after updating from saucy to trusty 14.04.01, cant get the HW decoding to work again. Installed the latest ATI drivers (fglrx-14.10.1006.1001) but the only thing I get from vdpauinfo is:
Code:
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi andreas!
Reread the first post. Carefully. And then read it again. Even more carefull.
This thread is ***NOT*** about amds fglrx driver.
It is about the open source driver.
No one will/may/can help you here with questions about fglrx.
Support for fglrx has been dropped (see the first post on this thread)
Best regards
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - magny - 2014-09-08
Thanks JanOsh
I have tried to figure this out for hours... Now it works perfectly after a couple of minutes, and back to good performance again!
Best regards Andreas

Concerning old radeons have a look here: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?105333-AMD-Releases-UVD-Video-Decode-Support-For-R600-GPUs&p=439019#post439019
Alex explains which chips will work. Disadvantage: you need very latest 10.4 mesa via oibaf.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deltazulu - 2014-09-09
I upgraded to 13.2 after getting a notice that I was running an old xbmc. I did sudo apt-get install xbmc and it did its thing.
Now my machine boots to a login screen instead of to xbmc and I cannot login to either xbmc or xbmcbuntu sessions from this login window. I can login from virtual console or ssh. I can also login fine using xpra/window-switch and launch xbmc remotely to my other machine just fine and can confirm it is updated to gotham 13.2. I just can't get xbmc to run on my actual local machine to the attached display

Hello,
Everything worked perfectly... until I upgrade to Trusty. Now, when xbmc start, i've just a black screen
I try to reinstall xorg but nothing change.
All seems to work fine...
dmesg

DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr
dpkg -l |grep mesa
Thanks.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-09-10
read the output of your mesa packages, very carefully.
Quote from the howto:
Quote:2014/04/26: Note for upgraders from saucy. Make sure to run: sudo ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/mesa and ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-fernetmenta-master prior to running sudo do-release-upgrade - If you have missed those steps, you need to readd the saucy line of the mesa ppa, run sudo apt-get update and purge afterwards.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - talvins - 2014-09-11
Pfff... so stupid, I don't see that. After a cleanup, it's ok now. Thank you !
