Are you sure you are running trusty? With consolekit installed the howto should work.

Yeah, started with Ubuntu 14.04 minimal. I'm using my own username and booting openbox-session if that makes any difference?
I added xbmc to openbox startup file and it's pretty instant.

Working a treat now I must say.
Boot takes 32 seconds from button press to xbmc, plenty fast enough on a machine that's over ten years old.

Just checked and definitely have consolekit installed.

The mechanism openbox uses might differ from the one the howto is telling you to use.

As shutdown is working fine on all systems I use with just that upstart script and the relevant consolekit permissions ...

I have to look into that anyways when 14.10 gets final with the integrated systemd.

I can't rule out something I've done leading to me needing to do this, had a few fun and games with slim, nodm and nvidia prior to trying to use your script again.

I'm probably going to setup a similar machine with similar stuff for bedroom so will see if that works as expected.

I don't provide a script - do I?

Sorry, that's me being daft.

I believe it is no longer necessary. Am I wrong?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-09-18

Was fixed in trusty, yes - but new installers need to upgrade the system (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade)

?uestion,

wondering that with the upcoming release of code name "Kodi"
will this get an update?
Fancy Splash?
Code:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install plymouth-label v86d
wget http://excyle.nl/plymouth-theme-xbmc-logo.deb
sudo dpkg -i plymouth-theme-xbmc-logo.deb



RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-09-18

No - as I don't care at all :-)

If someone wants to do that - welcome - I will link the deb here.

I just recently installed my system with this how to and enabled this fix. I am on the latest kernel 3.16.2

Do I need to remove the fix? If yes, how.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-09-19

No - you don't as the original packages ubuntu provides have a higher version. All fine.


Re: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - cirkator - 2014-09-19

Thanks :-)

we'll likely update the splash for xbmcbuntu, so you can at least easily build it yourself from our sources.


AW: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Jan0sh - 2014-09-20

With kernel 3.16.1-031601-generic
im running in lots of
Code:
alloc_contig_range test_pages_isolated(23b112, 23b114) failed
lines in kernel log.
Also xbmc takes long on switching series on confluence.

I found this on the mailinglist:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-August/065842.html

Is this knownfor xbmc?
My hardware is an e350 amd board.
Thx in advance
