ok. sry for mentioning.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - pyrodex - 2013-11-20

Since I've made a change to the black levels from 0-255 to 16-235 with this OSS setup I've noticed occasionally that during on-screen pop-ups or random times the screen will go into weird state. Best way to describe it would be like a grey haze and then without intervention it returns to normal with different durations. Never had this problem with Windows but I SO love this Linux setup so figured I offer information to see if it is related to something in the OSS setup.

dmesg:

xbmc.log:

Xorg.0.log:

vdpauinfo:

dpkg w/mesa:

Please let me know if there is any guidance you can provide. Thanks in advance!

Silly mistake, I didnt even realise..

Looks like a myth bug. You could try to recompile pvr addons from latest opdenkamps master and see. Use "make zip" then you can just install the myth version.

Fritsch would this be a solution for my problem aswell, as discussed on IRC?

Hello,

I do some upgade, but the sleep function is unavailable. System-settings/power saving/shutdown function is grey and not changed. It show shutdown.
If I press off button on remote controller, htpc go shutdown, and dont sleep.

pvr addons in my fernetmenta-master ppa are fully up to date.

what exactly does "some upgrade" mean?

I think after this OSS install. I've noticed from the guide when you go to the shutdown menu in native confluence all the other normal options are gone. All you have it Exit or Shutdown which merely closes XBMC and then re-opens it thanks to the init file and respawn.

xsnipex: I think, I do clean OSS install (1 weak ago), after I do some update/upgrade.

pyrodex: Yes I think this, I have some problem. In shutdown menu only Exit or Shutdown, and in System-settings/power saving/shutdown function is grey and not changed. Shutdown function work ferfect, but I cant sleep (no option) my copmuter.

make sure you created /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla from the howto properly.
If your username is not xbmc, you have to adjust it. Also make sure there are no linebreaks etc


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - pyrodex - 2013-11-20

@wsnipex I have the file from the guide and the contents are below but I also have experienced the same "qurik" as RedCat, since I don't sleep on my HTPC so I don't care as much but I did observe the same thing.

Code:
[Actions for xbmc user]
Identity=unix-user:xbmc
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.*;org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.*;org.freedesktop.udisks.*
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

[Untrusted Upgrade]
Identity=unix-user:xbmc
Action=org.debian.apt.upgrade-packages;org.debian.apt.update-cache
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes



RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-11-20

consolekit installed?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - pyrodex - 2013-11-20

@fritsch nope, didn't install with the guide apt commands. I'll install it and confirm later today when I get home if that resolved RedCat's experience.
