RE: XBMC crashing on startup caused by github repos - Thehypnotist - 2014-03-25
Hello to all, firstly a big thank you for helping me to gain access to.xbmc I moved all GitHub repos to a saved folder but xbmc still crashes not always but when I have finished watching or searching out things to watch. As far as I am aware I have no adult repos loaded so therefore should it still be crashing?

bad copy and paste. Download the file directly or make sure that space/tabs are not messed up.

Initially i opened a new thread, but have been re-directed here.
Just adding my post in for completeness as this says solved now.
http://www.xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=159533
Not 100% sure when this started, but i cant download anything from the repo
I thought i saw someone else post about this, but now cant find the thread.

Can see the fix script a page or two back, what is the official line on this?
Should we apply the fix, or is something more global coming to fix this?
RE: XBMC crashing on startup caused by github repos - wsnipex - 2014-03-27
the issue is a mixture of githubs certificate handling and a bug in gnutls. We don't have a solution atm, besides forcing everyone to switch to curl-openssl instead of the default curl-gnutls.

Are there any instructions on how to make this change? Would it require a complete re-compilation on the part of the end users? FWIW, has anyone contacted the maintainers of the curl-gnutls package to make them aware of the crash and/or filled a bug report for them? TIA
RE: XBMC crashing on startup caused by github repos - wsnipex - 2014-03-27
the next build in the nightly ppa should hopefully be fixed by linking against libcurl-openssl. ETA ~ 4-5h. Please try it an report back
RE: XBMC crashing on startup caused by github repos - DoubleT - 2014-03-28
Fix, if included in last nights nightly, didnt work for me.

this thread is about linux builds, not win32
RE: XBMC crashing on startup caused by github repos - DoubleT - 2014-03-28
okay no worries, will wait for a windows fix.

I have been experiencing this issue also.
I found a solution that doesn't involve removing the repositories.
There was a hint on this board that this issue was due to a git issue and the curl-gnutls package.
On my Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) system, I downgraded the libcurl3-gnutls package.
The libcurl3-gnutls package was upgraded on 2014-03-20 at 05:42:18 to version 7.32.0-1ubuntu1.3.
This is also when the issues started for me.
I downgraded the version by executing the following command:
apt-get install libcurl3-gnutls=7.32.0-1ubuntu1
Now I am able to access all the repositories as they were before the crash was happening.
I hope this helps others out there.
UPDATE: This works for other versions of Ubuntu (except Trusty -- because the only version of this package available for Trusty contains this bug).
You can list available packages that you can downgrade to by running: apt-cache madison libcurl3-gnutls
RE: XBMC crashing on startup caused by github repos - jmarshall - 2014-03-29
Fix for empty repository (not the crash under linux!) for those platforms that use depends (osx/ios/android/rpi) is available:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/4484
I believe Linux *may* already be fixed once B3 is up (next day or so) - the nightly above has the fix, but it may depend somewhat on the version of openssl in use.
EDIT: Builds are up, e.g:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/osx/x86_64/xbmc-20140329-7741f6e--x86_64.dmg
Look in the other test-builds folders for the same revision. These are B3 + other fixes.
Win32 will require someone to rebuild curl I believe.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Linux should already be fixed in the nightly PPA. Upcoming Beta3 will have it too.
RE: XBMC crashing on startup caused by github repos - jmarshall - 2014-03-29
Is Linux using the appropriate openssl version? i.e. are the repositories actually fetched, or do they remain empty (with just the crash being fixed) ?
