Linux Mint16 XBMC crashes on playing video - joerice50 - 2014-05-16 Hi All Sorry for initially posting this note in the general help section I missed the special Linux section. I recently installed XBMC on a old dell dimension 3100c upgraded to 2 Gig memory and running Linux Mint16, outcome: XBMC crashes on video playback. However, when the same hardware was operating under WinXP....XBMC worked fine. Note these XBMC crashes occur whether I install XBMC from the built in Mint software managers and get a old version or via the published terminal install suggestions to get the latest version installed, Please Note XBMC works fine on a HP laptop running Linux mint 16 so its something to do with the Dell's limited hardware or how I have installed or configured XBMC or Mint on this machine. Any ideas or suggestions I append the crash file Cheers and thanks Joe Rice upload crash log references 202696 and 202697 RE: Linux Mint16 XBMC crashes on playing video - fritsch - 2014-05-16 Your GPU drivers are too old. It's crashing in the intel drivers. RE: Linux Mint16 XBMC crashes on playing video - joerice50 - 2014-05-16 Thanks for the quick response fritsch, Should I use the synaptic package manager to update video drivers or is it a more involve process? Cheers Joe RE: Linux Mint16 XBMC crashes on playing video - Prof Yaffle - 2014-05-16 Try the 'buntu installer from here... https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads Mint 16 is Ubuntu 13.10, so you should still be supported (Intel only does 12 months, I think) RE: Linux Mint16 XBMC crashes on playing video - joerice50 - 2014-05-17 Hi All I found that there is a standard Driver Manager update tool in the Admin section of Linux Mint16 but it reports that no drivers need to be updated and that no propriety drivers have been used...So I am at a bit of a loss. Also if I place a DVD into the machine the in-built Totem Movie player within Mint16 plays the HD video without problem....but when I try yo play the DVD via XBMC it crashes. Presumably both programs access the same video driver set. I will try the Ubuntu installer later this weekend to see what results Thanks for the info Joe RE: Linux Mint16 XBMC crashes on playing video - fritsch - 2014-05-17 Yes totem is not a full fledged OpenGL program ... RE: Linux Mint16 XBMC crashes on playing video - joerice50 - 2014-05-22 Hi All Sorry for the delay I downloaded and installed the Ubuntu intel graphic installer and configured it for Mint 16 following the advice here: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/node/124 I used it to automatically update my system to the latest intel driver packages but it still crashes xbmc when trying to play a video. crash files are: 207731, 207744, 207745 Any ideas welcome cheers Joe RE: Linux Mint16 XBMC crashes on playing video - joerice50 - 2014-05-24 Hi All Since I had set this old Dell up as a duel boot machine I installed frodo on the WinXP partition and it works fine so I will use this as there is no way of updating the graphics hardware . Must admit I am impressed with XBMC and the yatze remote control software for android Cheers Joe |
