My build is currently 8.10 SVN:16164, dated to 14th Nov.

Is it correct that there haven't been a repack since that time? As far as I've heard there's been a lot of work done on the daily SVN's.

Running Hardy.

Which repository are you using?

The latest stable release is 2008-11-14
https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-hardy/+archive/ppa

If using the daily repositories, you would have a more current date.
https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc-svn/+archive/ppa

wookietv Wrote:hi- i just started using ubuntu a few weeks ago, with the end goal in making it a media center. so i was recommended to try xbmc, and i got it loaded up fine. the problem i'm having is that it runs very slow. and i'm not talking about videos, music, etc... i'm just talking about the app. the mouse stutters across the application, on the main page, the scrolling news item does not come out smoothly, but also stutters a bit each second.
once i leave the xbmc window, the mouse is smooth in the linux o.s.
is there something i should know, or a setting i need to do to get this working properly?
Hi There :-)

Sounds as though you're having video card driver issues. I have an ATI 4870x2 and was experiencing the same issues as yourself until I enabled the proprietary ATI drivers specific to my card... now it's beautifully smooth Big Grin

Something else worth mentioning is that XBMC playback is infinitely superior to any other video playback application in Ubuntu (Iin my humble opinion anyway)

Hope this is of some help!

To the package maintainer: the Wii Remote event client requries libbluetooth2. However, my fully updated Intrepid only provides libbluetooth3. This breaks the dependancy check. Can you please look into it? (or should I compile it on my own?)

edit: shoulda hunted around, since plenty of others have complained about it. Thanks for the hard work though!

Whats goin on with launchpad? Is it problem with Intrepid SVN packages? Launchpad acting weird in these days.


- wattazoum - 2009-02-28 09:41

@LiquidRain: Are you using SVN PPA or stable ? I have fixed it on SVN PPA. The fix on stable will come soon.

@queeup: what is happening to Launchpad ?


- wattazoum - 2009-02-28 20:12

Fix done on intrepid.


- queeup - 2009-02-28 20:54
