Maverick + svn ppa works OK, but... questions - AbeOwitz - 2010-12-04 By reading this forum and other sources, I've got xbmc working on a Zotac Zbox HD-ID11 by installing Ubuntu Maverick and pointing apt to the xbmc SVN repository. However I've got a few issues I need help with... 1) Boot dies with Xorg. It tries to start X and fails. I noticed that GDM was uninstalled, but I don't understand the new Upstart system. (I'm old-school init.d :/ ) When I tell Xorg to exit to prompt and 'restart xbmc-live' it works great. So, that means xorg.conf and related are fine. It's just a weird startup issue. (Also, how do I get the xbmc boot splash?) 2) When running xbmc, all is fine, but Xorg seems to be using a lot of CPU, even when idle at weather. The Zotac Zbox overheated and shutdown at one point. I've checked the video settings & such, but can't figure out what is eating so much CPU. Any suggestions, or just a temporary artifact from being SVN/beta? (I do have the proprietary nvidia driver installed and working.) -=-=- Thanks, Abe - AbeOwitz - 2010-12-04 Seems deleting /etc/init/gdm.conf allowed a successful boot. - jayboi - 2010-12-05 AbeOwitz Wrote:Seems deleting /etc/init/gdm.conf allowed a successful boot. Thanks for this post - I just had to rebuild my system due to hw failure and used Maverick. Had the exact same issue - removing gdm.conf did the trick. Cheers - druhboruch - 2010-12-06 Thanks, It worked for me too. The only problem is that audo over HDMI doesn't work. It works great if I reinstall GDM. |
