I'm still getting that above crash screen on a fairly regular basis. Still haven't been able to identify a pattern here.

I've started a separate thread, http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=108860, but I'm double posting here in the hopes that maybe someone else who followed this guide encountered this or something similar and can shed some light on it.

I posted the log file at http://pastebin.com/V8aj8cV6

Any help greatly appreciated, as I'm not sure where to look next.

Thanks

Hello,
the problem with the choppy vc-1 playback is a problem in ffmpeg.
In the official repository it has been fixed.
http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commitdiff;h=da21440d46244c424ef4782a18fbcf6823d308fd

I opened a bugreport on trac:

Hi Alan,

Thanks very much for your guide on this! After several weeks of trying an AMD board, I finally gave up and took a Sandy Bridge CPU instead. I have a few questions which have been causing problems for me, which doesn't happen on the live XBMC repo.

When I try to output using AC3 or DTS, it simply doesn't work. I have a Denon amp which definitely supports both output formats, but I don't have a /etc/init/xbmc.conf file.

I've done a file system search for it and cannot find anything, am I being stupid?

Also, to apply updates for XBMC, do I just repeat the git process on a regular basis?

Hi alanwww1,

nice tutorial. Thanx for your work. Can I also use your tutorial for my Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3, Sockel 1156, ITX with a Intel Core i3 540? That would be great.

Hi warpnine,

You should be able to do this quite fine if you're using Ubuntu 11.04 Natty.

I stumbled upon a problem compiling MESA (it now relies upon 2 more dependences that I cannot remember the names of), so I just compiled and installed libva and got VAAPI working with no problems.

My understanding is that the Sandy Bridge and the onboard graphics on the Socket 1156 use a similar, if not the same driver on the up-to-date kernel on 11.04 anyway. So you just need to follow the rest of the instructions and give it a go.

Steve

Hi Steve,

thank you for your quick reply. I will soon try it out :-)

Hello!

Thanks to alanwww1 for his guide!

Followed guide, everything works fine, but ... I'm not very experienced in Linux...
Is there any way to auto mount(and umount) usb removable storage like it works in full Ubuntu with Gnome?

Tried simply add lines to /etc/fstab, but system boot stops if device is not connected ("press S to skip ..."). Option "nofail" does not help.

May be I missed something? Should it work?

Thanks!

PS: Sorry for my English

Hello all,

I have a problem installing mesa. After I did:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --with-driver=dri --disable-glut

this error occured:

checking for llvm-config... no
configure: error: LLVM is required to build Gallium R300 on x86 and x86_64

I tried to install it with:

sudo apt-get install llvm-2.9

I got the following message:

Statusinformationen werden eingelesen... Fertig
llvm-2.9 ist schon die neueste Version.
0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 0 nicht aktualisiert.

So, llvm was already installed. What do I have to do? What went wrong?

Thanx for your help!

Ps.: I used the amd64 Ubuntu 11.04 netboot (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso)

Try llvm-dev, and see what happens!

Thanx Steve,

but after:
sudo apt-get install llvm-dev

I ran:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --with-driver=dri --disable-glut

and got the same error:
checking for llvm-config... no
configure: error: LLVM is required to build Gallium R300 on x86 and x86_64

Does anyone have any further suggestions? :-)
