Issue
XBMC crashes with segmentation fault when launching.
debug log: http://pastebin.com/y0E9zcmv (level set to 2)
Steps to produce
1. Run xbmc
2. See the xbmc logo for about 3-4 seconds
3. XBMC dissapears and I get the following on the console:
the segmentation fault number (1299 in the above example) is different everytime it crashes, though the line number in /usr/bin/xbmc is the same.(137)
Version
Linxu distribution: Linux version 3.7.9-2-ARCH (tobias@testing) (gcc version 4.7.2 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Feb 25 12:29:24 CET 2013
Architecture: i686
hardware: IBM thinkpad x40
Install method
manual (I think so? - I used pacman / yaourt to install xbmc)
Backtrace
I was not able to produce one based on the instructions (did not see a core file in the folder)
Steps tried
- Tried installing frodo, as well as the various ones in the AUR, such as xbmc-git.
- Tried compiling xbmc from scratch
- Line 137 in /usr/bin/xbmc corresponds to the "done" for the while loop.
- Tried running xbmc-standalone
- Tried running as both root and user
- Tried deleting .xbmc folder
This is the first time I am installing xbmc on my archlinux box. Been fighting this for the last 2 weeks and I am close to giving up. Hope someone more knowledgeable out there can provide me with more clues to look at...
Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide!
