Seems to be working again after going through a few of the steps in the OP, but it didn't seem to actually install any extra new packages or anything.
What resolved it the first time was doing a dist-upgrade.
Hmmm...
Well it's working

Concerning GPU hangs, watch that bugreport: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80229

Don't spam it, please. Don't. But if you also have such kernel crashlogs, just upload them all.

For the Baytrail users which highly suffer from GPU performance, you can try to install mesa 10.3. This is a rather easy task. It is enough by following these steps:

1.) Create /etc/apt/preferences.d/utopic with this content:

Code:

Package: *
Pin: release a=utopic
Pin-Priority: -1

2.) Create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/utopic.list with:

Code:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic-security main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic main restricted universe multiverse

Now run:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

And now install the relevant packages from utopic, by doing (remember that -t utopic):

Code:

sudo apt-get install -t utopic mesa-utils libegl1-mesa:amd64 libegl1-mesa-drivers:amd64 libgbm1:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64  libglapi-mesa:amd64 libgles2-mesa:amd64 libosmesa6:amd64 libxatracker2:amd64 libwayland-egl1-mesa:amd64 libopenvg1-mesa:amd64

Would be nice if some baytrailer could report back with the output of:
dpkg -l |grep 10.1.3
dpkg -l |grep 10.3.0
dpkg -l |grep mesa

Edit: Thanks at newphreak for finding the missing package.

Is anyone else having problems with XBMC occasionally restarting during mp3 playback? I'm asking it here because I was using integrated Intel graphics with drivers from the first post's vaapi ppa. I just switched to Nvidia graphics card and looks like the problem has disappeared. Audio out is via HDMI, no music visualisations, same happens in the home screen with music playing in the background. No problems with movies, just mp3. Very weird. I can post debug logs etc if this is the correct place to talk about this.

[fritsch]

Post them. All segfaults are welcome. When xbmc restarts - you should have a crashlog in your home directory.

[TimoJ]

Here is a crashlog:
http://pastebin.com/W1TqXfvN

I'll try to make more logs if that is not enough.

[fritsch]

I have seen that before and fixed the symptome:

Code:

0x0000000000cd6c79 in CGUIInfoManager::UpdateAVInfo() ()

but the real source of issue is some python addon doing shit on the stack.

@FernetMenta: Check that Debug Log, it's again with UpdateAVInfo()

[fritsch]

Retry in some days. This one: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5381 was merged tonight. You can retry with a xbmc mainline nightly from tomorrow. This is code from the last merge window - so there might appear other issues now.

[newtsy]

Thanks to everyone involved with this for your perseverance, I've been following then progress here for quite a while. MCDI is working wonderfully on my Haswell boxs now.

Has this made it into Helix?

[fritsch]

Yeah. The Vaapi code was completely merged.

[TimoJ]

Here are two more crash logs.

XBMC had also restarted with the Nvidia card, not sure when that happened:
http://pastebin.com/DzibwxjF

Does the log show cause for the crash? I didn't find UpdateAVInfo there.

I switched back to Intel graphics that worked fine for a long time but restarted shortly after I had opened an addon called Advanced Launcher. I just opened it and looked at the list of shell scripts that I launch with it. Then again, now the system is working fine even after opening Advanced Launcher few times, so who knows what the cause was. Here is a log of that crash:
http://pastebin.com/SVfqvDaT
There is UpdateAVInfo.

[fritsch]

Again some python stuff. Something for Jim.

[jfcarroll]

Hi fritsch,

How do I reproduce this? I have a Lenovo laptop with the Optimus chipset running Linux so I can switch between Nvidia and Intel graphics also.

The crash logs don't seem to give me an indication this is in python but maybe I can figure it out if I can reporduce it.

Jim

@TimoJ: Would be nice, if you could tell Jim on howto reproduce (which addons you are using, etc.) and what you have to do to trigger that issue.

@Jim: Thanks much for looking into it.
