Ok I will get a debug log soon.

Ok, sorry for the delay but I have the log file uploaded. I noticed that one processor was at 100% the whole time. It lagged for a few seconds multiple times using the EPG but no where near as bas as it does sometimes.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Some part of his computer's hardware must be defective. First thing I would try is a reformat. Maybe a fresh install of your OS will fix the problem. Are all of your drivers installed properly on ubuntu?

Sorry, I didn't realize I had a reply. I have thought of trying a fresh install but that would mean moving or wiping 2TB of movies. So my option would be to get a SSD to install the OS on then wipe everything but the media from my 4TB hard disk, or I guess I could have a faulty processor, either way I am spending money and I have no idea which one is going to fix it. The only drivers I am using are the AMD video driver and whatever driver the tuners are using which I was told came preinstalled. I did have to do some work to get the firmware for the tuners but I assume I did that correctly because they work.

Ok, I may have figured something out. I was monitoring xbmc with xbmc system monitor, htop, and ubunutu system monitor. I noticed that it all seemed fine when I was in the windowed view of xbmc but when going to full screen it all went crazy like usual. As soon as I entered full screen the processors took truns bouncing off 100% or close to it, you can see it on the xbmc monitor and on the system monitor graph when I exit. So what does this mean? Do I just need to reinstall xbmc?
Here is a link to the video.

Does it do the same thing when you have "Use a full screen window rather than true full screen" checked in the video output options? Or is that windows OS only?

It is beginning to sound like a video driver issue.

What graphics are you running? Does that AMD system have a built in graphics chipset? If so what is it and what drivers are you running?

To get details on your video chipset:

Code:

lspci

Please also post another debug log as your previous one has disappeared. And the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

The easiest way to get these posted to a pastebin is install pastebinit.

Code:

sudo apt-get install pastebinit

Then use it like this

Code:

pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log

- then post the url it returns.

You can also pipe to pastebinit, eg

Code:

lspci|pastebinit

Ragedogg69, I do not see that option.

Here is the lspci result.

Here is the var/log/Xorg.0.log

I will post the debug log in a sec.

I literally started xbmc, put in full screen and they both went to 100%, I sent the log after that and didnt really do anything on xbmc.

I think the problem is that you are using the fglrx drivers, which are deprecated for XBMC.

You should use this driver:

Ok, I will give that a try but I have a couple noob questions. I have UEFI, so do I need the server version instead of the mini? Then I just follow all steps for 0, 1a, and 2? Thanks for all your help, I'll let you know how it turns out.
