[LINUX] vdpau/mythtv driver problem (noob)
#1
Hi

I run Ubuntu Desktop 9.1 on a Zotac Ion board. I have everything working but i borrowed this dvb-t tuner i wanna test out, with xbmc frontend to mythtv backend, before i buy one myself.

This is where the problem starts. This is no where near my field of expertise so hope you can help Smile

I got the nvidia-glx-185 + kernel package installed and that is the driver i'm currently using.

My first question would be why I'm not able to update the driver to 190 or 195? I get the following message while trying to do that:
Code:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-190_190.53-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa8_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2


Second question is that it seems to me that mythth requires both nvidia-185-libvdpau and nvidia-glx-185 but when I try to install libvdpau package i get this error:
oh I didn't get an error and it installed 185-libvdpau but that just gives me a new error when start mythtv backend that i think refers to it's missing the glx.

the error is something like:
Code:
error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As you can understand I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, i hope some of you will be able to help me Big Grin

thx

edit: Can't start xbmc with the 185 libvdpau drivers either:
XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering. Intall an appropriate graphics driver.

Your libvdpau MUST match your driver version. You can't mix them.

Ye but even using 185glx and trying to install 185libvdpau (which is the only libvdpau on my list, I get errors like posted above)

Anyways i followed this

and I now have it running. The tuner I borrowed doesn't have linux support so I don't really know if it works yet. Guess I'll take the chance and buy a dvb-t usb tuner.
