XBMC won't load.

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

I downloaded xbmc and it shows up in my menu, but, when I click on it nothing happens, and if I type xbmc in the terminal nothing happens at all, what so ever, in any which way, shape, or form.

I am running the latest and greatest Tinycore with Xorg.

Everything else works like a lucky charm, just not xbmc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, George.

I am running the latest and greatest Tinycore with Xorg.

Please specify exact TC version instead of saying latest

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

Gotcha. For future references.

I am running version 4.6 and I just realized that I am wrong, because, 4.6.1 is the latest and greatest at the current moment.

I am running Tinycore version 4.6

Thanks, George.

check for missing dependencies by running xbmc in a terminal

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

I tried that, and when I did, nothing happened at all, BUT, when I exit to prompt and type xbmc, it says....... . .

"XBMC needs hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering.
Install an appropriate graphics driver."

So I downloaded xf86-video-all.tcz to ensure that I have the correct driver, but what OpenGL extension do I need?

I don't think output of trying to run XBMC outside of X would be of much relevance...

You could try:
ldd `which appname` |grep not

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

Okay, I just tried that, and it says no such file or directory.

[Arslan S.]

you need hardware accelerated graphics drivers and direct rendering enabled

check for

Code: [Select]

lspci | grep VGA
and

Code: [Select]

glxinfo | grep rendering

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

lspci | grep VGA

I get........ "00:02.0 VGA compatable controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)"

glxinfo | grep rendering

I get........... "direct rendering: Yes"

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
Do you have xbmc installed  ondemand  by any chance?

[Arslan S.]

load bash and try again please

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

@Rich, I have XBMC in onboot, and I double checked just for my own sanity.

@Arslan I just downloaded Bash.tcz and have that in onboot aswell. I'm not sure what it does, but I am guessing that it is automatically loaded after I downloaded under onboot? IDK.

It is as if XBMC does not even exist on my machine, but, it does.

Hi cURIOUSgEORGE
If you run:

Code: [Select]

hash -r
xbmcDoes it start then?

[cURIOUSgEORGE]

No. I'm sorry to say, but no. Still nothing.

It is what it is, I guess. No biggie. Just sucks, eh...

I appreciate all the help though, and for trying, but, I don't see this going anywhere.

I wonder if anybody else has it working.

Thanks again, George...... and I'm out.

xbmc is working on my system

here is what we can do to debug with xbmc messages

change log level to 3

Code: [Select]

cat > ~/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml << EOF
<advancedsettings>
<loglevel>3</loglevel>
</advancedsettings>
EOF
start xbmc and post xbmc.log
it is under ~/.xbmc/temp/
