XBMCbuntu 12.04 with pre-Frodo (end October release)

October 30, 2012 by 18 Comments

Here’s another XBMCbuntu release based on the latest October code. As the plans are currently drawn we can expect the final release of XBMC Frodo before the end of the year. Next month no more featuers will be added to the code base and a beta will be expected later. Please post your test results here;

    Thanks! Ik had eigenlijk een eerste Pivos systeem verwacht met Android. Daar wilde ik iets over gaan schrijven. Verder verwacht ik volgende maand een eerste officiele alpha release. Daar zal ik zeker wat achtergrond over gaan schrijven.

    Is is possible to upgrade from V5? Or do you have to install the V6 iso?

    I have a quick question:

    I have a perfectly fine running XBMCubuntu Eden release.

    Can I go ahead and do apt-get dist-upgrade to update to this version? Or do I need to download the USB image, re install everthing and do all my configuratios (such as network shares etc. etc.). Any idea?

    It just does not make sense to re-install a full blown OS in order to get the latest XBMC release..

    Thanks!

    Net geïnstalleerd op mijn custom built HTPC, maar krijg audio over mijn NVidia GT640 HDMI niet in orde…
    In alsamixer alles unmuted & in XBMC detecteert hij “HDA NVidia, PHL Philips FTV on HDMI”.

    Ik kom van de officiële 11.0 Eden-build waar alles werkte (na installatie alsa drivers weliswaar).
    Moet ik nu weer die alsa drivers installeren, want naar wat ik vernomen had zou dit niet meer nodig zijn met de nieuwe AudioEngine?

    Just tested on a new AMD Trinity chip. Does not install and drops out with a ‘hda_codec: cannot build error”. I’m assuming newer drivers are needed for the the new AMD FM2 chips ( I’m running a A6-5600k).

    Any chance the new drivers can be included in the next build?

    Dean,

    To Follow up, I’m not sure what version of the catalyst drivers you included in this build, but I think 12.10 or later is needed to support FM2 chips.

    gave it a spin has some nice features i’m looking forward to but can’t run it. CPU usage on my revo 3610 is pinned out, 100% fans screaming. Leave the thing unusable.

    Had issues with audio through an ATI HDMI, due to the Nvidia driver being preinstalled, fixed it with this

    sudo apt-get install dh-make dh-modaliases execstack libqtgui4 build-essential libc6

    sudo apt-get remove fglrx* nvidia*

    wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip

    unzip amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip

    sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run –buildandinstallpkg

    sudo service lightdm stop

    sudo aticonfig –initial -f
    sudo aticonfig –vs=on
    sudo aticonfig –set-pcs-u32=MCIL,HWUVD_H264Level51Support,1
    sudo reboot
