xbmc lockup freeze on start
ok when i first installed sabayon on my computer i was useing xbmc it worked great. than i stopped useing it and just recently ive been trying to get it to run properply. i think what happened was during the lastest updates to the system i did something broke. im useing a intel pentium 4 processor with 512 to a gig of memory its a hp pravilion a819n nothing fancy.
what happens weather i try to load through gdm login or through applications menu on gnome ill se the xbmc logo and the mouse cursor unable to move the cursor at any time. it will load once in awhile ill see the side panel menu most of the time i dont. and thats it it automatically freezes every time. i have no idea whats going on. heres the most recent crash log http://www.sabayon.org/pastie/5590 |
ok so i tried soemthing differnt to get the terminal results of whats going on i just printed the xbmc command to a file useing the ">" command. it loaded all the way but the screen was slightly off but it still frozed just didnt turn the screen blank at all.
heres the file that was printed Code:
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/home/bloodyscript/.smb/smb.conf": |
update. i tried running xbmc thorugh terminal and gdm login window as root. this time it loaded the screen wasnt over sized or black the mouse was able to move but it was lagging horendously and it locked up froze in a seond or two when it was fully loaded.

update. could possibly have something to do with the graphics card and driver. i have a intel graphics media accelerator 900 with 128 shared video memory. im not sure which driver im useing how would i find out i check through the control center and system settings tab but couldnt find out which driver its set to. i dont think it was set to opengl when i did tne cmd eselect opengl set xorg-x11 it took about 20 seconds and it said it was switched.
talking to myself mayb one of us will find the answer |
update. nothing has changed xbmc still refueses to work properly. im beging to feel like it could possibly be a hardware probelm possibly my cpu is being over heated or my onboard video card is being over worked when xbmc is running forcing the computer to lock up and freeze. who knoes i have no idea just would liek to get some answers

ok heres the new update. on the xbmc forum someone mentioned it could be dvdplayer related it was hanging at the dvd phase according him and asked if one was hooked up i replied yes and havnt herd anythign since. so today i decided to unplug both dvd drives and this is what happened.
Code:
