Bananian - XBMC compiler error - WORKS

rutierut

Wow kodi would be awesome!

stony

I compiled Kodi but when I start it I just get a GUI error

1. root@bananapi ~ # kodi
   
2. ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
   
3. 255 root@bananapi ~ #

Copy the Code

kodi.log:

1. ERROR: InitWindowSystem: Could not initialize
   
2. FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to init windowing system
   

Copy the Code

any ideas how to fix this?

did u do that ?

1. Turn on specific Sunxi optimizations for X
   
2. Edit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
   
3. # This is a minimal sample config file, which can be copied to
   
4. # /etc/X11/xorg.conf in order to make the Xorg server pick up
   
5. # and load xf86-video-fbturbo driver installed in the system.
   
6. #
   
7. # When troubleshooting, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the debugging
   
8. # output and error messages.
   
9. #
   
10. # Run "man fbturbo" to get additional information about the extra
    
11. # configuration options for tuning the driver.

bananian dont uses x11 on his own thats the problem i belive .... if u try this on a system that uses x11 from stock its pretty easy

1. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if there’s no errors and acceleration has indeed been turned on
   
2. [    18.611] (II) FBTURBO(0): enabled G2D acceleration
   
3. [    18.611] (==) FBTURBO(0): Backing store disabled
   
4. [    18.613] (II) FBTURBO(0): using sunxi disp layers for X video extension
   
5. [    18.613] (II) FBTURBO(0): using hardware cursor
   
6. Copy the Code

checked this ?? is it right?


take a fresh bananian and get it to work with x11 ..... than start that shit maybe this is better

stony

I installed lxde desktop manager, so I guess that I have X11 installed. However xorg.conf is missing.

I will check that later!

hi stony,
I will try to compile kodi on my arch. What sources of kodi you compiled? from this git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git ?

stony

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fbturbo_drv.so does not exist on my bananian. I have to add, that I'm trying on a BPI R1!

I followed multiple tutorials. In the end I used git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git and the ./configure settings from this tutorial: http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianXBMC
I really don't know what all the settings do. I think --with-platform=raspberry-pi means that there should be integrated more than just xbmc in the build? --disable-x11 and --disable-pulse is not a good idea, what do you think?

stony

Update: Now I configured kodi with x11 and pulse. Starting brings following error:

1. /usr/local/lib/kodi/kodi-xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
   
2. /usr/local/lib/kodi/kodi-xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
   
3. libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
   
4. Segmentation fault (core dumped)
   
5. Crash report available at /root/kodi_crashlog-20150129_201336.log

--disable-x11 and --disable-pulse

Is very good idea ;) - because you can use XBMC as your default init ( example: R1 as your home router/access point and in meantime as you TV box ) --with-platform= it means that you use some kind of dedicated config script (i guess)

Are you compiling on Bananian ?

On bananian is some kind of old gcc for amrhf - without mcpu=arm7ve and without coretex-a7 arch (on Arm ArchLinux gcc is in "full" version)

stony

yes, I compiled on Bananian. Will try on my Ubuntu laptop. The use case you explained is exactly what I want to do with the bpi r1.
