Boxee crashes on Startup

[omgitsmit]

This is what i get when i run it from terminal:


cd: 38: can't cd to /usr/boxee/3rdparty/rtorrent
17/09/08 16:46:15#DEBUG#bxbgprocess.cpp:142(Start)#bg process initialized. 1 worker threads created.
17/09/08 16:46:15#DEBUG#bxcurl.cpp:54(Initialize)#curl initialized. version <7.18.0>

Running Boxee test...
Segmentation fault

I also verified that direct rendering is enabled.

Running Graphics Card:


01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]

hi omgitsmit

sorry:( ...the Radeon Mobility 7500 is unsupported. our minimal requirements include an opengl 1.4 compatible card. according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ATI_graphics_processing_units, your card is an open gl 1.3.

[omgitsmit]

Thank you for answering my problem!
It's nice to see some actual support with a project for once :)

Any news on Boxee for PowerPC? (PS3 would be epic!)

Thanks again.

I did not want to open a new forum for what looks like the same problem. I just installed boxee and it just crashes at startup (xbmc also crashes). I have a HD 2600 video card in my laptop and here is the log that I was able to generate (at least what looks like the relevant parts)

Please let me know if there is something I can do to fix this. Thanks

hi rothgar
It seems like a different problem but lets see if we can help...:)
please pm your debug logs (http://forum.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=377)
also, please try running boxee from command line, as it might give more insights into the problem.
open terminal and run /usr/boxee/run-boxee-desktop.

If your files are too large then please use a paste site for example paste the link into www.pastebin.comalso please also include output from glxinfo.
thanks

@omgitsmit currently no but stay tuned you never know...:)

Hey, if you check for posts under my username you should find one about the 2600 series (desktop card though). I found that the latest ATI driver from the AMD website didn't work, but installing through ENVY did the trick.

Thanks for the suggestions so far,

First of all what I did was I tried reinstalling the driver with Envy (which is how I originally installed the driver). After a reboot I get the same thing.

Here is my debug log.

and here is glxinfo


rothgar@compressor ~ $ glxinfo

Segmentation fault

Probably not a good thing :(

hi rothgar
