Boxee won't start

[telly]

I'm a first time user of boxee. When i terminal this command:


/opt/boxee/run-boxee-desktop

I get:


21/10/08 21:49:05#DEBUG#bxbgprocess.cpp:142(Start)#bg process initialized. 1 worker threads created.
21/10/08 21:49:05#DEBUG#bxcurl.cpp:63(Initialize)#curl initialized. version <7.18.0>

Running Boxee test...
And the log goes to... /tmp/test-

try to run glxgears.
it fails, right?

you need to (re)install your nvidia/ati drivers.

Boxees, you need to detect this condition and fail gracefuly.

Thanks, went for a full os reinstall!:p

From this I gather Boxee will not run without 3d card drivers installed and activated. Is this correct?

it is... the core of xbmc/boxee is based on the sdl 3d framework... it's more designed for cross-platform games, then this type of application.... but it fits the bill.

to be more accurate... Boxee uses SDL for the window creation but from there on it is pure OpenGL. It is important to make sure that Direct Rendering is enabled (glxinfo). This requires Nvidia/ATI propietery drivers or Intel (945+).

Can anyone help me.
