Ubuntu Boxee not starting

[weliwarmer]

Hi,

I have an old laptop and have installed Boxee 0.9.22.13692.i486 on Ubuntu 10.10.

There is no GL support for the 9600 ATI card but videos are still running fine using mythtv or mplayer.

When running /opt/boxee/Boxee, the tmp log ends with

12:38:05 T:3077924736 M:800415744  NOTICE: Default Video Player: dvdplayer
12:38:05 T:3077924736 M:800415744  NOTICE: Default Audio Player: paplayer
12:38:05 T:3077924736 M:800415744  NOTICE: special://masterprofile/sources.xml

12:38:06 T:3077924736 M:799690752   FATAL: CApplication::Create: Unable to init rendering system

Would someone with more knowledge than me please help me start Boxee please?

Thanks,
Tim

I'd start with looking at the output of 'glxinfo|head -20'.

$ glxinfo|head -20
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

I gather that means my old laptop is not good enough to run Boxee?

Were you running that from an ssh shell, or from a terminal right on the desktop? Certainly looks odd if it was the latter.

I have the same issue, reported in http://forums.boxee.tv/showthread.php?t=24005 (I am using intel IGP)

Silverlock, I posted 'glxinfo | head -20' over there. could you take a look?

OP, you could attach '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' here so that there is more info on graphics configuration.

I am getting the same issue. I'm on a nettop with Nvidia ION graphics.

Uninstall existing boxee and install it again may be some problem with Graphics Library.
