If your remove the kodi.bin from the autostart file, does the xserver alone come up?

Try that please and get me: DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | pastebinit

I see a very strange kernel error on your side - can you try with the shipped 3.19 kernel of Vivid?

OpenELEC from USB stick works?

I removed the kodi.bin but the xserver does not come up

Same problem.


OpenELEC from USB stick works?
not tried yet, is the OpenELEC a live stick ?

kind regards

[fritsch]

Yes, gunzip the img.gz then dd it to an usb stick. On boot enter "live" without the "".

[fritsch]

Please triple verify, that you did not forget the: dpkg-reconfigure x11-common to set it to everybody.

Also get me the user name you are using and the output of "id" with that user.

[jteeuw]

The openelec stick works,

dpkg-reconfigure x11-commom is set to everybody , i have installed everthing with user kodi with id kodi

[jteeuw]

I did some more testing and if i connect the pc with vga to a monitor i see everything (bios,prompt and then kodi)

When I connect with hdmi is see the following: bios ,prompt and then nothing

When I connect hdmi and vga , I see on the hdmi monitor :bios, prompt and then kodi on the vga monitor

You don't use encrypted homes, do you? From the dmesg it seems the GPU has issues with your HDMI monitor and it cannot determine its size. As it does not work with normal ubuntu either, it seems to be a bug, that you need to file at bugs.freedesktop.org cause it is sadly unrelated to the code we are testing here.

Before filing, you can of course try:

Code:

mkdir kernel-drm
cd kernel-drm
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/current/linux-headers-4.2.0-994-generic_4.2.0-994.201507170159_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-nightly/current/linux-headers-4.2.0-994_4.2.0-994.201507170159_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i *deb

Have fun.

I have no encrypted homes and did run the kernal update but still the same problem, will report it @ bugs.freedesktop.org

Btw. did this ever work for you? :-) What hardware is that?

Edit:

[ 0.063471] smpboot: CPU0: Intel® Core™ i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz (fam: 06, model: 3a, stepping: 09)
[ 0.063490] Performance Events: PEBS fmt1+, 16-deep LBR, IvyBridge events, full-width counters, Intel PMU driver.

Should work ™.

What reveiled the OpenELEC test?

[fritsch]

I talked with chris wilson on IRC, have a look here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88331 and subscribe yourself.

chris added a patch that fix it for you: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88331 <- though you need to build linux kernel from source and applying that patch manually.

It worked with this tutorial : http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=165707 , the hardware is a dell OptiPlex 3010

With openelec it worked !

Thanks for the asking on IRC but my knowledge of Linux is to so great that I can compile a linux kernal ;-(

Then there is still something wrong with the initial setup, as OpenELEC (the builds I provide here) use the very same kernel (4.1.x).

Get me again:
id | pastebinit

then do:
sudo systemctl stop kodi

and afterwards
X &
DISPLAY=:0 kodi

Edit: And as you are at it, get me: sudo journalctl -a | pastebinit too

[fritsch]

Yeah, then you need to upload the journalctl -a > debug.txt somewhere.

But I think you are affected by the bug mentioned above, so it won't work.
