I have a very odd issue. I tried running xbmc and it gave me an error about not having opengl loaded. I have the updated 256 nvidia drivers. when I ran "glxinfo | grep -i direct" I got:


NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

and when i typed "sudo glxinfo | grep -i direct" I got:


direct rendering: Yes
GL_EXT_Cg_shader, GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access,


so tried sudo xbmc, and it runs. ... :confused:

is there a way to not have to sudo xbmc everytime?

I just tried running xbmc in the terminal without sudo and it gave an error:
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied).

I checked and I am part of the video group. I set it so that others can read/write it. Then I got this error:
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia0 (Permission denied).

So I read/write nvidia0 and got:


/usr/bin/xbmc: line 88: 32590 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin "$@"

I'm now going to reset those 2 files permissions back and maybe someone will know more. Thank in advance :)

dont know how to solve it for you, but do know that sudoing gui apps screws up permissions....maybe thats what caused it. should always use gksu/kdesudo instead.

I tried sudo after trying it without sudo. I didn't realize that sud/gksudo act differently. I will have to watch that.
