Ubuntu Base/Server 14.04 LTS (Trusty) EMGD problem

[tb404]

I have installed the following on my joggler:

Ubuntu Base/Server 14.04 LTS (Trusty)
Joggler Image v1.5 – 04/06/2016)
http://jwills.co.uk/projects/joggler-xubuntu/download/

I booted into it and installed:
apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
apt-get kodi

I then edited .xinitrc
exec kodi-standalone

when i launch startx kodi loads, however it is running dog slow, there is no animation and the buttons take a few seconds before they move.

EMGD appears to start according to dmesg, are there any other packages im missing?

Did you install on internal or USB stick ?
Did you set the thermal PSV ?

I installed it onto a USB stick and have this inside grub.cfg:

linux /vmlinuz-3.2.80joggler1 root=LABEL=linux-root ro quiet splash thermal.psv=90

sensors also shows its not overheating.

The base stock server will only fit on a 2Gb Opentouch device. The regular joggler's 1Gb MMC is too small for the base server.

Yesterday shrank it down to a touch over 1G and it was still too big with the Boot EFI and 2nd partition.

Your MMC might be a bit of an issue. I noticed this the other day running the firmware upgrade. Lots of FSCK writes.

Try booting from a regular USB Ubuntu stick and do a check disk on the MMC to see how it looks.

That looks OK , not sure what your issue will be , it could be a slow USB stick maybe ?
Have you tried the full Ubuntu with Kodi already installed ? It might be that the base has other stuff missing that Kodi needs .
The one you need is the first one Xubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty)
BuZz builds Kodi and a few other things on to it specifically for the Joggler , you can just uninstall what you don't need .

I have installed the xbuntu image instead what has kodi already installed on it and it works perfectly now, so maybe the server / base needs some extra packages so EMGD works in Kodi

All good then

Should work on the base image - it has the emgd xserver driver and kernel module already installed and a default /etc/X11/xorg.conf - I would need to see the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to get an idea why it isn't working (and possibly other logs).

I have reproduced the problem - Kodi is using software opengl, even though the xserver looks ok. will dig further.
