Solution 1:

XBMC Ubuntu Minimal Systems Requirements1

  • CPU: x86 or x86_64 processor such as: Intel Pentium 4, Intel Pentium M, AMD Athlon XP/64, AMD Opteron, or newer CPU. (Anything made in the last few years does.)
  • RAM: 256MB minimum, 1GB recommended
  • Graphics: XBMC will run on most graphics cards made in the last few years. This includes most cards from ATI/AMD, Intel, or NVIDIA which support OpenGL 2.0 or later.
  • ATI/AMD - minimum: ATI Radeon RV710/M92 (HD 4300/4500), recommended: ATI Radeon Cedar (Radeon HD 5400 Series) or newer
  • Intel - minimum: Intel GMA 950 (945G), recommended: Intel GMA X4500HD (G45) or newer
  • Nvidia - minimum: Nvidia GeForce 6-Series, recommended: Nvidia GeForce 8-Series or newer
  • Drive space: minimum: 4-8GB, recommended: 16GB or more

The Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller is subject to this bug report: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation). From the bug description: My OpenGL has stopped working. According to this answer you can get OpenGL (by itself, not necessarily with XBMC) to work in Unity 2D with Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics by running this command:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
