  • Hello. now LibreELEC 8.2 works without problems.

    I only work with one USB stick.

    USB stick-1

    Code
    sudo dd if=LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.0.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync

    Than i boot USB stick-1

    I use Tab run (i can select "install", "live" and "run")

    Now i can boot and configure LibreELEc 8.2 with my Notebook, NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 730M]

    Its a problem from the LE 8.2 install or my USB stick.

    Now:

    Code
    Corsair SanDisk 3.0 (scsi)
    Festplatte  /dev/sdb:  16,0GB
    Sektorgröße (logisch/physisch): 512B/512B
    Partitionstabelle: gpt
    Disk-Flags: 
    
    Nummer  Anfang  Ende    Größe   Dateisystem  Name     Flags
     1      4194kB  541MB   537MB   fat16        primary  legacy_boot, msftdata
     2      541MB   16,0GB  15,5GB  ext4         primary
    Code
    sudo blkid
    /dev/sdb1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="LIBREELEC" UUID="2710-1044" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="primary" PARTUUID="c8bebfee-4e18-4da1-98e9-5d0422f8e4ae"
    /dev/sdb2: UUID="58857c16-5918-4dbc-9fd8-415abc33157d" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="primary" PARTUUID="627b7a11-e29c-47b3-877d-7f70cc7ff8ff"


    The resizing from ext4 takes a long time.

  • It is not good, the next boot, the xorg crashed.

  • The /libreelec/syslinux.conf

  • Live Boot, worked

    Code
    LibreELEC:~ # cd /etc/X11/
    LibreELEC:/etc/X11 # ls
    xorg-i915.conf           xorg-nvidia.conf
    xorg-nvidia-legacy.conf  xorg-radeon.conf
    LibreELEC:/etc/X11 #

    All files empty.

    Perl Nopaste

    Which etc/X11/*.conf i use with Live Boot?

    If I use the boot option "run", the USB never will start the xserver.

    I think intel graphic card works in "live2 mode. But no idea why not in "run" mode. One option would be to use xorg-i915.conf but for this you need already working system. Or you could boot with run mode to get second partition as it should be and then back in live mode to copy xorg.conf.

  • You could try to disable nvidia card with adding nouveau.modeset=0 to syslinux.cfg file on first partition on a usb stick. Something like

    Code
    LABEL run
    KERNEL /KERNEL
    APPEND boot=UUID=....... disk=UUID=....... portable quiet nouveau.modeset=0
