The addition "nouveau.modeset=0" will not solved the problem.

To use intel graphic - like

Code

cp /etc/X11/xorg-i915.conf /storage/.config/xorg.conf

and blacklisting nvidia.

Or maybe nvidia-legacy should be used? Worth a try.

Hello, i have make a new LE 8.2 USB Stick.

Than i boot LE 8.2 "live" modus, no problems.

Now:

Code

cp /etc/X11/xorg-i915.conf /storage/.config/xorg.conf

The /etc/X11/xorg-i915.conf is total empty, no content.

The /storage/.config/xorg.conf to.

LE 8.2 booting in the "run" modus, i get the "GPU: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile" driver.

Shutdown LE 8.2, booting again, and the xorg will not start.

Where and how can i disable nvidia?

Did LE 8.2 the nuoveau oder nvidia driver as default?

/primary/.config/xorg.conf

Code

Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Device0"
  Driver      "intel"
  VendorName  "INTEL Corporation"
  Option "TripleBuffer" "false"
  Option "TearFree" "false"
EndSection

For the "run" mode mount the second partition on any linux OS and create the empty file as as root:

Code

true > "mount point"/.config/udev.rules.d/96-nvidia.rules

Hello, new test.

Created a new LibreELEC 8.2 with:

Code

sudo ./LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.Linux-64bit.bin

With "gparted" i have rezided the second partition "primary.

Now i boot the LE 8.2 stick first, LE 8.2 checks the filessytem.

Than i start Lubuntu 16.04 LTS, i mount second partition "primary.

Created 96-nvidia.rules:

Code

sudo nano /media/liberi/56757c16-5918-4dbc-9fd8-415ad033157d/.config/udev.rules.d/96-nvidia.rules

now:

Code

sudo su

true > /media/liberi/56757c16-5918-4dbc-9fd8-415ad033157d//.config/udev.rules.d/96-nvidia.rules

What did i do with "rue > "/media/liberi/56757c16-5918-4dbc-9fd8-415ad033157d//.config/udev.rules.d/96-nvidia.rules" ?

Why can not I just do it as admin? I must login as "root"?

Now i boot LE 8.2 an LE 8.2 is working fine.

I will testing more time.

----------------------------------------------

........................................................

If i boot LE 8.2 "live" and the "run", the xorg server will not start.

Now i will create log files.

........................................................

If i boot LE 8.2 "live" and use the "run" modus, the xorg server will not start.

It will not work at every boot.

The file overrides /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/96-nvidia.rules and as empty file disables loading the drivers for nvidia graphic cards.

LE only uses root (UID 0/GID 0). Being it prevents any issues.

Hello, i will try it again.

I have boot the run modus, xorg server will not start and get this error logfile:

Perl Nopaste

Code

08:56:28.169 T:139752820583744  NOTICE: Log File is located: /storage/.kodi/temp//kodi.log

08:56:28.176 T:139752820583744  NOTICE: load settings...

Now i do this:

[___] NVIDIA Optimus - LibreELEC 8.2 with NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 730M]

The xorg server is starting

This is the log file:

https://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?1165451

LE 8.2 in the run modus will work fine. I have ssh connect.

If i boot now "live-modus", the xorg server crashed, i have no ssh connect.

**mglae** · November 16, 2017 at 5:13 PM

Forget the "live" mode. It always starts with an empty /storage RAM disk file system and no configuration is possible.

Enjoy the working configuration.

Thanks to @\x from irc this is the solution.

17:13 <\x> ^ that did the trick

17:13 <\x> so basically that + turn off lvds1 at boot

17:14 <\x> tho this is with intel igpu

17:14 <\x> but yeah, as long as it works, I'll take it
