nightly builds not working with nvidia?

succo · January 5, 2021 at 3:04 PM

ok, I am a long time user of kodi and libreelec and, these times, didn't update very as often as I used to in the past (last version I had installed was from September 26, I guess), anyway i wanted to go to the latest and saw it didn't boot (fluxbox not starting) and saw that the nvidia driver was segfaulting.

As i like to try to solve things for myself, and as i had no older nightly on the server, i tried to build LE and can confirm that latest is segfaulting and that the latest working build is d284214 (the one preceding the migration to K5.10 and Nvidia driver 455.45.01, from December 19)

The next try i'll do will be to build latest with nvidia 450.80.02 to see if it works, but should it work please revert the change, as 455 crash, at least with my GeForce GT 1030, will let you know

There have been significant changes in the last week or so to catch up on several years of missed updates throughout the build-system, so likely we broke something the driver depends upon. It's been noted..

Hi! I confirm that I have exactly the same issue with X86_64 and Nvidia 750Ti with all recent nightlies. I am reassured in some way since I was thinking the problem was specific to me. Hope it can be fixed soon. Is it still possible to download the latest working build ?

succo Hi! I have the same issue. Do you think you could give me the link to the latest working version (from December 19) ? Thanks !!

could anyone pls post the githash/version of the last working version?

succo · January 9, 2021 at 5:34 PM

it's d284214, after that nvidia got bumped to 455 and stopped working

btw, reverting to 450 doesn't work as the build errors out when touching the nvidia driver

that's because the nightly is built from 29069b3e7ff8b504865673f36a5b179422af05a9 which is just one or two commits ahead of the working build... try with tomorrow nightly and it will work (i hope )

Is that this version: LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.80-nightly-20210112-2bd8b78.tar
because "latest" is always such a confusion version number.
