Ive had 10.0.4 running happily and am starting to look at upgrading to 11.00. Done an install to a clean hard drive and established the drivers all work as expected, but before I wipe the SSD currently with 10.0.4, is it possible to shortcut getting the settings transferred to a new install or do I have to manually set it all up again? Does 'Backup' and recover work for this?
Upgrade to 11.

Just make a backup of the 10.x install in-case you want/need to revert, and then update the existing install. No need to wipe it unless you have a good reason to.

Code
cd /storage/.update wget https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-11.0.0.img.gz reboot -
Ok that makes sense... I'm not a Linux person! One (hopefully ) last stupid question; how do I get to the command line, it just auto boots into Kodi?!
SSH remotely. PuTTY for the Windows man

ok... can see why I thought windows was a step forward from Dos
I'll have play tomorrow and see if my 73 year old brain cells can cope. ..... seem to remember I SSH'd once before. Thanks!

Ensure you have SSH enabled in LibreELEC. In PuTTY on your remote computer enter the IP address of your LibreElec box, select Connect Once and username =root and password=libreelec if you haven’t changed it during the LibreELEC installation. It really is that simple.

Got it, thanks! I went down a slighlty different route and used WinSCP that I currently use to upload podcasts to my phone using FTP.
That allowed me to log into libreelec /root/storage/.update and upload the .gz file.
Reboot the libreelec system and the update installed perfectly.Thanks for saving hours of fidling around!

Hello
Just to perfect understanding
I have librelec 10.0.4 on RPI4 and I want to migrateur to 11.0
I need to
1- make a backup
2- make a clean install of 11.0 (nexus)
3- After New installation > go to librelec setting and install my backup
And it will working ?
-
Make a backup .. then update to 11.0 via the settings add-on. This avoids the need for clean-install and restore. If (and only if) something goes wrong you have the backup to restore back to 10.0.

Well,
I tried upgrade from 10.0.4 to 11.0.0 (and also to 11.0.1). Did not worked.
Via Kodi, the download and extract process was success. But after boot Im stucked at "LibreELEC (official): 11.0.1" screen. No disk activity, just freeze upon boot. Im kinda out of luck there right? (Linux, standalone x86 version). -
I have access to SSH, there are logs: https://temp.pocitac.com/kodi/log-2023-04-30-21.01.01.zip
Is is the "GPU issue" that dont dun GUI due to GPU? -
xsoft Nvidia GPU is only supported with Generic-legacy image.
To update via ssh:
Codesystemctl stop kodi wget -P /storage/.update https://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-11.0.1.img.gz reboot -
Fixed, thanks.
