Empty list under "Available Versions"

    vmware workstation can start both generic-legacy and generic ovas.

    lspci shows that libreelec/linux recognizes video card as VMWare SVGA II adapter.

    Maybe configure your video card in hypervisor properly or use different virtualization software. VGA (640x480) emulation is likely not enough for the system.

    Maybe also start new topic instead of hijacking something unrelated to virtualbox.

    lspci shows that libreelec/linux recognizes video card as VMWare SVGA II adapter.

    The lspci output above says that it is a virtualbox vga. So, if there is no driver for it in the supplied ova file, this means it is incompatible with virtualbox. If this is really the case, I would like it to be mentioned somewhere, like the generic image states "no nvidia support" in parentheses.

    As for the hijacking, I opened this thread a year ago and my issue was that le could not run properly on vmware... because it had no free space to do anything and, as the dev said, it was an issue with the ova file. I remembered it when I decided to try le 12 in a vm, but I was hoping it was fixed, because the pull request was indeed merged. I am now downloading gparted to check its size.

    I changed the vm's vga to "vmsvga", enabled 3d acceleration and maxed its video memory to 128mb. The best thing it managed to do is to show libreelec's splash screen, followed by 4-5 failed attempts to start xorg and then a reboot.
    What is worse, while the vm could not start xorg, it was keeping the mouse captured, so I had no way to close it. I switched to a tty and force-closed it with

    Code
    vboxmanage controlvm LibreELEC poweroff

    Le 12 on virtualbox: does not work, many issues, would not recommend, 1 star :P

    As for the original issue that I opened the thread, it seems to still be present as you can see in the screenshots below.
