11.0.5 11.0.6 stuck at splash after adding nVidia GT 1030 to a HTPC

Hello to All!

I have a i5-7400 based HTPC which run perfectly LE 11.0.5 - just installed fresh a few days ago. To get HDMI 2.0 (MB is 1.4) I dropped in a nVidia GT 1030 and it stucked at spash screen. I tried to reinstall LE 11.0.5, then LE 11.0.6 - same effort. Win10 or linuxmint 21.3 works perfect. What can go wrong? Help me please.

Cheers

Whenever Nvidia GPU is used, you have to install the Generic-legacy image of LE.

Thank you! As I read through the download section on libreelec.tv it became clear what I had done wrong. I downloaded the software versions using the USB-SD Creator application and the list suggests the opposite. I didn't conclude that I needed the Generic-legacy version, since the nVidia label is on a different line.

Yep, that's misleading. We will edit those entries. It should be:

Generic (AMD/Intel)
Generic Legacy (NVIDIA/Chrome Browser)
