[x86-64] Black Screen with Generic-Legacy Nightlies

    The latest generic leagcy version that was running was 20250412f02c670 from that build on all the newest versions result in a black screen with blinking mouse indicator. I am running a multiboot system. Any advise is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    I noticed that also ,I checked every build after 20250412 ,none is working.Im pretty sure its a known problem ,nvidia new gpx drivers.

    maybe even newer drivers will work (beta)?

    My hardware is intel cpu with nvidia 1030 gpu.

    If you still have SSH access in black screen mode, login, and grab a log.

    Please provide a full debug log.

    How to post a log (wiki)

    1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
    2. Restart Kodi
    3. Replicate the problem
    4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

    use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

    sorry that doesn´ t make sense, if i have a black screen how should i enable debugging for the version that is causing the problem? or is debugging still enabled when i do an update to a newer version?

    You could try booting from the LE Live disc, then when that is fully loaded, remove the usb drive and select reboot. If that doesn't work you should at least be able to access your LE install from the live environment and recover/debug from there.

    I have been having your same problem since installing 12.0.2, on fairly different HW: an HP stream laptop... so probably not a gpu driver issue. Calling up the boot menu on restart and then manually selecting the install drive also works for me. I am guessing a boot manager issue?

    nvidia rtx a2000 12gb version

    nVidia support is currently broken in LE13 nightlies and might take a while to fix as nobody on staff has anything to-hand that can run the offending 570.xx drivers: we have been telling users to avoid nVidia GPU purchases for years and it seems we have heeded our own advice. It probably needs a motivated user to figure out the issue and send a fix. If the card is also supported by the older 550.xx driver you can use older nightlies.

    i am currently using the nightly from 12.04.2025 generic leagcy, it is the last working version.

    good guess, grub2 for windows. We are talking about a triple boot system win10, libreelec, batocera. Since the nightly from 14.04.2025 all was working

    Hey

    New nvidia driver

    Driver Version: 570.153.02
    Release Date: Mon May 19, 2025

    Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications and compositors to stall when using NVIDIA as a PRIME Display Offload sink ("Reverse PRIME"), potentially resulting in a black screen.

    Might fix it i hope because im also waiting for LE13 generic-legacy nightlys to work again :)

    Regards

    Sorry, the standard instructions do not work for you. Activate protocol level 1 by creating an advancedsettings.xml. Then reboot, log in again and use pastekodi to get the URL of the log.

    Is it helpful to create a log when we know it's a Nividia driver issue? Serious question...

    Unfortunately using legacy.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20250520 nvidia 570.153.02 still giving me black screen.Intel + nvidia 1030.

    Maybe consider using the last working nvidia drivers that works perfectly from 20250412 570.133.07 ?
