Switch to GL in the Nightlies is now preventing install

    Hi All,

    So i'm running a 10th Gen Intel NUC i3 and i'm trying to upgrade to the latest nightly from one of the retroplayer 13 builds. However when i try to upgrade i see this message on the terminal.

    ERROR: LibreElec-Generic.x86-64-13.nightly-20250725-f0482de.img.gz is not compatible with Generic-gl.x86.64 hardware - Update cancelled


    So i know the builds now include the full switch to GL but i thought this should be compatible with my NUC? I'm downloading the usual Generic build and not sure if i should now switch to Generic-Legacy?

    Any help is much appreciated

    Sorry you will already know this but i did see that message where it says if i

    Create /storage/.update/.nocompat to disable compatibility checks and risk a non-booting system.

    So this should solve my issue and hopefully not risk a non booting system.

    "Generic-gl" was temporary and it is now removed from the LE build system. This is normal that it would fail the check when upadting to Generic.

    So i've created the directory .nocompat

    Does the update file go in that directory or in the normal update directory ? Both aren't seeming to work.

    In update is says it's not comaptible

    The update is just ignored when in the nocompat directory

    Yes this didn't work - I SSHd in - ran the command and placed the update the .update folder itself and i still get the same error.

    Placing an update in the .nocompat folder gets ignored and kodi still boots

    Quote from sunlollyking

    So i've created the directory .nocompat

    It's a file not a directory. The full path for 'touch' is /storage/.update/.nocompat

    Another method is to untar the update file and move KERNEL, KERNEL.md5, SYSTEM, SYSTEM.md5 to /storage/.update and reboot.
