Whats the easiest way to update to a newer build? Without losing library and such? Can I just use the in app update channels? or will i loe teh extended addition changes?
Anyone have any input on this?
I just tried this build on my box that was running libreelec. It's a regular HP machine x64
Anyways, when i try to boot it just freezes and i have no idea why. I can't access logs or anything because SSH never starts. Can anyone help?
My autostart.sh only have the line you wrote earlier in the thread, rm /var/run/xorg-configure.done && /usr/lib/xorg/xorg-configure nvidia-legacy, but when I look at xorg-configure.done, its' empty and the size is 0kb? Beside that, then there's no file called xorg-configure nvidia-legacy in /usr/lib/xorg.
It seems like I'm having the same problems as Nexusle, as we both have Atom Intel and ION, but I don't have any problems updating using vanilla LE released a couple of days ago, 8.0.2, without autostart.sh.
Display MoreI guess it could be done. An udev rule could say identify older legacy gpu's by pci id and automatically download an addon with the drivers. Would't work without an internet connection though and seems like not an ideal approach. Also I think nobody (in ELEC world) cares enough about that old gpus. I'm just speculating though, better go ask in the feature request section.
Guide how to use the older drivers:
1. Follow official instructions how to get the source of LE8
2. Modify packages/x11/driver/xf86-video-nvidia-legacy/package.mk and downgrade the version
2. Scour the internet and find info on what patches are needed for compiling with 4.9 kernel and then put them in packages/x11/driver/xf86-video-nvidia-legacy/patches/
3. Build
Very simplified but that's basically it
Thanks escalade. I will give it a try and see what happens.
I'm having an issue when watching media that KODI skips itself forward/back randomly. I've verified all remotes are sitting and untouched. Its super annoying. anyone else experiencing this?
The update channels will install regular builds, use the update folder.
It's supposed to be empty. The file is called xorg-configure, the nvidia-legacy part is the argument.
The autostart trick should work for those who have a card supported by nvidia legacy 340.102. The only difference in my build regarding this is I've updated the kernel and added patches for the legacy driver to compile. I'm guessing the same issue will be present in LE9.
Update folder?
The folder called Update when you access through samba.

Ah. I found the folder. anyone have directions on what to do with it? I didnt see anything original topic. Do I just copy the files over to that folder thru samba?

I have same problem.
Bump on my question anyone? Anyway to diagnose this xorg on boot failure thing?
FWIW I pulled out the HDD and connected to my mac, but I couldn't access /var/log, I was locked into the /storage directory.
1. It's based on LE8, but has lots of changes. All the drivers are included, also I use an updated display driver stack (i.e. updated mesa and kernel).
2. No.
3. I have the same issue some times, switching to a different source on the AVR and then back gives me back the picture though. I believe this bug is with the intel ddx driver, possibly a workaround could be to use the X.org modesetting driver. Or disable the use of KMS as described on the first page.
ok man, this fixed blank screen issues when exiting retroarch: (smaller res on older TV's (4:3?)
retroarch.cfg:
video_fullscreen = "true"
change to
video_fullscreen = "false"
Games will still be in fullscreen
Also made sure the kodi system - display is set to HDMI0 instead of just saying default.
but this should have nothing to do with it really cos it's not even touching kodi cos just emulationstation <-> retroarch
We're a couple of guys with that error, I got the problem on my Atom Intel with ION gpu. Nexusle also describes it.
And why didn't you ssh into it instead of moving it to another computer?
Thats correct escalade, it's a fresh install. I'll try CTRL+ALT+F3.
Is there anyway to get older builds? Rytterdahl was saying that the 05/03 build works. Is that still build available somewhere?
I just want to try this thing out, so even an older build is new to me.
