[x86-64] Boot-up and install weirdness - no GUI

    Dell D10U – OptiPlex 7600 x 2 (machines) intel chipset

    Libreelec 11.* & 12.*

    I’m having a strange issue. I had a functioning test machine, listed above. Working with a fresh 12.* install. Powered if off, via ssh, and let it sit 2 days.

    After turning it on, I noticed NOTHING was displayed. Rebooted again, same result.

    Re-installed 12.*, after installation, same result. Install went fine, but upon reboot, no display

    2 different machines. same result


    Installed 11.*, after installation, same result. Install went fine, but upon reboot, no display.

    Installed Linux Mint to check graphics card. Linux Mint installed just fine, and on first boot, MATE came up and displayed correctly.

    Not sure what’s happening.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Install a current LE13 nightly to the Dell box. Assuming that doesn't magically fix things, next boot the Linux Mint install in 'Live' mode so you can mount the boot partition of the internal drive and edit syslinux.cfg to append ssh to kernel boot params. Now when you boot the problem LE install again the SSH daemon is forced to start on boot so you can SSH into the box to run pastekodi and share the log URL that's generated; which hopefully shines a light on what the underlying problem is. In the absence of some logs/info we are blind to what the issue might be.
