[SOLVED] Unable to login/start - Need to check log

Hi,

In continuation of libreElec installation to a new 8TB HDD (thread) ; I then able to restart to the new HDD.

I can see the LibreELEC splashscreen and the "LibreELEC (official) - Version: 8.0.2" word on top left hand side

But...that's it...no GUI no nothing afterwards, it just stuck there.

I can also see the computer HDD light does not lite up / working at all; which indicated that the computer is rather idle / hang.

It's been running 2.5 hours and the screen just stay as is, I might going to try for another hour or so,

if the problem persist, is there a way to retrieve the start up log files to check what's really happening?

Thank you!

Seagate Expansion 8TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STEB8000100) Hi Klojum,

Thanks for your response; I tried to ssh from another machine (Mac), unfortunately, connection is refused.

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.105 port 22: Connection refused

I then tried to use Ubuntu LiveCD and managed to get the log files from the drive:

- kodi.log = Empty file

- kodi.log.old = Ubuntu Pastebin

- kodi_crashlog_20170712210957.log = Ubuntu Pastebin

- kodi_crashlog_20170712210925.log = Ubuntu Pastebin

For your reference, the following is my hardware spec:

- HP Microserver N40L

- Memory 8GB

- Graphic:

-- internal graphic card to VGA monitor (I use this during libreelec installation)

-- Asus Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR (I use this once libreelec is up and running to my projector)

- Seagate 8TB (taken from Expansion 8TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 - STEB8000100)

Note: If I use my 1TB HDD (Hitachi HTS541010A9E680), LibreElec works as expected

Hope this information helps your investigations

Thanks heaps!

Hi Klojum,

I'm afraid that Linux/LibreELEC doesn't really like your AMD video card. AMD/Ati GPUs have given us mixed results for the last couple of years, mostly because AMD hasn't really bothered to do any Linux video support.

You mean you then get a normal display of LibreELEC's main screen? That would be very odd.

Sorry, I think you were right, I tried plug-in my 1TB HDD with the same VGA display, and it is just stuck during boot (right after docker applications run):

ERROR: X11 Error: No Display found

The resolution is to boot the 8TB using external graphic using HDMI port (Asus Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR ), and do the configuration over projector
