No HDMI out when Upgrade

Below is my post from OE forum. Sorry if that is offends or anything...
I was hoping trying LE would be different but no dice. Same result
I have tried to drop the LE .tar file to upgrade folder and exact same result... So I am concerned there must be some issue w/ my HTPC and driver support.
I also tried a couple Millhouse builds but same result.
Even when I write an image (again w/ OE) w/ 7 I do not get any HDMI out.
I did not try a clean install w/ LE but I dont see that will make any difference. And I will have to roll it back w/ live boot from 6.03 OE and that is a pain enough...

This post below from OE forum has been up for a day but no reply.
I just really want Jarvis up and going on my main system. I have it going on 2 RPi3 w/ used the .tar updagrades perfectly.

I have been trying for a week to get OE to update so I can play w/ Jarvis... I really love OE and got my Pi3 working great on OE7 w/ a fresh install.
I have 6.03 working fine and sharp but no matter what I try I can not get any output from PC to TV or monitor when I boot.
I know oE is running b/c I can SSH and Kodi Remote on Iphone in via network. And Samba working fine...
So It is just not recognizing any output for HDMI. No Signal at all... I have tried live booting into a USB image but same thing. No video
I have been reading for ever tonight on any clue or how to SSH in there and change the output... AT A LOSS!!
So if anyone can provide guidance.
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5800 @ 3.20GHz
GPU: Mesa DRI Intl G45/G43

Is it a problem w/ Driver Support for my PC?

I restored back to 6.03.w/ live boot image and then restored .tar back up. Back to normal and working fine... But I'm still on Isengard 15.2 and a bit limited. I cant set up a mysql server to my RPi till I figure out how to get this onto Jarvis.
ANY guidance and help is appreciated!!!!

I have tried installing the current 6.90.005 LE build using an image on USB and booting live to it. I am still getting no video output.
As soon as I boot to USB disk there is a splash of some text that looks like command line then it goes dark. No signal.
When I use the .tar file to upgrade my OE 6.03 build it works. I can SHH in there, can SAMBA, KORE remote. It seems to be working fine but no video output via HDMI. So I am sure its running background.
I am not familiar enough nor have I found any post to tell me how to see the video output settings via SSH.

I would like to just fresh install and just rebuild as I do have a lot of junk on my KODI build (some stuff that will not be supported). Its been a couple years so could use a fresh install.
So any help out there? Any post or forums anyone can point me to?

Any info I can provide to see if there is driver support for my hardware? Other than:
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5800 @ 3.20GHz
GPU: Mesa DRI Intl G45/G43

At a loss...

Completely fresh install of OE 6.03 using .img file on usb.
Dropped the LE 6.90.005 .tar file and updated. Same thing. No HDMI signal. there has to be something I can do.
Any suggestions?

David,
Thank you very much for your response and willingness to help me out.
I am still no closer to knowing what is causing all this headache!
Here is a link to a google drive w/ the information you asked for.
I deleted the .kodi folder and then I pulled the logs and xrandr and dmesg from OE 6.03.
I then dropped the .tar file for LE 6.90 into the update folder and rebooted... No HDMI output
I then got the xrandr, dmesg and log.
All 6 files are in the google drive.
Please let me know if there is anything further you need and what you think of this issue.
Thanks again!!

Ok... So I didnt really read the difference in the xrandr but I think its obvious...
So the OE6.03 has HDMI1 connected and the LE6.90 show HDMI1 as disconnected.
So how do I get this to connect?
I am not changing anything physically when I do the update.
I also tried to reboot plugged directly into my TV and made no difference. I am plugging the HDMI inot a pioneer VSX-60 reciever.... And I see that listed under device 4 in the LE6.90 log

Not sure that is going to make a difference. I can't even get a splash screen. The HDMI is just not being detected. I was checking out xorg.conf file set up but not sure how to configure that. Tried a couple configurations but could get HDMI1 to show connected in xrandr

I did go in and play w/ some settings on the kodi iphone remote about video acceleration (VDPAU & VAAPI) turned them off and on and rebooted and nothing made a difference. Thanks for the tip josefelix but didnt do anything.

@ David
You know the Live USB boo for OE 6.03 works but not OE 6.95 nor the LE 6.90
Im sure it loads in background but no HDMI outuput. I have to believe G45 had to drop support or something... Just a thought

Could you do me a favour...I see, that you have an amp between your HTPC and your TV. At least that is show in your OE installation, that a Pioneer VSX-60 is connected. Could you please try to connect the HTPC directly to your TV? Like this:

HTPC---HDMI---->TV

There are some known bugs with Intel and Pioneer and I want to rule the Pioneer out probably being the culprit. My guess is, that the HDMI handshake doesn´t work because the Pioneer sends shitty EDID informations.

We can workaround this later, not a huge deal, but I want to be sure first.

Thanks David. I did do this. Both with LE and OE versions after they were up and running. Also with the live boot USB image before install when I wiped the hard drive.
Didn't seem to matter.
I have an LG 55UF6450

Is there a way to force HDMI like on the pi. Obviously way different with bios vs config.
[hr]
Quite a pain in arse as well with tv wall mounted and the painstaking cable management i implemented. Lol.
But to clarify i tried it in multiple HDMI ports on TV and witha couple cables.
[hr]
I tried turning HDMI control via amp on and off as well as i saw that on some post as solution.
Quite odd that it works flawless with OE 5 through 6.03. Been running fine for couple years.
I know the PC is getting dated...

Ah. Makes sense. I will follow the instructions tonight and report back. Thanks!!

Quote from David1977

Do it as following:

- power down the HTPC
- connect the HTPC directly to the TV
- be sure, the TV is switched on and you are on the correct source
- power up your HTPC

Normally you should get a screen. If not, don´t power down or reboot or anything else...just SSH in and get me

Code

xrandr

and a new debuglog:

Code

pastebinit /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log

The difference is:

"Thanks David. I did do this. Both with LE and OE versions after they were up and running."

If you connect an already running HTPC to a TV it probably won´t get the EDID and therefore you don´t get a screen. So the HTPC has to be ALWAYS the last device in chain that has to be powered on. So please try it again the way I explained above.

If you have a screen, please get me xrandr and the kodi logfile, too.

What we will do after you have a screen?....we will hardcode your EDID to your HTPC. So it won´t need the info from the connected device anymore. Probably we need openelec for this, as we might need the EDID from the Pio. But let´s get a screen first with the TV directly connected to your machine

Still no dice w/ TV. I can see the DELL splash screen w/ bios/boot options but nothing else.
I deleted the .kodi folder to fresh install OE 6.03 and then dropped the LE 6.90 .tar file in.
I have hooked the directly into HDMI2 (the hdmi one port has the 4k ability so thought maybe the HDMI2 would make a difference, nope). The xrandr is still showing HDMI disconnected.
I attached xrandr directly in the forum (is that ok or upload to gdrive?)
Here is my log w/ debug logging turned on:
Debug Log

Let me know what you think? I would very much like to keep the HDMI feeding through my stereo if possible. I read a little about downloading the EDID from the vsx-60 but couldn't figure out exactly how or to apply it.

Thanks again for all the help and troubleshooting this with me.

Puuuh...tbh, I'm out of ideas now. Let me sleep over it...maybe I might have an idea tomorrow.

I guess I'm stuck w/ OE 6.03... There has to be some reason or driver support or something.
It works like a charm so I wonder what changed??

Any other DEVS out there w/ ideas or pointers?

Could I get the EDID off right now as I have OE 6.03 up and running and then code that into the LE 6.95 build. Advanced settings or config file.
There must be a way. Going to post over at the Kodi Forum maybe get some other ideas.

Thanks David.
I saw that... Was thinking of trying that but was unsure since was not getting anything at all from xrandr when connected to TV on LE6.90
I would assume I could create the EDID from my current build then just drop the Firmware folder in new location w/ SMB and mount it to boot w/ new build like instructions say...

Will try this tomorrow night and report back. Thanks again!

I GOT IT TO WORK! Thanks for the help David1977!
The Custom EDID file worked great following the instructions for INTEL on OE wiki. I first created the firmware folder in .config folder from with the OE 6.03 build and then configured to boot w/ it after update using tar file.

That JARVIS splash screen was AWESOME!

So here a few things if it would help anyone out or identify what the problem is w/ build reading my EDID as I'm sure my Pioneer AVX-60 is putting one out since OE 6.03 can read it. not sure all were necessary. If something else could be helpful let me know.
Log w/ Debug on
xrandr
dmesg

I will post this at my other post on the kodi official forums as well just for anyone looking for help...
