Does that mean that this fix wil be available in the next LE 12 stable build? I'm not familiar with how LE development normally goes. Should i run the next LE12 stable build when it is released, or run the nightly in which both ec1000s and ax200 are working? Or should i wait until LE13 is being released (is there a date planned for the le13 release?)
In the latest nightly, the ax200 seems to work pretty good. For those who may need it: the bluetooth part of the card isn't working. LE doesn't detect a bluetooth adapter. This doesnt affect me, since i don't use bluetooth devices. But for those who do please be aware that this maybe needs fixing.
I booted the same nightly as yesterday and indeed, it seems the wireless ax200 card is detected. But as soon as i make it connect, LE crashes, the libreelec bootscreen reappears and after a while the gui shows.
Thank you. I try to understand: the dwmac-intel module will make both my ec1000s nic and ax200 wireless work? They share the same underlying "problem"?
When i installed this minipc with win10 i noticed it took a LOT of extra intel drivers (aprox 500mbyte of drivers for windows) to make it all work. A lot of extra intel devices in device manager, most of which i'm not certain what they do. And most are by default not recognised by win10, they all need extra drivers and firmware. I was surprised (in a positive way) that i was able to boot LE at all on this minipc, with all these unknown intel devices . Are all modern intel based minipc's like this, or is it just this one? I'm more used to older hardware.
The ec1000s is a USB to Ethernet adapter using the r8152 chip. I can see that in your dmesg.
What do the following commands show
lsusb
ifconfig
lshw -c network # part of system-tools addon
No, it is not. I'm sorry for the confusion. My minipc has an onboard intel ec1000s network controller. This is not an usb ethernet adapter. Since my minipc have both and ec1000s nic and intel ax200 wireless, and both dont work in LE, i'm temporarily using an usb ethernet nic just to have some sort of network access. Otherwise i wouldnt be able at all to access the minipc and therefore wouldnt have any means of collecting log files.
mglae Can these instructions be updated to the current situation? I'm trying to get an ax200 to work in LE buts its not working. The firmware download gives me an error.
As a workaround im currently using an usb3 ethernet nic, but it would be nicer to just use the onboard nic. The ec1000s works fine under win10 with the appropriate driver.
Well, i've been able to narrow this thing down a bit. The thing is: i have a "second" media pc, a little gigabyte n3350 (intel graphics) based "nuc" for backup. Didnt even think about it until tonight.
I've updated this little box in steps From 11.0.1 to 11.0.6, which ran fine. Then in one step to 12.0.1. And to my surprise: everything seems to be fine. This n3350 box is also connected to the same avr. In LE the audio output device neatly says "HDA Intel PCH, PIO SC-LX81 on HDMI #0" . Now this is how thing should be. The box runs the generic (not legacy) release and i see nothing wrong with it.
So i'm wondering what this tells us? I'm no expert "but", for me the big difference between these two pc's is intel graphics vs nvidia. Could it be that there's something messed up in the nvidia driver for the gt1030 in my main htpc?
Or is this a wayland / x11 thing? (although x11 runs fine on 11.0.6).
I have the feeling the panasonic tv in the log was from the previous session where the htpc was directly connected to the tv. I don't think the panasonic tv was actually detected in any way when the htpc was connected to the avr and 12.0.1 was booted. In 11.0.6, when the gui is shown through the avr, the log for the hdmi port says "PIO SC-LX81 on HDMI #0", where the sc-lx81 is my avr.
I don't have the possibility to run separate hdmi lines, my gt1030 only has 1 hdmi and 1 dvi output. Also, these are in a very cramped space, i can't connect a second cable without demolishing half my cabinet.
My avr is always switched off, i don't keep any device there in standby mode. This saves power and is a lot safer.
I got the htpc directly connected again. After booting from usb key, when i enter "get edid create" in LE 12.0.1 the screens flips black, then shows a mousepointer for some time and after that the gui reappears.
After that, when i boot 12.0.1 (from usb key) connected to the avr, it again boots to a black screen. But i was able to fetch a kodi.log this time:

And a reboot from internal storage with 11.0.6 gives the normal gui. I've noticed that in LE 11.0.6, in the system - settings - audio settings, under audio output device, it neatly says "ALSA: HDA Nvidia, PIO SC-LX81 on HDMI #0", where sc-lx81 is my avr. This makes me think that 11.0.6 does detect my avr perfectly, even the hdmi audio passthrough works great, and from LE 12 on there is something wrong?
