i think you missed the part where I HAD ALREADY DONE THAT AND XORG-NVIDIA-LEGACY.CONF WAS STILL THERE
REMEMBER HOW I SAID THE DRIVER .KO WASNT EVEN THERE

MULTIPLE TIMES

yeaaaahh... its called readdddiiiinngggg.

see, as an adult, i can troubleshoot things but at some point it becomes a basement dwelling coder with no life's job to fix it.
i had to find, cat and grep through all the build files for mentions of xorg-nvidia-legacy.conf and comment them out/ remove them manually. dirty as fudge, but it worked. also. i expected the right libglx to be loaded by xorg-radeon.conf. which it did... so yea. great LE build. jerk.
you make one popular libreelec build and you get a bit of an attitude huh.

The thing is you think you're able to troubleshoot things... instead of asking someone who knows how to build LE without Nvidia drivers you start to "cat and grep through" all day instead of altering a single line:

GRAPHIC_DRIVERS="r300 r600 radeonsi i915 i965 nvidia nvidia-legacy vmware virtio"

https://github.com/libreelec/libreelec.tv/blob/10e5dba2acfc339088208ad5cdc14bdaba312a60/distributions/libreelec/options#l138

About the rest... well you should think twice about your job if your wage is "high enough" to use hardware probably ready for a scrapyard.

Maybe the basement dwelling coder stuff is exactly what suits your needs?

Anyway why still bother to use LE... just add a generic project path to OSMC and you're fine.

At the moment yes, it's the main HTPC.

The TV (LG WebOS) is auto configured as "Intel, Integrated cfx, PC general", nothing changed manually.

Well then it's probably less trouble I'm curious how this device runs side by side with other devices like a STB or FireTV

5schatten thanks for failing to solve my problem o superior one. your dank memes prove to me and everyone here how 1337 you are.

btw since you STILL cant seem to read
I HAVE A JOB. LIBRELECS PURPOSE IS CONVENIENCE IS IT NOT? taking hours out of your day to compile libreelec on a shitty pentium or i3 at your job is NOT CONVENIENT. DUH thats why i came here ASKING HOW TO UNSQUASH THE SYSTEM FILE not how to fix anything. the whole silly /storage/.config thing is just ridiculous. if osmc was X86 best believe i would have had this solved, seeing as they dont set up their distro like a goddamn live cd

I FIXED IT I DO NOT NEED YOUR UNHELPFUL ADVICE ANY LONGER KTHX

Well you fixed nothing but you did what I suggested days ago. You've built LE without the Nvidia driver packages and surprisingly it works now...

Just wondering... after you would have unsquashed the image & deleted a single conf file you really think it works? I'm curious how you tell the system to load the correct libglx.so afterwards.... There's a reason why we suggested to build an image without the Nvidia drivers. Anyway LE is pretty convenient & easy to use but fails to cover all hardware configurations out in the wild.

But I totally understand you would be able to fix osmc that doesn't even feature any devices beside RPi, Vero or an ancient AppleTV because of 133t sk11z and stuff but sorry again this is LE and it works pretty fine for 99,9% of the userbase. If you decide to play with >10 year old hardware you have to invest some time to iron out your problems.

Setting up a VM, installing Linux Mint, cloning the repo & and compile it just takes some disk space & time. IMHO that's a pretty good deal for a free multimedia software solution.

A week later...

Well, surprisingly I have had no issues this far, everything I use seems to work OK.

Installation was quick, I copied in my stored, pre-configured xml-files (advancedsettings, sources and passwords) and 5 mins later I was ready to play!

From my point of view and with my environment at home, everything works very well and performance wise nothing to complain!

I guess they deliver the boards with updated firmware nowadays so most quirks are ironed out Is this your main device? So when you switch on the TV it's input is set to the htpc?

ok new issue how does one configure the dolphin emulator to use controller

hit "ESC" quit the game & check out this index.php?title=configuring_controllers

Quote from Ae3NerdGod

it works fine now, you a$$hat

That really hit me hard, only memes can express my feelings. Anyway I guess you're fine now.

PS: The kernel identifies a Nvidia board [ 0.000000] Nvidia board detected. Ignoring ACPI timer override. so it's not unlikely some pci device id still points to your C51 GPU and since the pci id is not found in the nvidia driver it tries to load the nvidia-legacy driver.

Since you mention Linux Mint -> this distribution boots AFAIK with nouveau and you can use the "Driver Manager" to install proprietary Nvidia driver afterwards. LE is an easy to use "embedded" minimal Kodi distribution that supports out of the box up to 12 year old NV cards ( Geforce 8 series and newer) by vendor drivers but not your nForce stuff. The way how LE deals with NV cards works for >30k users and your setup is an edge case not more and not less and I totally understand that nobody wants to refactor the whole NV driver routine for a single setup of an absolutely outdated piece of hardware.

And since it's noob friendly to compile LE yourself... why didn't you do this at the beginning? And judging you by your name & manners... where is your pull request that fixes this "bug" and solves all problems? Anyway I'm too old for some childish flamewar stuff. So have fun with LE.

check kodi.log there is an error with passthrough this is why it doesnt work properly

and yes the monitor is also sound

It's a warning about PulseAudio which Kodi does not use as default output, it hooks up to your ALSA device.

08:23:28.966 T:140029264090880 WARNING: Pulseaudio module module-allow-passthrough not loaded - opening PT devices might fail

What's the state of your "Enabled passthrough" setting?

Quote from strange

hey guys i installed remix yesterday and i really love what you've done with bit but i have some problems one being that any video file with audio other than 2.0 audio just gives me a wall of sound that i cant mute or adjust volume on, secondly i cant get audio to work in emulators i edited the asound.conf according to aplay -L output but no luck attached kodi.log, asound.conf and aplay -L output

I guess you're using this monitor iiyama for video output? Looks like you're using device 1 for emulator sound what's basically device 2 since enumerating starts at 0.

Do you use this monitor for sound output too? If so then try hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=0 in your asound.conf it's HDMI #1 so basically the second connector, or is it connected to an avr?

I'm not sure about your video playback issues. If you play files with stereo sound you can adjust the volume but if you play i.e. DTS or DD 5.1 something you can't?

Could you check your audio settings in Kodi and compare them to this quick start guide?

tl;dr

lets travel back in time:

NVIDIA

Finally we found some supported nForce devices...

We conclude even though the package is called legacy it's not a "support-all-old-af-nvidia-stuff" package. You would need Linux display driver 304.137 but this likely would not run because of reasons (Xorg server 1.20.x or Kernel 4.18.x). Your file 06_varlog.log contains the Xorg.log which tells you

[ 19.754] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) so it's not about missing modules it's about "Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found" because you know old-af.

I asked for the system specs because some linux guru guys in this forum may know a trick how to disable this Nforce chipsets but as you said you already know what's going on and... stuff.

And since you already found out what's the problem you just need some man pages. Well....

this page:

https://openelec.tv/documentation/…nf#amd-graphics

literally states:

Quote

When you can't select a desired resolution you may need to create a custom xorg.conf for you system.

Before you proceed make sure you know what your doing, using an incorrectly formatted xorg.conf can cripple your system and should be avoided.

To use a custom xorg.conf you simply have to access the configfiles samba share and save a text file name <strong>xorg.conf</strong>

<strong><br></strong>

If your machine doesn't boot after you have done this. Simply delete the file and reboot.

Please select one of the following xorg.conf based on which GPU your machine has.

And there is a example conf file for AMD grapahics:

https://openelec.tv/documentation/…nf#amd-graphics

als I linked an Arch linux wiki page:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/amdgpu#xorg_configuration

that literally states:

Section "Device"     
Identifier "AMD"     
Driver "amdgpu" EndSection

So in fact you could have concluded how to alter the example conf and what you have to change to tell xorg what driver it should use. So it's not enough to link you some man pages and indeed you're asking for step by step instructions in a pretty... well let's call it special way.

Anyway I guess if we waste your time by demanding some simple basics like log files or system specs to help you with your problem I guess you also understand if we're not in mood to waste our time by solving this stuff.

hi there!

previously had a working milhouse build installed. I tried to install your RR from scratch via USB stick. Installs fine, boots fine, but splashscreen stays visible, even though i can hear the gui sounds when using the remote. I keep looking at the LE RR splashscreen.....

Where do i start to troubleshoot this?

Asrock J3355M, hdmi TV, MCE remote, USB keyboard. nothing else attached.

thanks!

Does SMB come up? Can you grab the logs in the SMB Logfiles share? Which Milhouse build did you use & which beta of mine? I use a ASRock > J3455-ITX myself which is quite similar and this runs fine beside the usual LSPcon quirks.

Quote from Ae3NerdGod

I mean I literally need to remove one file and from what I've read if you ask anything about unsquashing the filesystem on this forum you get like shunned immediately and or a vague copy-paste about how you might be able to use .config to do what you want

Well if you're refering to this xorg issue x86_64  chewitt told you what to do. Your frankenrig fails to boot because it tries to use the nForce IGP with the legacy driver what won't work. If you create a custom xorg.conf file it has priority over the nvidia config files. In fact you could also compile a build for yourself disable all Nvidia drivers or replace the nvidia legacy driver with this version NVIDIA that probably still supports your old hardware.... but I guess this old driver will fail to run along Xorg 1.20.x so in the end try the custom xorg.conf.

And since you're talking about beeing shunned or "vague copy-paste" config.... have you read my start post? You've supplied any log files? You've told us what mainboard you use? No? Well yeah maybe that's the reason nobody could tell you exactly what to do.

Have a xorg start problem with a frakenrig I'm working on. It's got an onboard Nvidia 6100 that's trying to load xorg-nvidia-legacy.conf, even though its not enabled nor shows up in lspci, and I have an AMD hd7570 installed. Any way to fix this without compileing my own librelec build? PS also happens in official and Escalade builds

Does the official LE 9.0 alpha build run with this config? What kind of board do you use? You've disabled the IGP in your bios? Maybe it's possible to blacklist some kernel modules from loading. Building LE from source without the NV driver could be an option too.

Quote from Morphy

I think PSP is broken in latest release? Got this in the log:

sh: /usr/bin/retroarch-nokms.start: not found

I have no clue but I guess it will be supported if it's made by the Raspberry guys.

Quote from psycmos

Thanks a lot! It works! Odroid C2 boots ok. I will give you feedback soon and buy you one coff!!

Thx! Well any reports how it works?

Quote from andersos

Would the new Raspberry Pi TV Hat work in LE?

Introducing the Raspberry Pi TV HAT - Raspberry Pi

delete the "-nokms.start" in es_systems.cfg -> this nokms start script shouldn't be shipped with arm builds

Quote from Morphy

I see you've reworked the scripts to start ES which has broken my custom shortcuts in my Kodi skin. Can you let me know how to start ES from a custom shortcut? I did have XBMC.RunScript(emulationstation-frontend.py)

EDIT: I figured it, you changed the name of the script to frontend-emualtionstation.py)

If you run into such problems first check the FAQ -> if I change something "under the hood" I change the FAQ too so it's less confusing

I've change the names to have a unified name structure & now I don't ship arm build spotify or chrome python scripts anymore what just makes no sense.

Quote from psycmos

Hi 5schatten.
Thanks a lot for your reply.

I tested meson64_odroidc2.dtb renaming it to dtb.img and not works too.
The generic S905 doesn't start.

I think i need one specific build for Odroid C2

Display More

Try the Odroid C2 image in the download section.

Beta 11 is online:

• updated to latest LE9.0 upstream
• updated Generic kernel to 4.18.14 / RPi to 4.18.12
• updated vulkan-loader to 1.1.87
• added alsamixer -> adjust your alsa sound output with a graphical interface
• updated several libretro-cores
• updated dolphin & citra
• fixed fbdev for S905/S905X devices -> HDMI & 720p resolution should work now
• added tigervnc for generic systems -> systemctl start tigervnc pw: libreelec
• fixed some refresh rate settings -> SCUMMVM should not have crackling sound after playing Atari or Amiga games anymore
• several under-the-hood-reworks (recreated lr-cores | use custom SDL2-git | reworked start scripts | adjusted project specific scripts | unified frontend & app python script names | updated addon dependencies | [...] )

Quote from Jocke.Sve

Hmmmm, thanks for the input 5schatten !

Maybe I just buy one and add 4GB and to use for Windows then as they are licensed with Win10Home ...

Well I tried Windows 10 or let's say I had to try it because I had to update the LSPCon firmware what's only possible in Windows 10 and they worked..."okayish"

Actually it runs LE9 too but for example I'm not able to switch from the STB to the HTPC even with a custom edid and after I applied the latest builds there is no sound output after a clean boot until you change the audio device once. I'm not sure if it's kernel or Kodi beta related but as I said this sucks especially if you compare it to my main HTPC a i3-6100 B150 chipset based system that's runs without flaws and is the same generation of hardware.

Quote from Jocke.Sve

Thank CvH , in this case I think I'll go for N4200 Mini PC's.

I can buy 2 for around 90€/each with 4GB + 64GB but without PS.

Used ~1 week at exhibition overseas (that's the reason for missing PS).

I use an ASRock > J3455-ITX as my secondary "full-size" HTPC and I would suggest to avoid the Apollo Lake platform. If it comes to features and speed they are quite good but the way Intel supllies the video signal is utterly crap because they need a LSPcon to convert a DP signal to HDMI. This chip is troublesome. AFAIK this is resolved in the successor generation so I would get a J5005 nuc regardless of a cheap priced J3455/jN4200.
