I've tried to compile your build after the bump of xfsprogs to 4.15.1 but it fails on my Linux Mint VM while Arch works fine. When I copy the source to another directory & it compiles fine so I guess all dependencies are installed. The older version 4.14. also compiles without errors. Is there a way to disable scrub? Package.mk looks like it isn't needed at all?

Maybe you have a hint for me? The scrub program fails:

gmake[2]: *** No rule to make target '-lrt', needed by 'xfs_scrub'. Stop.

gmake[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

[CC] xfs_scrub.o

gmake[1]: *** [include/buildrules:35: scrub] Error 2

gmake[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Full output:

Well... nope thx thats not worth it. The symlinks are pretty fine then since it's a one time thing to create them

Dolphin doesn't start, screen flickers and ES comes up again. I've startet dolphin per shh and I got this output:

>phoenix:~ # dolphin-emu

>dolphin-emu: error while loading shared libraries: libLLVM-5.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My test build works and starts dolphin per command line.

BTW:

Is it possible to fix this missing lib problem permanent? Or is this something the TVheadend devs have to deal with?

Can you bump the dolphin version? The "wii system menu" isn't working after you leave a game and just stays black.

This happens in the dolphin builds in your last two builds:

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20180226.tar avx

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20180218.tar generic

but dolphin build e137ff... in

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20180212.img.gz works fine. The latest dolphin version git b289be4 / 5.0-6384 also.

Thx for the information.

About the AVX patches -> you've included all of them or just cherry picked some for your nuc?

GitHub - clearlinux-pkgs/linux

Btw the new spotify starting scripts work fine. As far as i understand you changed to systemd for executing the script instead of directly use kodi for this purpose?

Anyone got a clue how to close the "about" window of dolphin? The windows version features a "cross" that allows me to close the screen but it's missing in the linux build.

Maybe installing those libs and tools can solve your problem?

sudo apt-get install build-essential libc6-dev libc6-dev-i386

sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib

sudo apt-get install g++-multilib

14.04 - fatal error: sys/cdefs.h: No such file or directory| - Ask Ubuntu

works fine with these builds:

the 2400g processor should support AVX so try these builds as they feature linux kernel 4.16

Linux 4.15 Is Set To Sail Today With AMDGPU DC, Zen Temperature Monitoring, RISC-V - Phoronix

escalade sure I'll try it, it's the new generic build?

So you're staying atm at kernel 4.14.x?

I've reverted the changes, made a new "old" build and well there wasn't much to find in /var/log/spotify.log just one line:

"Sending action: RunScript(/usr/bin/audio-suspend.py)"

So it looks like spotify won't start at all. But when I use the script after adding muteonly I get the following log:

Beside the DBUS stuff thats literally the same output spotify delivers after starting per ssh. So I don't knwo what's wrong, maybe stopping kodi stops also the execution of the script? Your's is working fine as long as I run it from the console but it won't work from kodi menu.

This behavior started after a clean installation on both of my x86 htpcs in mid of december so some weeks after your last changes. Looks like others had the same problem. Is your NUC running fine with a fresh install or did you "just" upgrade everytime? Anyway it's pretty strange.

Does your spotify still work? I can't start it from kodi but it works fine when I start it at the console.

I've compiled two builds that included the recent spotify bash script and the version you've merged before. Both won't start spotify but leave me with a black screen. Putty & "kodifreeze.sh unfreeze" solves this problem but I guess there's something wrong with the script.

Then I tried the pretty old one and this script works fine for me:

So as I mentioned I'm no programmer so I need "a little" help to figure out what's wrong

EDIT:

maybe not pretty but this does the trick for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've forked your repo and try to cherry pick usefull stuff and kernel 4.15.2 is up and running so atm I'm updating/optimizing the kernel config file.

You've been updating it too and added

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/storage/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel/image/initramfs.cpio"

Now I was wondering what's the right path to include this file on my system since this line points to the build directory of the kernel.

CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="external-firmware"

So do I have to change the INITRAMFS to something like this? Because this would point to the build directory in my user directory.

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="~/libreelec/5schatten/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel/image/initramfs.cpio"

Quote from slacker666

ok, thx for the info.

By the way, is there any chance that you'll upgrade Emulationstation? the version used (v2.0.1) is rather old now.

this version looks pretty recent to me, anyone knows what's new?

What about a newer dolphin version? Are there any special dependencies that prevent a recent build? Maybe this speeds up some games too.

TL:DR you should activate KPTI and use kernel 4.15 since there is not really a noticeable performance impact while using dolphin.

try a diffrent version by changing

glibc 2.26 should work as vanilla uses the same version

what distribution do you use for compiling purposes? LE suggests ubuntu 16.04.xx LTS and I'm currently using debian 9.

Well to be honest I'm just a mechanical engineer so not much into software development but it's not that hard to set up a VM and debian server for compiling purposes so I'm gonna do it.

I don't know if you ever heard about the so called low base effect but it's pretty the same. Still you achieve 126,6fps and thats roughly 10% less but still more than most screens can handle. But in Witcher 3 on ultra settings. Even if there would be a drop of 10% on dolphin I would switch to NTSC & 50Hz and I'm fine.

If you feel bossed around by someone asking if its possible or makes a suggestion then I'm not sure if you should publish such a custom distribution at all. I'm (we're) not demanding, claiming or command you to do something we just ask for usefull features. And hell yes since a browser is included and most of us use third party add-ons it would be usefull to activate the patches. I'm fine anyway since my skylake board got it's microcode patches, my rpi's are not affected and my apollo lake htpc does not use the browser but others do and are screwed if they check out the wrong page.
