  • Change 100MB to 1GB on LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-12.0.1?

    Quote from chewitt

    You can use "ethtool" to read and set/force configurations on NICs, but if the connection is not auto-detecting 1Gb speeds correctly the root problem is more likely to be hardware related (cables, ports, etc.) than software. In my professional experience, forcing NIC speeds is rarely the solution and often causes more issues than it solves.

    Hello again... Now I have SSH and received this from my ethernet card. I googled your tip and didn't find exactly how to use ethtool, so I ran these 2 codes to get some info.
    1. ethtool eth0
    2. lspci | grabbed Ethernet
    This is what it spit out, is there something I should change or is everything as it should be to max out the connection on my connection:

    07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411
    PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)


    Settings for eth0:

  • [x86-64] No HDMI Signal with LE 12.0.1

    Quote from dipswitch

    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 have reported this issue many times, and the only solution is to connect the tv directly to the pc and then another from the AVR directly to the pc for audio. That solved all my problems since 12.x updates.

  • Black screen after reboot with Iptv Simple Client

    Hi, I've run into a problem that I think is related to the Iptv Simple Client addon as it's happened 3-4 times now. Because when I have arranged the channels and channel groups and restart the computer, the picture is black even though I hear that it has started correctly. I've tried looking for a solution via SSH, but it's been easier to restore everything with this code:

    rm -rf .config .cache .kodi

    reboot

    Then I have restored kodi with a created restore point.

    Hope someone knows what this could be, so it's frustrating that it loses the EDID settings. Greetings Thore from Sweden

  • Reboot with power button.

    Quote from mglae

    Default settings are in /etc/systemd/logind.conf, the manual page is in /storage/.config/logind.conf.d/README.

    Code
    [Login]
HandlePowerKey=reboot

    Ok. So i need to create a README folder inside the logind.conf.d folder, and then add a new file? Should the filename be the same or should the .xml be named different? Thanks again for the fast answers...

  • Reboot with power button.

    Hi, I'm wondering how to change the function of the on/off button on my data chassis that I'm running Libreelec v 12 PC Genetic Legacy on? Want to be able to reboot by holding the button down as my wife can't SSH in if I'm not at home. Best regards Thore

  • Hdd loose partititions?x

    I did it as you suggested, i use a 4TB disc that i split in 4 equel parts(931gb). And then format the partititions to ext4. So now i am going to sleep while i transfer all the files. Thanks for all your help. And just one thought, strange that Windows not have ext4 as a format choice...

  • Hdd loose partititions?x

    Quote from chewitt

    There's probably something in Google if you look, but realistically there are only two options:

    a) Move data off the disk, change the filesystem type, move the data back.

    b) Shrink the NTFS partition, create an EXT4, start to shuttle the data from one to the other and progressively shrink one, expand the other, until all the data is moved, then delete the NTFS partition and expand EXT4 to 100%.

    Both will be rather slow .. depending on how full the disk(s) are.

    NB: No idea if there's an actual conversion routine. I wouldn't normally trust that kind of thing.

    Ok, I suspected that's what I have to do. Thanks for all help

  • Hdd loose partititions?x

    Quote from chewitt

    In the past exFAT and NTFS required "userspace" drivers that suffered from slow read/write performance. These days both of those filesystem types have native kernel drivers so performance isn't an issue. However both have reliability issues and NTFS notably can have issues that can only be corrected using chkdsk.exe on Windows. As such, the preferred format for Linux drives in LE is still ext4.

    Ok, thanks for the quick reply. I run my disks(around 10TB) with NTFS, as I suspected that it does not work with exfat if files are larger than 4GB. The format you mention (ext4), is there a good guide on how to convert it? Kind regards, Thore
