I've reverted back to LE 21.2. I'll stick with that until Kodi v13 appears. If it was affecting other users, it would be worth following up but not just for one device.

Okay, here's what I have discovered:

Clean install of 21.3 Generic freezes within a minute of booting

Clean install of 21.3 Generic-Legacy freezes within a minute of booting

Clean install of 21.3 Generic (latest nightly) freezes within a minute of booting

Clean install of v13 Generic (latest nightly) seems to be happy (so far)

The problem I have is that I am using a remote MariaDB. I updated kodi-headless to 21.3 (with the intent of then updating the mini-pc's). It has created a new database. I need to have all Kodi devices running the same version for them to use the same database. I don't seem to be able to upgrade the mini-pc's to 21.3 and I don't seem to be able to downgrade kodi-headless to 21.2 (not available). As v13 has not been released yet, there is no kodi-headless version for it.

I don't know if the problem is an incompatibility with the Gemini Lake chipset? There doesn't appear to be anyone else having problems with the update, so I guess I'm just unlucky.

Generally yes, but the old X11 can sometimes fix issues like this.

If the clean install doesn't work, I'll try it. Thanks

Enable SSH and see if you can access the device to run “pastekodi” and share the URL or perhaps just “dmesg > dmesg.log” or “journalctl > system.log” to dump info to disk so that post-downgrade you can do “cat *.log | paste” and share URLs. In short, we need to see some logs to have any idea what the issue might be.

I don't think it gets as far as connecting to the network. I tried to connect with ssh but not available.

I will try a clean install rather than upgrade, see what happens

Same with Generic-Legacy?

Haven't tried. Been using Generic up until now. I thought Legacy was for NVidia cards?

I have two GK3 Pro mini PC's. They have been running every version of Libreelec from Matrix to Omega 21.2.

I did an update to 21.3 on one PC and it doesn't like it. It hangs at the splash screen and after a while shows Hard and Soft Lockups. Just in case it had become corrupted, I undated the second PC too. The behaviour was the same. I have downgraded them back to 21.2.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

CPU: Intel Celeron J4125

GPU: Intel UHD Graphics GPU

Memory: 8GB

Storage: 256GB SSD

Where/how did you disable it?

Doesn't seem to be an option for it on my router (TP-Link AX1800). Is there a way to disable it in the adapter settings in Libreelec?

My little Celeron-based box running a recent Nexus nightly has a RTL8821CE and runs reasonably reliably. Sometimes I have to restart as it fails to connect and the list of available wifi networks is empty. Always connects after restart (although if I refresh the network list they will disappear again.)

The RTL8821 driver has been in the nightlies for quite a while.

Thanks for solving this problem. I used your instructions to do the same for my G20BTS remote. However; "70-local-keyboard.hwdb" didn't work for me so I added the lines to the existing "99-osmcrf.hwdb". The README file in that folder states that "

your files must be named 99-xxxxx.hwdb", so I don't know if that's why it didn't like it? I am on 11 nightly (Dec1).

It's this one, if anyone else need to do the same

I got the same problem with this remote (BPR1 model, simplest one):

Any luck?

Nope. I asked about it over on the Kodi forum in the thread for the Key Mapper add-on. No response (so far).

Hi guys,

I have searched and found a few similar threads but no solutions.

A couple of years back I bought an G20S RF remote for my LE box (PC/Generic) and it works perfectly. Recently, I bought a couple more. Also G20 models but "Pro" (more buttons/backlight/bluetooth). The new ones have an issue with the "OK" button not being recognised.

If I go into Keymap Editor, it does register the OK button but it is not the same five-digit format as the rest of the keys. So, Global/Navigation/Select Item is set to 016839168 but doesn't work!

Apparently, this is something to do with the remote sending a "KEY_ENTER" instead of "KEY_OK"?

If Kodi is registering the button press there must surely be a way to map it to "Select"?

As others have found, If I turn on the airmouse, the OK button functions normally (but I find it difficult to control ).

Any advice would be much appreciated!

You could try copying the EDID file from the TV/monitor via the getedid script, here is how: Custom EDID [LibreELEC.wiki]

Thank you!! Worked perfectly.

I understand you mean by "force" that HDMI should output always even if no device is connected on boot.

If so i guess your only chance is via BIOS settings (if you cant find any , try to update BIOS).

Exactly. Much more succinctly put. Guess it can't be done at a software level then.

Hi, I'm new to Libreelec and have been trying to work out how to force HDMI on a Celeron mini-pc.

All searches seem to bring up the same thing: add a couple of lines to config.txt. I think I'm right in thinking that this is only for Raspberry Pi?

How do you do the same for generic Libreelec?

Many thanks!
