    Hello escalade

    Newbie and complete noob here.

    Please be gentle with me because I might just be the dumbest person here.

    I've tried reading the thread a bit but frankly can't figure out what's being said

    I tried to install the latest build on a OLD x86 PC. (Dell Optiplex)

    I used to run LibreElec on it but for some weird reason LibreElec refused to run Retroarch (would crash immediately I tried to enter a setting menu).

    NB: I can probably run whatever commands I am required to run or do whatever to solve this I just don't know them


    (Problem 1)

    Installation of your generic build on this PC went fine.

    When I tried to boot it, I ended up with a blank screen after the RetroElec splash screen.

    I normally connect this PC to a TV via a DVI to HDMI adapter. It worked fine with vanilla LibreElec

    I tried using a VGA cable instead and found it was booting to the Kodi Desktop just fine.

    It just wasn't giving a display via the HDMI

    Problem is the VGA gives a lower resolution and the color is quite washed out for some reason I don't know.


    (Problem 2)

    I use a USB wifi stick on this PC and it worked ok on LibreElec

    On your build it isn't detected.

    I tried running lsusb in terminal on the desktop.

    It is recognized as a RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Adapter.

    Running modprobe rtl8188EUS results:

    modprobe: FATAL : Module rtl8188EUS not found in directory /lib/modules/5.8.0-rc5


    How can I get the Wifi stick to work?
