    Hey.


    Sorry sorry, yes it was a generic image. i took the wrong one from my disk :(

    Its fixed now, here are the logs from the right image. LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-13.0-nightly-20250814-24480eb.img.gz

    LOGS:

    https://paste.libreelec.tv/teaching-viper.log

    https://paste.libreelec.tv/prime-aardvark.log

    I can see loading "xorg" and then blank screen with the systemd.unit=graphical.target added

    My info before was on "run" on usb stick=endless reboots.

    Problem Solved!

    Jesus mother f... I looked in the kodi log i uploaded and it didnt detect my nvidia card, after some investigation it seems that the Z890 chipset has a fault, in some circumstances you need to "disable" internal graphics in bios to have the "operating system" detect that there is a external graphics card in the motherboard.

    Jesus... i disabled internal grahpics and voila libreelec acts normal and functions .. woho.


    Sorry to have bothered you guys with this. Thank you! for all your clues

    Regards

    Try adding systemd.unit=graphical.target to the end of the APPEND line in /flash/syslinux.cfg. This will prevent kodi from starting (and thus the reboot loop) and get you to a point where you can ssh in and create logs.

    so long,

    Hey

    Tried it now and got in to ssh.

    there is no Xorg.0.log yet as it wasn't started yet.

    I looked in the boot log and cant see anything useful, what i can see in lspci it detects the card ok.

    First double-check that the rtx3070 still works with your old system using the latest nightly build - the nvidia driver was updated a few days ago so it'd be good to know if that has some play in it.

    To prevent LE from rebooting if kodi doesn't start run touch /storage/.config/safemode.disable - then you can simply ssh in and run pastekodi to create logs.

    so long,

    Hias

    Everything works on my old z590 with rtx3070 with latest nightly build.

    Tested the 3070 in my main pc with z890 and same thing there, endless reboots after it tries to start xorg/kodi. tried all the way back to 0701 nightly, it dont even invoke safe mode.

    Funny thing, i tested the 20250225 nightly and wow, that one worked in my main pc and the other new z890 w 3070. thats the one that worked before the whole nvidia "blank" screen problem that you guys managed to sort out, its in this thread too.

    I dunno how to go from here, i cant even get any log from the endless reboots nightlys, it boot right up to "starting xorg" then blank screen and after about 10s it shows screen again with "stopping services" as it goes into reboot.

    Ohh, i didnt know it came with 2 kernel options for cards and now i get it why you guys use the one that support more models :)

    Still it would boot on my 3070 and 1080, maybe there is something fishy with my new motherboard, i have another z890 pc as my main pc and im going to test the 3070 there.

    LE 12.2 and 13.0 have dropped the legacy nvidia driver, and the number of ‘newer’ cards in active use is tiny (we have been telling people not to use nvidia cards for a decade; people have listened) so we may simply drop nvidia support completely and have a more simple life. It will suck to do that, but as nvidia continues to either ignore standards or implement them with some catch that eliminates LE use, so be it.

    Sorry shewitt, you have been saying this for years heheh

    And i know thats the case but i still try to renew my components for kodi use aswell as for my main pc.

    Would be happy to get z890 chipset and my 3070 to work :)

    Why the Legacy build?

    Try the Generic, you should be able to run that processor fine without a graphics card.

    Ive tried intel graphics before and the quality is not that good compared to nvidia

    because it wont start xorg i suspect might be something to do with the 890 chipset/pcie drivers etc, it wont even start with old nvidia cards

    Hey Devs!

    It me again :)

    Trying to error check a new system that will not boot libreelec nightly.

    Asus z890, intel ultra 7 265k, 64gb memory. (Yes i know its wayyyyy overkill hehe)

    Tried latest legacy nightly and it stalls on starting xorg/kodi (ive tried my rtx3070 that works in my z590 system and my new rtx5070 plus ive tried an old gtx1080) also tested to put the 5070 in my old system but that fails because even though latest nightly has the latest nvidia drivers (do you unflag newer nvidia cards when building your images?

    All with the same result.

    Is there a debug version that do not auto reboot and generates log files on the usb stick that i can use to see whats going on?

    Best regards.

  • [x86-64] Black Screen with Generic-Legacy Nightlies

    Quote from chewitt

    nVidia support is currently broken in LE13 nightlies and might take a while to fix as nobody on staff has anything to-hand that can run the offending 570.xx drivers: we have been telling users to avoid nVidia GPU purchases for years and it seems we have heeded our own advice. It probably needs a motivated user to figure out the issue and send a fix. If the card is also supported by the older 550.xx driver you can use older nightlies.

    Hey

    New nvidia driver

    Driver Version: 570.153.02
    Release Date: Mon May 19, 2025

    Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications and compositors to stall when using NVIDIA as a PRIME Display Offload sink ("Reverse PRIME"), potentially resulting in a black screen.

    Might fix it i hope because im also waiting for LE13 generic-legacy nightlys to work again :)

    Hey HiassofT

    I think a new bug was made when the nvidia fix solved the "blank screen"

    I noticed it yesterday and tried a couple of things this morning. (tested 20250227, your build and 20250321)

    the bug is not there in nightly 20250227 but is there after the nvidia fix.

    Bug description: Whatever refresh rate you set in the gui, the gui its self does not use it, it uses 40hz always. when watching media its uses the refresh rate ive set (59.94) Ive tried other refresh rates but the gui do not follow it.

    I noticed it because if i bring up my LG tv menu its very sluggish, i have "game optimizer" on and it shows 40hz.

    I dont know if its a simple fix i can fix my self or a dev has to fix it. anyone can reproduce it by booting "live" from a nightly after the nvidia pr fix

    Edit: Pics added

    Best regards

    palle_c could you please test with this image:
    https://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/libr…-3917e30.img.gz

    I've fixed a couple more issues and hope it should be fine now.

    so long,

    Hias

    Hey.

    Now it gets to the gui, tested "live" first. :)

    Installed it and it works but now samba, ssh and ftp do not work, all those connections times out.

    Seems to be a bit buggy on samba, ssh and ftp, rebooted again and now they work

    Thanks for fixing the nvidia driver problem :) I will continiu with your image until legacy nightlys is back online again after your fix :)

    Quick question: now my hdd light keeps blinking all the time, even when idle, can it be some background task? (it stopped now after about 30min) must have been some task heheh
