Quote from chewitt

Johpin can you share the system log too? .. Kodi dumps the environment debug there not to it's own log.

What is the name of the file and what is the path?

I found a new version of Nouveau-Legacy and had installed it already. Before reverting to the Nouveau version, which information do you need from Nouveau-Legacy?

Downgrading to mesa-21.3.5. (taken from Slackware, because 21.0.3. from LE 10.04 was not in the archive anymore) gave the same EGL error during building. The patches Slackware is using have not been applied.

After downloading the latest Nouveau tar file (22nd of January) and adding kodi.conf the following crash file appeared: https://paste.kodi.tv/uyazawigol.kodi

Boot paramers
More precisely the parameter I am looking for is a cheatcode and is used like a boot parameter, for example "from=", see https://www.slax.org/blog/18824-Rei…tcode-from.html . I prefer dual boot in stead of booting from another hard disk of pen drive. This is more a topic for "feature requests", but it should streamline the process in my case (BIOS is sometimes not very responsive).

EGL
I don't know if is a bug. Slackware 15.0 is using version 21.3.5 without problems. They have patched mesa, but I don't think for EGL, see https://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr…/source/x/mesa/ Kodi runs fine with gbm/gl

Images
40 minutes from scratch per image is very fast. Rebuilding without changes should take about 10 minutes for me. The results from your images:

Nouveau (gbm/gles):

pastecrash: https://paste.libreelec.tv/aware-catfish.log
kodi_crashllog: https://paste.kodi.tv/eqehowusip.kodi

Nouveau-legacy (x11/gl):
pastekodi: https://paste.libreelec.tv/steady-doberman.log
systemctl status xorg.service and journalctl -xeu xorg.service: https://paste.kodi.tv/podibezacu

BTW I could not upgrade from Nouveau to Nouveau-legacy via .update It gave an error about not being compatible. I upgraded manually by coping the KERNEL and SYSTEM files.

EDIT I tried gbm/gl and therfore I changed the file /$HOME/LibreELEC.tv/projects/Generic/devices/gbm/options:
 OPENGL="mesa", OPENGLES="no" and GRAPHIC_DRIVERS="nouveau"
During building I got the error ../meson.build:448:3: ERROR: Feature egl cannot be enabled: EGL requires DRI, Haiku, Windows or Android

Quote from mglae

With The JEOS LE only the required libs are build, therefore you have to change configuration to build the new lib.

Slackware is using mesa for opengl, see https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slac…03/#post6361995 . I have the impression LE is using the same (graphics/mesa/package.mk). I see in the configuration part of graphics/mesa/package.mk -Dopengl=true .

Unfortunately the building stopped at step 183 from 288 steps with the following error:
../meson.build:448:3: ERROR: Feature egl cannot be enabled: EGL requires DRI, Haiku, Windows or Android
A full log can be found at /home/john/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-Nouveau.x86_64-12.0-devel/build/mesa-24.0.9/.x86_64-libreelec-linux-gnu/meson-logs/meson-log.txt

meson-log.txt shows the first message at the end of the file and can be found in: https://paste.kodi.tv/eyakicejuv.kodi

I found in https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/…or-syslinux.cfg some boot parameters. Where could I find all boot parameters? I am looking for something like "from=/my_dir" for /storage/my_dir. I have the plan to test dual boot on a hard disk with a fresh installed OS to test, but I don't want all these directories from LE in my root directory "/" of Slackware.

mglae On Slackware64 15.0 I have built Kodi successfully with gbm/gl. I should like to try it for LE.

0. Undone my changes by git reset --hard
1. git checkout libreelec-12.0  => fine
2. git pull => fine
3. git checkout -b le12_nouveau => fatal: a branch named 'le12_nouveau' already exists => has been done earlier by me

PROJECT=Generic DEVICE=Nouveau ARCH=x86_64 make image

Unfortunately it seems not to be a rebuild, but a build from scratch: it will take 28 hours to finish the building on an Intel E6300 CPU (Duo Core 2 2x1,87 GHz) ...

mglae Providing me tar files to test is no problem. For other things I think I need more instructions.

I am trying the gbm/gl way and have applied changes to the file projects/Generic/devices/gbm/options:
OPENGL="mesa" and OPENGLES="no" and added GRAPHIC_DRIVERS="nouveau".

In step 246 from 297 steps the following error is shown: ../meson.build:21:9: ERROR: Dependency "gl" not found, tried pkgconfig and system and FAILURE: scripts/install glu:target has failed!

How to proceed (adding gl)?

The tar file of the fifth image I have put in .update/ => has been found and installed automatically. Also I have added the boot parameter video and I removed the file safemode.disable. The result can be found in pastekodi https://paste.libreelec.tv/exciting-crane.log .

After ctrl-alt-F2 followed by ctrl-alt-delete I could reboot.

The fourth image, the one from today, I downloaded and copied to another hard disk. I added the xorg.conf files, the safemode.disable and the norestart.conf files. Next time I will make use of .update.

In /storage/.kodi/temp there is a kodi.log, but no file with "crash" in the name.

Shutting down procedure stops at certain moment: problem unmounting /run/shutdown/mounts/"something" Device of resource busy

chewitt Sorry, I just found your third image. I added the xorg.conf files and the safemode.disable. After booting I see the pointer: I can move it and it sometimes disappears. ctrl-alt-delete is being ignored.

The Xorg.0.log I have cut after it started repeating and it can be found in https://paste.kodi.tv/iliwuyomam .

LibreELEC:~ # systemctl stop xorg.service
LibreELEC:~ # /usr/bin/xorg-launch -nolisten tcp vt01 -logverbose 6 -verbose 6
LibreELEC:~ # 

No output.

Did you configure Kodi with -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=gbm -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gl before compiling for your second image? I expect this should work.

On Slackware64 I configured Kodi by -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME="gbm x11" -DAPP_RENDER_SYSTEM=gl and it resulted in a Kodi running in a tty and under x11 (with the Nouveau driver).

LibreELEC:/run/libreelec/debug # cat xorg.conf returns XORG_DEBUG="-logverbose 6 -verbose 6" .

systemctl status xorg.service shows a line with /bin/sh /usr/bin/xorg-launch -nolisten tcp vt01 -logverbose 6 -verbose 6.

journalctl -xeu xorg.service has as output:
Jan 17 08:02:53 LibreELEC systemd[1]: Starting xorg.service...
Jan 17 08:02:53 LibreELEC (g-launch)[899]: xorg.service: Referenced but unset environment variable evaluates to an empty string: XORG_DEBUG

Jan 17 08:03:35 LibreELEC systemd[1]: xorg.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 1.

LibreELEC:/var/log # ls returns README    btmp      lastlog   log.nmbd  log.smbd  private   wtmp => Xorg.0.log is missing.

I am surprised about the [DEPEND] Dependency failed for windowmanager.service I have seen one time. I did not expect gbm needs an X-server and the X-server needs a window manager (or maybe a display manager?).

I also should expect Kodi should be compiled against gl instead of gles.

After switching to run for the image with GL support, disabling safe mode and adding the two xorg.conf files the ouput of the commands systemctl restart xorg.service , systemctl status xorg.service and journalctl -xeu xorg.service were similar to the ones mentioned in my previous post RE: nVidia Nouveau Driver. The file /var/log/Xorg.0.log was absent.

During making the adaptations I have seen as output on the screen:
[FAILED] Failed to start xorg.service
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for windowmanager.service
Later on i didn't see these anymore.

Another message on the screen is: Job xorg server/start running ( "time"s/"time").
