  • NFS issue with share from Debian kernel 6.x

    I don't think the RHEL article is relevant because the 4.18 kernels are ancient (even though RH backports a ton to them). That also doesn't correlate with the OP who broke his setup by updating the kernel on his OMV install.

    You can also look at Kodi changes for NFS and filesystem caching. I have fuzzy recall that there are some between K19 and K20, but as I never use NFS myself (as SMB works fine) I never pay any attention to them. Some differences to an LE9 install would be expected since the entire codebase is different, but we aren't seeing general user whinging about NFS issues with LE11 and that usually means the reported issues are more localised to a specific other software (are you also using the same OMV version?) or something else niche/environmental.

  • LE 11.01 Suddenly started booting to safe mode

    Once you're in safe mode you will remain in safe mode unless you manually revert back to the previous Kodi setup. That can be done by stopping Kodi and renaming folders to restore the previous Kodi instance to the right location. That will also restore the crashing though, but in 99/100 cases the reason for repeated crashes is a bad add-on, so watching the logs and seeing which add-on causes the crash; means you can then delete the add-on folder from /storage/.kodi/addons (and the packages folder) to get things running again. The fix of the problem then depends on what the problem was, but some kind of add-on update (new version, etc.) is usually the way forwards.

  • Realtek RTL8188EUS Wifi Adapter on Rock64 not detected

    "lsusb" reports whatever is connected to the bus, it has zero meaning for the device being probed and working. The staging driver is enabled with `"CONFIG_R8188EU=m" in the RK3328 kernel config and it appears to result in the module loading (as you found) but then nothing. I would expect to see the firmware loading and such. Are Debian using the staging driver or the vendor driver? (the module might be the same name but could would be completely different). Are Debian using any patches?

  • Compilling for Amlogic S905 - Help for extra steps

    Item 1 "git grep estouchy" should help you find the places you need to edit to prevent it being bundled. Items 2/3/4 are addressed via advancedsettings.xml configuration (more git grep will help that). Item 5 you can add packages to the image if they are LE add-ons. If they are third party add-ons it can be done, but we intentionally avoid providing instructions as there are people out there keen to bundle pirate add-ons and repos and that shitware is bad for our name. Item 6 is solved by adding "UBOOT_SYSTEM=box" to the build command.

    ^ This tells me that you aren't booting the LE 11.0.0 image that I linked so there is no Realtek driver included. There is no support for the RTL chip in our main releases and that is unlikely to change. It is currently included in my private image.

    https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE….arm-11.0.2.tar <= don't pay too much attention to the version number, it just means it's ahead of LE 11.0.1 official images.

  • Argon One case

    I'm sure there are many happy users, and it's been a popular case. However our (forum moderator) experience with it is mostly all-bad. The case requires internal connections between HDMI and other connections on the board and the external ports on the case and these cause problems. The standard protocol when we see 'Argon' anywhere in the issue report is "remove the board from the case, all working now?" and in 9/10 situations users refuse to believe it's the case, but when we insist and they finally cave in and remove the board; the problem was the case. Caveat Emptor :)

  • Am i missing a step?

    There's a DNS resolution error with api.pluto.tv and then a series of Python errors with missing dependencies; all of which are quite obvious if you search for 'error' in the logfile. It's not an issue with LE code, so the errors need to be reported to the respective add-on authors via the add-on support threads in the Kodi forum.

  • Wetek Play 2 no Wifi with Box Image

    The "invalid-key" error is probably bugs in iwd affecting a small number of users. We've bumped iwd to the latest release in LE11 nightlies and this appears to resolve it for most users. Update to the latest nightly here: https://test.libreelec.tv/11.0/Amlogic/wetek-play2/ and report back. The issue is tracked here: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/issues/7166

    The dmesg messages are correct and harmless.

    For double results; an educated guess is that connman is scanning in the background so its results are visible to the dbus agent in the LE settings add-on, and then you're running scans via iwd and its results are also visible. If you don't run the manual iwd scan do you still see duplicates?

  • NFS issue with share from Debian kernel 6.x

    If reverting the kernel change on your NAS eliminates the issue, then you need to bisect the changes between the working and non-working kernel versions to pinpoint the problem commit; then report this to the upstream kernel maintainers to pursue a fix. Before sending emails to mailing lists I'd suggest you also check that fixes are not already merged into newer (and current development) kernels to avoid reporting a problem that's already resolved.
