Sure, send me a PR

20170409:

- linux 4.10.9
- xf86-video-nvidia 381.09
- other updated packages: mgba-libretro, SDL2, mesa
- new packages: mrboom-libretro, vice-libretro
- transmission included (again)

Yeah, it's supposed to work although I don't have a bluray player to test. You can look at /etc/profile.d/99-kodi.conf to see the variables that are set up to make it possible. I haven't changed anything regarding this.

What do you mean? My build had 17.1 at day 1

LibreELEC has cron from busybox. There's no anacron support in busybox though, so an addon would need to be created. I doubt a lot of LE users need this though, so you'd probably need to package it yourself.

Nope, it's 32 bit only and LE only ships 64 bit libraries. You'd need to add gcc multilib and package all the deps as 32 bit libraries. It's quite a big task. As for learning how to package anything, the only way to learn is looking at the source which is basically a bunch of simplified makefiles and scripts that installs packages into the system directory before creating tar/img files of it. You'll need to know about things like autoconf, cmake, makefiles, patching and cross compiling. If you're new to Linux this is going to take you a good while so it all depends on your motivation. Good luck

One way could be to run it through Docker. You'd need to enable kernel support for 32 bit binaries (I was thinking to add that before, will do so for the next build). I was able to run PCSX2 this way, except I couldn't get it to mount UDF image files (I think because of 32 bit kernel calls through Docker didn't work) so it was a dead end.

I was able to resize partitions in 1997 without an internet connection so I'm sure you'll manage. If not, do a clean install

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like rtl8821a_fw.bin (the one used for his BT chip) has not been updated in 2 years, so updating misc-firmware won't help. I did a quick google search and didn't come up with any later revision either. Perhaps some kernel option is missing for it to load properly?

Drag & drop to the update folder is hard?

I believe there are ways to add custom update channels, but I'd need to research how to do that and probably change my hosting. Don't see much gain from doing so

Sorry, I don't use moonlight. Create a thread about it.

Yo! I said it twice now I believe, haswell supports 4.5. I have it myself (i5-4250U) and it's working Don't believe me? Copy over glxinfo and check for yourself.

It shouldn't. Did you perhaps change label of the volume where your movies where stored? That would affect the mount point path and give the same result.

On generic it's "xrandr" on rpi it's "tvservice".

Post the output of "lspci"

Download the .tar and extract it.

Odd, now my transmission has gotten into a state where it segfaults upon loading a torrent again: hNgX

It was working fine for a while, not sure what's going on here. Removing the torrent from resume/torrents data directory makes it start up fine again but adding a torrent results in the same.

My extended build has the required bits as well.

You should be able to use the "clean library" function to remove those unavailable.

dont know what you wanna tell me, but even as it-eng. its not my work to fix other peoples problems... well ok mostly ..but not at this point.

It's not other people's problem, it's your own problem that you are choosing to ignore the solution and the technical explanation on why it's not an issue with LE. Others in this thread managed to solve it, but the "IT engineer" did not
