Hello,
It can’t work because you are using a special version to test.
Please reinstall with the iso downloaded from http://download.geexbox.org/test/x86-64/
then once ready, from a (remote or not) shell, do :
opkg install http://download.geexbox.org/test/x86-64/xf86-video-nvidia_370.28-3_x86_64.opk
It will install the nvidia drivers compiled for this new kernel

please post what you can see on the screen once you have done this command
then reboot

Cheers !

you can test it here :
http://download.geexbox.org/test/x86-64/
but upload is in progress
(for xf86-video-nvidia and geexbox-devel)
ETL : 1h25min
(yes I know, small speed …..)
How are you testing this ? usb key ? plain install ?
I just found a new bug for usb key, it should be fixed (persistent file was not taken into account)
I can not myself test nvidia kernel module cause I have no more such device …

Cheers !

[tomlohaveModerator]

Hi,
the build with the new kernel is quite finished.
Do you have some time to test it ? if Yes, I can upload it.

Looking at your lsmod results, nouveau module should not be loaded …
(it should be blacklisted)

[tomlohaveModerator]

Hi Skelos.

I have a version of rtorrent without the need of screen. Did you have time to test it ?

Cheers !

[tomlohaveModerator]

Hi Skelos

-> size = 0xF0000000

it seems quite good : 4GB
But Rudi is better than me for this

[tomlohaveModerator]

Hi,
Can you post the results of command :
lsmod

It seems the driver is not loaded by xorg at all.
I’m working on a new kernel with a more recent version of nvidia drivers.
I will post a pre compiled version soon.

[tomlohaveModerator]

Hey,
We are happy is you use it and if you love it. Thanks to you ?
About your comments :
1) Rudi or I can have a look about the slide show and can try to package it. (I didn’t look for the moment)
2) ffmpeg can do that. I already used it for this purpose. Off course a script that does it is more elegant than doing it by hands. Not sure I will add time to package/create that.
3) Never tested this.
4) I don’t use weather add-on so I can’t help. @rudi ?
5) I see what you are talking about. I use a scrapper only since few days. But right now, everything seems to work well.

Hello,

Version 3.1 is quite old. Can you try to switch to devel ?
binaries are here : http://download.geexbox.org/snapshots/
uncompress the img.xz file and use a tool like win32diskimager if you are on windows.

I suspect the same problem on devel.
Just connect remotely, and edit /etc/opkg/opkg.conf
the line that starts with “src snapshots http://…..” is maybe incorrect
the good one is src snapshots http://download.geexbox.org/snapshots/geexbox-kodi-i386-generic/latest/binaries.i386/packages/

then do opkg update

[tomlohaveModerator]

No problem to add something in this thread, only if it ‘s completely different, open a new one.

[tomlohaveModerator]

Hi Peter,
that’s not a stupid question; download area for snapshots is : http://download.geexbox.org/snapshots/
for all platforms (kodi or xbmc, it depends … )
For development snapshots, a copy of make-sdcard is provided with each tarball.
I suppose you refer to that in documentation. This file is present.
If you have no linux pc to use it, you can use the *********.img.xz file with win32diskimager or an utility like that on windows (https://sourceforge.net/p/win32diskimager/wiki/Home/)
but don’t forget to uncompress the file first (xz extension)

Speaking about the corruption, that’s because you have upgraded from the gui ?
We have done an important update last days, switching from eglibc to glibc, so all packages were upgraded. We have tested locally the switch without problem but ….
Before doing a fresh install, save the content of your sdcard, or (maybe better) burn a new sd-card, restore the ip you want for geexbox, re-enable ftp access (under gui, no problem)
Then you should be able to restore your data from previous install of kodi, copying your saved/old /root/.kodi directory to the new one

[tomlohaveModerator]

ok, so if live boot works correctly, try to connect to geexbox remotly (see http://www.geexbox.org/geexbox-advanced-configuration-login-and-administration/ (telnet part) )

and please execute this command line :
cat /proc/mounts

Then I can send you what to do exactly to install it

[tomlohaveModerator]

Ok that’s because we boot without the ‘nocache’ option.
Once you boot, send me the results of command line :
cat /proc/mounts

[tomlohaveModerator]

edit : found some problem with this method, looking at it …

[tomlohaveModerator]

Hello,
Maybe there is an extra option in bios ?

Anyway, if you keyboard works once the system started, you can always install it.
just connect remotely (see documentation) or stop kodi/xbmc (depending of the version you boot with)
then umount the device you want to install on it and start installator
here is what I do ( on a vbox) :

thomas@servA:~$ telnet 192.168.1.36

[tomlohaveModerator]

Sure, let’s continue to talk about this via P.M.
You can find my private email looking here : http://www.geexbox.org/the-team/
as already said, the video card is the most problematic one I think ….
