hi,

I wanted to ask you if the tutorial at the first post is different for ubuntu server 19.10 or if it remains identical

thanks

Try it and tell us afterwards. I don't maintain it anymore, therefore I have no idea.

I took the new nuc 10i7FNH and I've been trying for a couple of days to install kodi as I had on the old nuc (J5005) but there's no way to make it work.
Decode only in software mode, I've been trying to install everything by updating everything but I can't get out of it.

I pray the guru @fritsch in a magic

sTry:
sudo apt install intel-media-va-driver-non-free

And first make sure to go back to a sane base.

Afterwards:
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD
vainfo | pastebinit

If that works, make sure to expose the env before starting kodi, like e.g.

Code:
sudo sh -c "echo 'LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD' >> /etc/environment"

and reboot.

Too bad. Use libreelec.

thank you anyway for your time and also because you are always kind and helpful with everyone.

**fritsch** · 2020-02-04, 21:42

Yeah, please report back if LE works. Try their nightly.

I already know it works because there is another user who has the same nuc and with librelec it works. (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2921633) in post 31 :Video and audio playback and nsf shares works. I'm now setting up the rest.

Instead look what I saw in my kodi log:

since I also have virtualbox (6.1) isn't that kodi is using its libraries? can't I force it to use the "system" libraries somehow?

That log just means, you did not install a proper graphics driver

nothing to do, I tried to clean it all up again but I can't figure out what's wrong.
I'm googling it but nobody's talking about it.
My problem is that I can't use ubuntu server installation because as soon as it has to wash on nvme disk crashes the installer.
I have to install ubuntu desktop 19.10 and with the taksel utility delete everything and select ubuntu server.
Maybe the problem is right here, I do not have a clean installation.

Do you know if it is possible to get a "nightly" iso of ubuntu server live install always at release 19.10?

The daily is 20.04 only i think: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/

Full kodi log please.

Now it should work. Why do you run vainfo as root? Permission issues? Groups wrong?

Please post all logfiles again run as kodi user.

I noticed that if I leave this directory empty "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ", then use intel, if I create the link (/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xorg.conf 10-intel.conf ) instead use llvmpipe again
