Slowly blinking lakka berry on EeePC 701 and EeePC 900A

[zx6802]

I'm trying to use Generic.i386-2.0. on an EeePC 701 with an XBOX compatible wired controller. Neither "live" nor "installer" gets me past the flower screen. For some time the flower disappears and reappears than the computer alternatively seems to shutdown or to hang. It doesn't make a difference whether I us a SDHC card or an usbstick. For more information see here.

[gouchi]

Issue template is not working ?

Please provide some Lakka system and graphic card logs.

Thank you.

[zx6802]

Sorry but I'm not quite sure what I'm expected to do.

Referring to your link I don't get a chance to do what is recommanded under the headline "Introduction to Lakka logs", because I don't get a commandline prompt. The screen is either black or shows the flower.

[gouchi]

So you succeeded to connect by ssh ? If so, you can enter the command to get the log.

If you can't connect by ssh try to enable it when you boot by entering to cmdline to boot in live mode and enable ssh live ssh

[zx6802]

I didn't even try to connect by ssh. It says "Then, you need to enable the SSH Service in Settings->Services." which I can't do for the reason mentioned. Should I nevertheless try to connect by ssh? Anyway I'll try "live ssh" ASAP.

Here is, what I got

[zx6802]

It seems that the contents of retroarch.cfg does not survive a reboot. Also if I change the file by mounting the usbdrive on another computer, I get the unchanged one after booting. Also it is not possible to soft-reboot Lakka with a shutdown -r now i.e. to say, it hangs on shutdown reached without rebooting.

[zx6802]

Rechecked LAKKA_DISK/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg outside of a running Lakka and it now seems to permanentely contain the line video_monitor_index = "1".

[kivutar]

You need to stop retroarch if you want to edit the retroarch.cfg in SSH:

systemctl stop retroarch
nano .config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
systemctl start retroarch

[zx6802]

Well, as far as I understand, there is no way to "stop retroarch" if I edit the file on another system, which was the first thing I tried. Anyway the above line seems no firmly planted in retroarch.cfg.

[kivutar]

I see that you get a segfault when launching retroarch. Can you try to get a backtrace?

You need to do like this:

systemctl stop retroarch
gdb retroarch

then type r and after the crash, type bt

Make a photo of the output and paste it here.

I have an EeePC 900 version, different CPU (Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 900MHz) than in 900A, otherwise similar specs I assume.

Using Lakka 2.0 I ended up with the similar results as zx6802's 900A: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Using Lakka-Generic.i386-2.1-rc1 I got the on my 900 the same as zx6802 got on the 701: intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

Please let me know if I can help by providing logs or something else.

And BTW: rgui and glui menu drivers works just fine, only xmb is failing.

[gouchi]

Thank you for the feedback.

Is it possible to edit the configuration file and change to

menu_shader_pipeline = "0"

Thank you.

[ltrvs]

Setting menu_shader_pipeline = "0" doesnt't help. But with it I can see XMB screen to appear for about a second, then it fails. Both outputs below are from Lakka-Generic.i386-2.1-rc1 with menu_shader_pipeline = "0":

GDB attempt: pipeline0.gdb.txt

Guessing some debug flags from https://www.mesa3d.org/envvars.html: INTEL_DEBUG=dri,bat MESA_DEBUG=1 LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose retroarch --menu --verbose > pipeline0.log.txt 2>&1 pipeline0.log.txt I'm happy to take another log with proper flags if You find these ones polluting the output ;-)

BTW: The logs have a bit different reason for the failure: intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument intel_do_flush_locked failed: No such file or directory

Got something with gdb (EeePc 900, Lakka-Generic.i386-2.1-rc1, menu_shader_pipeline = "2"), are there any clues in this? gdb.txt

There is no debugging symbol. You should try to compile RA on Linux distro with ./configure && DEBUG=1 make

Switch to console (CTRL+ALT+F1), launch RA and get some gdb bt.

Thank you.

[ltrvs]

Ok, thanks for the advice. I've done a build env successfully (http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Compiling-Lakka/). I think it's easier for me to do a RA debug build there than set up RA for another distro.

Any tips for Lakka build newbie? Just clean RA and 'DEBUG=1 DISTRO=Lakka PROJECT=Generic ARCH=i386 make image'?

Thanks :-)

[gouchi]

Oh I see cool, yes it should work. If not you can force it in RA package.

[ltrvs]

How about this?

Edited a bit (thanks to Markdown), full output here: gdb.txt

Damn, it wasn't so easy, all of my several attempts involving make image led to missing symbols. This is how I finally got the symbols there, hope it's OK.

1. DISTRO=Lakka PROJECT=Generic ARCH=i386 scripts/clean retroarch
2. DEBUG=1 DISTRO=Lakka PROJECT=Generic ARCH=i386 scripts/build retroarch

[gouchi]

Is it possible to try with this configuration

menu_shader_pipeline = "0"
video_threaded = "false"

Thank you.

[ltrvs]

Sure.

With menu_shader_pipeline = "0" + video_threaded = "false" I got RetroArch running: It displayed correctly for under a second, then distorded (yellow and black, texts unreadable) but kept running, then crashed when I pressed arrows on keyboard. Console output ended with

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

A gdb session ends with SIGABORT, in case it makes a difference. gdb.txt

EDIT: Oh, just realised the above gdb.txt was done on a full custom Lakka build of mine. Here's the same with my debug build of RetroArch on Lakka-Generic.i386-2.1-rc1: gdb2.txt

And here is the output from Lakka-Generic.i386-2.1-rc1's RetroArch: output.txt

[gouchi]

Thank you for the log, can you check if you reproduce with Lakka 2.1 rc2 with menu_shader_pipeline = "0" + video_threaded = "false" and new one xmb_shadows_enable = "false".

Thank you.

[Oredukri]

I have the exact same issue with an Advent AIO100 which is quite similar hardware-wise to an eepc .

The problem is new to Lakka 2.0 since I've been using this same machine with previous versions of Lakka without any issue. (I've also tested lakka 2.1 rc2 and rc3 without solving the problem).

Installing a previous version might help you, zx6802. The issue might be finding an old .img, I lost mine and I can't find any online.

[zx6802]

@Oredukri: Thanks. Time's a bit short here at the moment, so I don't know when I can come back to it, but it would be nice, to have a workaround.

[Oredukri]

The only official old build I could find was here nightly. I've just tested it and my advent works again. I tested nes, snes, gbc, gba, mega drive and master system.

A heads up though. The first time you boot the system it will go slow, extremely slow, since our netbooks don't support a menu option that is enabled by default. You can fix it the tech savvy way or the lazy way, I'll explain the second one.
Once you boot you'll find yourself on the menu, press and keep pressed right (it'll take a couple of seconds to change), until you end up at options tab; press and keep pressed down until you highlight "menu" press enter until you get menu options; get to "menu shader pipeline" and press left until it says "off". All that process might take a minute but once menu shader pipeline goes from ribbon to off you'll have a fully responsive lakka distro.

I hope it helps you as it helped me!

[Rombusevil]

Thanks a lot @Oredukri ! I tested the image you linked and the instructions on how to make it fast and it works great on a thinkpad R60 and also on a Asus EEEPC 701. Haven't tested any games yet, but the base system works great.

[ltrvs]

@gouchi : using Lakka 2.1 rc3 and menu_shader_pipeline = "0" + video_threaded = "false" + xmb_shadows_enable = "false" the result is the same as earlier:

I got RetroArch running: It displayed correctly for under a second, then distorded (yellow and black, texts unreadable) but kept running, then crashed when I pressed arrows on keyboard

Output from plain retroarch command: 2.1-rc3-ra.txt

And for LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose retroarch --menu --verbose as it seems a bit different: 2.1-rc3-ra-menu-verbose.txt

I extracted the KERNEL and SYSTEM files over the existing ones on my SD card. Please let me know if i should use RC2 and another upgrade method for some reason. I'd love to help you with more logs, but my resources timewise for this hobby are kind of limited... Feel free to ask for them, I'll deliver when possible :-)

@Oredukri : Do you happen to know which build is the first failing build after the working nightly you've found? Just wondering how many changes there might between them, and if the developers might spot a change that could be the reason for this issue.

@All Please note that you can use also recent builds if you change the menu driver to something else than XMB. If you're not comfortable editing the configuration file, I assume changing the menu driver setting with a working nightly and then upgrading e.g. to a recent RC3 does the trick too.

[markwkidd]

It seems like issue is getting narrowed. Hopefully that leads to a solution :D I say this because I have just had the same experience with an EeePC 900A.

I can get into a slow, but functional XMB when I use the LakkaOE nightly labeled: Lakka-Generic.i386-devel-20161221183902-r21729-g274b40f-efi

When I use the Lakka 2.1 rc3 I make it to the Lakka logo but no farther. After about 20 seconds the logo disappears. From the on the screen is black but it periodically flickers. It looks a lot like how a screen responds when it is changing mode/resolution. (There are no evident changes in resolution though.) The image I'm using is Lakka-Generic.x86_64-2.1-rc3

I am having a difficult time accessing logs on this installation so far, but once I figure out how best to get to a commandline I will try to get SSH up and running which it doesn't seem to be at the moment.

[Oredukri]

@ltrvs Sorry for the delayed answer, it's been crazy here so I've been out of the computer for a while.

I can't remember the exact build it was since I updated it a few times and then forgot about it for about 4 months, until last week I tried to update and it constantly restarted the download at 15% , so I ended up testing lakka 2.x, sorry.

If I could access the isos of the last 1.9 versions I'd be willing to test if they work fine.

I'm glad it worked for you too @Rombusevil

[ltrvs]

FYI: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/5188 There's discussion about about not supported HW/driver GL versions.

Could this be the root cause also for this issue?

[gouchi]

It seems related if your card provide OpenGL up to 1.4

You may try to make a test with Lakka 2.1.

But I am afraid you will have to switch to rgui menu driver.

[markwkidd]

@gouchi and @zx6802 Lakka 2.1 is working perfectly on the Asus EeePC 900A. XMB is functional as long as the ribbon is disabled. Glad I can move off of Lakka OpenELEC for this system and enjoy the new features!

[gouchi]

@zx6802 : Try to edit your configuration file with menu_shader_pipeline = "0"

@markwkidd : Thank you for the update.

[zx6802]

Thanks for the news and thanks to everyone who contributed. I'll look into it ASAP.

[gouchi]

@zx6802 any news ?

[zx6802]

Sorry, ASAP turned out to be much longer than expected. Thanks for your continuing interest. I'm not at my machine right now, but will come back to it and report ... uuhm ... ASAP.

[markwkidd]

I've just installed successfully on an Asus Eee PC 1005HAB that has this same issue starting with the default live installer.

At the boot prompt I used live textmode to get to a console where I can then stop the retroarch service and use nano to add menu_shader_pipeline = "0" to retroarch.cfg. At that point things are working well.

@gouchi I'm pretty confident you can close this issue as solved.

[Rasenberry]

Confirmed this fixed the same issue on Acer AspireONE
