Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - avalloneandrea - 2016-05-07 I have installed Kodi on my Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian via Quote:sudo apt-get install kodi and added the following line to my /boot/config.txt file Quote:gpu_mem=512 However, when I launch Kodi, I get the following warnings: Quote:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/kodi/kodi-xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output defaultafter, Kodi starts with a solid black screen. Why, and how can I resolve? RE: Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - popcornmix - 2016-05-07 Is this raspbian Jessie? If you are using the older raspbian Wheezy, I suspect you are getting a generic Kodi, rather than one built for Raspberry Pi. RE: Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - avalloneandrea - 2016-05-07 Yes, It's Jessie! RE: Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - popcornmix - 2016-05-08 Have you enabled the experimental GL graphics driver in raspi-config? That will not work with kodi. A complete debug log (wiki) may help. RE: Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - avalloneandrea - 2016-05-15 No, the experimental GL graphic driver is disabled. Here is the log: http://pastebin.com/FvMqY5Gy RE: Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - popcornmix - 2016-05-16 (2016-05-15, 15:07)avalloneandrea Wrote: No, the experimental GL graphic driver is disabled. Yes, that's a generic kodi, rather than one built for Pi. Never going to work. If you start with a raspbian jessie image you should have the raspberry pi repo which includes kodi buit for Pi. You can also download a deb file. E.g. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=109088 RE: Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - avalloneandrea - 2016-05-16 I have installed Kodi with sudo apt-get install kodi. So is this the wrong way? I will try installing the deb file.

I will try installing the deb file. It is correct if you are using a clean raspbian jessie image which includes /etc/apt/sources.list.d/raspi.list containing the line "deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ jessie main ui". I suspect you don't have that. RE: Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - avalloneandrea - 2016-05-16 That's odd, this is the content of my raspi.list file :/ Code: deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ jessie main ui RE: Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - avalloneandrea - 2016-05-17 I have followed the guide in the link, and eventually Kodi UI popped up, but: 1. During the installation I got the following errors: Code: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cec-utils: 2. The remote doesn't work (probably because of 1.) 3. In the upper left corner I always see mem and cpu usage stats. 4. How can I install the latest version (16.1)?

I'd recommend the PiPplware version linked from here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=109088 RE: Black screen, failed to get size of gamma - avalloneandrea - 2016-05-24 I have installed the PiPplware version. Black screen again.

Platform: Linux ARM (Thumb) 32-bit This isn't the PiPplware version (which should be Kodi 15). It's not even been built for Pi. You may be better off uninstalling any versions of kodi first. Make sure it no longer runs, then try installing the PiPplware version. Anyway, you'll get a better response to these questions on the raspberry pi forum thread discussing the build. |
