Login at Kodi Home

grantonstar · 2016-02-15, 13:30

Hi everyone, I updated my old HD TV to a new Samsung SUHD. I plugged the hdmi cable into the TV and Kodi displayed fine. Then I restarted kodi and I'm now getting a blank screen. Xrandr says it can't open the display and even the bios screen when I reboot doesn't display. I can't configure xorg without a display being detected.

I'm at a loss. I tried different hdmi ports and no difference. The same port works for my cable box. Any ideas?

Nope. Retry with the logfiles from Post 1.

You are not member of video and audio group, right? Also install kernel 4.4 or later.

grantonstar · 2016-02-15, 14:02

sorry check updated link http://paste.ubuntu.com/15073568/

Accidentally ran it as myself.

Where can I get kernel 4.4 from?

in log there is this:

just installed / configured it on a fresh system w/6.0.198 without issue. Maybe a download/connection errror, or perhaps try updating your repos prior to install?

Made an new clean profile in kodi, installed tvheadend client and changed profile back to default and everything works now. Seems there is an problem whit my backup what I did first when I installed egl version. now everything works great.

The picture quality in my 55oled tv is superb Shocked

. thank you for your hardwork Smile

Nothing wrong in this log.

4.4.1 kernel: http://fritsch.fruehberger.net/kernel

Try and use OpenELEC, please - it already has everything setup correctly.

I installed kernel 4.4.1 from above. Same issue.

When I connect it back to my old LG everything is fine. If I disconnect it from the LG into the new TV, then it displays Kodi (at 1024x768). xrandr still reports it can't open the display. And as I said before, if I restart kodi then I'm back to no display.

As I said previously, it's really strange. The TV doesn't even display the BIOS screen. I can try OpenELEC tomorrow (I'm in developing world with poor internet so it's quite slow) but I am not sure I can get it to boot from USB without seeing the BIOS.

If you run xrandr from the terminal, do it like:

DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/kodi/kodi-xrandr

with the very same user actually running kodi. Also provide /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Ah damn! Would it be worth trying with the openelec build?

The strange thing for me is it occurs pre-Linux booting, not even the BIOS or grub screen displays. Could this indicate something on a hardware level?

**fritsch** · 2016-02-15, 15:45

Everything is possible. Change HDMI Port / Cable - whatever, make sure it is seated correctly and so on ...

Changed cable and ports, same issue.

I guess with no other option i will look to return TV.
