Intel VAAPI howto with Leia v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server
(2015-12-11, 21:17)DJ-1 Wrote: Hi... I've got a nuc5cpyh (braswell) & latest bios(all at defaults).
Currently, all I done is install the 15.10 server linked in the 1st post & did a basic install, no encryption or anything.

On startup, I've got 50% chance of a normal boot, or it hangs at he same line each time
"starting update utmp about system reboot/shutdown"

Does the additional steps (I haven't done yet) in page 1 fix the possibility of the hang....? Or is it new?.

Thanks.

Check the second post - which has some important bits for Braswell.

"Check the second post - which has some important bits for Braswell."


ok, although i didnt notice it error, i did the dvfs workaround anyhow, boots ok most of the time now (8 out of 10 times i tried ).

i was gonna upgrade the intel driver
"If you have an issue with 15.04's intel driver, upgrade to: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572..._amd64.deb"_amd64.deb and install it with dpkg -i.

question: do i have to create any folders ( like dvfs fix) or just from the starting point ?

sorry for noobish question.

thanks.

Yea - you do ...

Code:
sudo apt-get -f install

Though it seems your setup is _not_ equivalent to the howto on the first page ...

Install libxcb-util0
Code:
sudo apt-get install libxcb-util0

I simply read the output you posted which said libxcb -util0 was missing. Maybe apt-get -f install fixed that error. Having to use -f is usually the result of some earlier error.

^ Had to do that too on broadwell/nuc
libxcb-util0 is missing when going to install the extra bits. Followed guide to the letter.
Resolved through steps listed above.

Funny - I did that howto again myself 3 days ago to test the new Minix Braswell box ... good that it is easy to solve.

How do you like the Minix Braswell?
Is the performance comparable to the Beebox?

I got a N3150 - it's working cool and does not overheat - even when I watch kodi 1080i50 + compile on 4 cores ... it stays much cooler than my selfbuild asrock system ... it seems the engineers did very good with the cooling solution. One thing (this is a preseries release) I asked them was to add "power on by USB" if possible as this device does not have an IR remote ... that way power on from off would be working.

Currently uploading a new build (ETA 3 Minutes). Only change: Added an upstream fix for the handbrake mp3 issues.

Btw. from now on I won't always upload an img.gz file ... as most people only upgrade and don't reinstall. Just use the latest img.gz for fresh installation and then upgrade to latest .tar
