Intel VAAPI howto with Leia v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server
Guys,

I would like to update this post because like me maybe he has the latest NUC model and he's gone crazy.
So I've solved it using a couple of "tricks" that I don't like but that work

I hope that the user (and that I thank him again with all my heart for his infinite patience and goodness) @fritsch does not want to shoot me and that if maybe I'm saying crap to correct me and I try to summarise the steps I have taken (I hope to remember them in the correct order):


Installation
-1.) Hardware and software :
       - NUC10i7FNH
       - OS Ubuntu Server 19.10
       - Kernel : 5.5.8-050508-generic

0.) Basic Installation and script tuning

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 

This is really very important for my system otherwise the hardware acceleration doesn't work.
sudo sh -c "echo 'LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD' >> /etc/environment"

sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/dri
sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/dri/*

sudo nano etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
Quote:options i915 enable_guc=2 enable_psr=0

sudo apt remove gdm3
sudo apt remove pulseaudio

Allow "everyone" to start the Xserver
Quote:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-legacy ->everyone
sudo nano /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config -> needs_root_rights=yes

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20intel.conf
Quote:Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Device0"
  Driver      "intel"
  VendorName  "INTEL Corporation"
  Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
  Option "TripleBuffer" "false"
  Option "TearFree" "false"
  Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
  Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

sudo adduser kodi
sudo usermod -a -G cdrom,audio,video,plugdev,users,dialout,dip,input,disk kodi

sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-actions.pkla

1.) Now we install the kodi in nightly version:
Quote:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/xbmc-nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-x11
As we use openbox as our display manager, we need to auto start kodi, therefore create:
Quote:sudo mkdir -p /home/kodi/.config/openbox
sudo touch /home/kodi/.config/openbox/autostart
sudo chown kodi:kodi /home/kodi/.config -R

cat /home/kodi/.config/openbox/autostart
Quote:OUTPUT=`xrandr -display :0 -q | sed '/ connected/!d;s/ .*//;q'`
xrandr -display :0 --output $OUTPUT --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
xsetroot #000000
xset s off -dpms
/usr/bin/kodi --standalone
while [ $? -ne 0 ]; do
/usr/bin/kodi --standalone
done
openbox --exit

And in my system I also had to update the graphics drivers
Quote:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade


@fritsch if I said nonsense or if the installation history is not correct, feel free to intervene and fix Smile

thank you all
