what kernel you have installed?, could you try install intel specify kernel?
(linux-image-5.13.0-1010-intel)

presume you have intel graphic

(the specify driver gave me never version of drivers)
libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_7
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.7 (libva 2.6.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel® Gen Graphics - 20.1.1 ()
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints

hopfully it could help

No he uses the integrated radeon GPU in hist NUC, see his first kodi.log:

Maybe it's a problem with the radeon driver.
It would be worth a shot, trying to use an usb-c/tb to HDMI adapter, if there is a video signal on the port.

I saw that now, Im prety sure this is driver problem

you could try to add this respetory

Thank you for the input guys.

I will try that link you posted and will let you know how i went.

[alfton]

another thing, is there any new firmware or something for you nuc you could try uprade it with?

I followed the url you sent me, installed the ppa and did the sudo apt upgrade which returned 1 error, i rebooted and now i am presented with a black screen, i can't do anything, so i have rebooted pressing the esc key and am in the Grub menu but I'm totally lost, i don't know what to do.

[alfton]

if you are abel to get in console try following
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

then you revert back to original again

you have to tell Xorg to use the obioaf driver i think.

[mrblue630]

GNU GRUB VERSION 2.04 is as far as i can get. I press the Tab key and there's a bunch of text there that i don't understand

[alfton]

sorry, im not sure what have gone wrong here, you dont get any posibility to get into safe modus kernel here? If not you have to try to start a live ubuntu cd, and try to chroot onto your broken system, and do a revert of the latest changes.
or you could try out the easy way, and try out libreelec to se if it could solve your problem

Sorry I leeded you out in this failure.. was not my itend

No need to apologise mate, you were only trying to help.
I am going to reinstall Linux Mint and start fresh.
I don't want to use Libreelec as I'll only be able to use it for Kodi which will be a waste for this Nuc.

[alfton]

check if there is any firmware upgrade to your nuc, and if you dare to try again to find another video driver, could solve your problem.

[3dfx]

Before you attempt to re-install the whole system, can you log in via ssh?
There you could still try to repair the system.

And if you are going for a fresh install, maybe consider using ubuntu?
Maybe the oibaf ppa isn't meant for Mint, not sure

[alfton]

 Think maybe 3dfx is right here, i think its more compatible with ubuntu

but read this instruktions very closely:
