Extremely Slow After Choosing Any Menu Option/No tv output

Can you connect over SSH and run a log. Does everything work when its running? If there is enough of us, with the same issue and resolution hopefully we can provide whatevers needed to fix it.

#22

Say me how

This is how I do it on a mac:

Open Terminal ssh root@ipaddressoflakka pw is ‘root’

then:

Option A: Copying from the terminal window

[ol] [li]Restart the retroarch service in ‘verbose’ mode with this command: systemctl stop retroarch.service ; retroarch -v.[/li][li]Keep the terminal window open. After the service restarts, the system log will begin appearing in the window where it can be copy-pasted to another location[/li][/ol]

@thesuffering : To be sure you disabled the output to LVDS-1. You followed this tutorial right ? So that only the HDMI output is on.

We may have to change video_monitor_index as we disabled one output. Is it possible to get a log of retroarch when you disabled LVDS-1 output.

Thank you.

#25

I can try that tutorial. I havent done those steps yet. I do know without the video = LVDS-1:d in the cfg it was causing the boot to be extremely slow. Ill try this and report back.

My output of outputs currently shows as: Lakka:~ # for p in /sys/class/drm/*/status; do con=${p%/status}; echo -n "${con# */card?-}: "; cat $p; done DP-1: disconnected HDMI-A-1: connected LVDS-1: connected VGA-1: disconnected

I shouldnt need to bother with anything aside from LVDS and HDMI since the others show as disconnected right?

nano /flash/extlinux.conf

is blank in terminal when trying to edit using the instructions for the nettop

We forgot to update the documentation, sorry it is :

  nano /flash/[B]syslinux.cfg[/B]

this made some difference, but seems like it took out retroarch.cfg completely. Xbox 360 controller is no longer mapped, usb ps3 controller not mapped, it says no core, wifi is disabled. The good thing is though, I can change monitor index via gui now. so i have higher hopes that this will work. If i can get wifi working again i can start to make that progress. Via keyboard i was able to scan wifi networks, enter in the passphrase, but what do i press after the passphrase is done? I believe on the xbox 360 controller it was start or the xbox button, but ive never done it on the keyboard. Enter and Esc certainly arent the right options i found lol

#29

Any time i restart the pc, the config changes are wiped out (even with the save changes option turned on). all the icons are black squares. short of trying to update it again anything I can do to fix it?

#30

So I reflashed the usb drive to new. xbox 360 controller was working again, wifi connected no problem. Connected via ssh, modified the syslinux.cfg and added video=LVDS-1:d to the end of the append section of the live portion (not the installer portion).

back to square one now, cfg file broken again, wifi gone, 360 controller doesnt work, all icons are black squares, everything looks blocky…

#31

If you’re losing your icons and everything is getting blocky, it’s because your asset directory setting is being lost. My guess is that, if the monitor is doing what you want, you can just go into settings > directory and point everything where it needs to go and it should all start working again.

#32

Ok, that makes sense. Currently the drive is being reflashed again. Once done, ill give it a whirl and report right back.

#33

I think you forgot to remount the partition in read only before rebooting :

 mount -o remount,ro /flash

Try to do it from a “clean” version.

I assume you are right, as it doesnt see many of the files/folders anymore. There is a storage folder, but its empty within. Here is my terminal input:

Lakka:~ # mount -o remount,rw /flash Lakka:~ # nano /flash/syslinux.cfg Lakka:~ # mount -o remount,ro /flash

am I doing one of these steps wrong?

#35

Those steps are correct. Try to redo it from a fresh install/live.

#36

I have, like 4 times now. Same results each time. I feel you are correct that its not remounting a partition right, as it cannot find most anything on the storage partition but i dont know how to get it to make sure everything is mounted

#37

Here is what it looks like in Settings>Directory

If i try to change any of those the folders are all empty

#38

here is what it looks like navigating , hopefully this helps explain and provide insight

#39

Hello, I send you a private message, I hope it will help.

#40

Not quite having the same problem as suffering, but I did notice something when I logged into the syslinux.conf file and changed the SSH from quiet to verbose. It does seem to indeed have trouble mounting the storage drive and does lock up (Google is your friend sometimes). Any ideas on how to correct it so it can mount properly?
