Please provide complete Lakka system log and graphic card log.
I am afraid your card is too old for RA.
What is strange is that it does not find DRM device even if the kernel module is loaded for your card.
What is the output of ?
for p in /sys/class/drm/*/status; do con=${p%/status}; echo -n "${con#*/card?-}: "; cat $p; done
Thank you.
hello can you help me im trying to install lakka on my laptop (hp mini 110-3700) but it keeps saying this:
[ 7.245671] ACPI BIOS Error (bug): \_SBPCI0._OSC: Excess arguments - ASL declared 5, ACPI requires 4 (20200925/nsarguments-162)
And right after that it keeps bootlooping
You should have opened a new thread but try to a make a test by appending this parameter acpi=off in the cmdline.
If you installed it, try this documentation.
Also you can try live mode using those parameters live debugging nosplash acpi=off
Just curious, have you tried the 32-bit version of the Lakka build (i686) version? Because that computer, and Iām pretty sure of this, will not compile a 64-bit version of this program (it doesnāt know what to do with it). Maybe Iām off and full of shit, and havenāt reviewed the rest of this thread yet, but I donāt know. But Iām pretty sure youāre going to need the 32-bit version in one of the older builds.
Hello, Iām a new user so Iām only able to reply and not create a new topic. Iām trying to install Lakka on an Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbook. Iām just using the LIVE version for now, since the documentation recommends that to see if Lakka can be run on it before going for the actual installation. With the Live Boot, Lakka boots up and I see a screen flashing at a low pace with the flower logo and āLakka (official): 4.2ā on the top left corner. Iām using the 32 bit version. Reading some other posts here, I took the liberty to create some logs by using SSH and connecting to the netbook. The logs are below. I hope it helps figure out if this netbook is able to run it or not. Iāve added some small comments between the logs. Iāve left out the ādmesgā log, let me know if that is necessary:

LVDS-1: connected
VGA-1: disconnectedIām having the same problem with a Raspberry Pi 4 1GB using the AARCH64 4.2 release. It gets stuck on a bootloop after the partition resizing.
The same release works fine on a RPi4 2GB and 4GB boards. I also tested on another 1GB I had lying around with the same results (boot loop).
This is what Iāve tested on the Raspberry Pi 4 1GB:
- Raspberry Pi OS 64bit (bullseye) works fine. Tried to update the Piās firmware but it was already on latest version.
- Ubuntu works fine
- Libreelec works fine
- Lakka-RPi4.aarch64-4.2.img.gz - boot loop after partition resizing
- Lakka-RPi4.aarch64-4.1.img.gz - splash screen shows up after partition resizing and then a blank screen
- Lakka-RPi4.aarch64-4.0.img.gz - boot loop after partition resizing
- Lakka-RPi4.aarch64-3.7.img.gz - works fine
I reverted back to 3.7 for now but I wonder why 4+ releases just donāt boot on the 1GB version. Does the 4+ release write something in the >1GB memory region? As stated, it works fine on the 2GB ad 4GB boards I have.
I donāt have a Pi4 but checking the source for lakka I think that this might be the issue:
gpu_mem=384
Reducing it should fix it.
Thank you. Iāll try that and report back
Yes, that did it. I set it to 320 and it booted fine. Thank you
I think I spoke too soon. I had to lower the gpu mem to 256 and switch to the ozone gui. Otherwise I would get random crashes here and there, specially when going through lists. I tested with an UHS1, A1 and A2 type sd card with almost the same results.
For the time being Iām going with the A1 card, ozone gui and 256 GPU mem (the UHS1 card was giving me some slowdowns when going through lists). So far no crashes.
If push comes to shove I think Iāll give up and switch to a 2GB board although I had specifically bought both 1GB boards for emulation (one for the Playstation mini case and other for the SFC mini case).
Ok, new development, I kept getting crashes while browsing lists with thumbnails, maybe after browsing about a hundred games or so. I set the GPU mem to 128 and I managed to crash lakka after browsing some more, maybe around 150 games.
So I think that lakka caches the thumbnails into RAM but it expects at least 2GB of ram to be available(???).
At the end I went back to the UHS1 card, set gpu_mem to 256 but didnāt download any thumbnails. I hope this setup holds.
Yes RetroArch crashing when browsing playlists with thumbnails is a thing that is known to happen (on some RPiās at least). It used to be more prevalent when RPi2/3 were more widely used.
I myself have a Pi3 and have not experienced this crash in a very long time (specifically since the switch from 32 to 64 bit), but Iām not surprised it hasnāt completely gone away.
Oh I see. I had lakka running before on a PC and never happened, I donāt know if that was because of the RAM amount or due to the architecture.
Anyway, I wanted something low power for that and got the 1GB Pi 4s. I already had one 4GB board running Raspberry Pi OS and a 2GB board running OSMC. I thought the 1GB boards would be good for emulation and so far that seems to be the case but from the onset it seems that lakka hasnāt been tested much on 1GB boards, at least not the 4+ versions.
Well, then I guess Iāll forego the thumbnails. Thank you for your support metchebe.
Set the boot options to UEFI then boot in legacy mode with bios menu (F12 or F9)
Hey there, I am just new, and this thread helps me quite a lot 
Got another issue 
I canāt load a core,ā¦
I just put the 2 does box pure files onto the core folder via WinScP
But no core were found, also with file pre checkā¦
Please.help

I am assuming one of the two files is an info file and needs to be in the info folder, not the cores folder.
