Debian Jessie with GPU driver, WiringOP, Wifi, Retroarch etc preinstalled

Jazzmania · Published in 2016-1-14 07:29:46

My hero! My OPi has been collecting dust because none of the distros had wifi so I couldn't get online. Now I'm up and running with an AirPlay server and some speakers, and life is grand! I will say the wifi connection is kinda spotty at times, but it could just be the location of the OPi relative to the modem. Or is anyone else having wifi issues?

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Dist upgraded to Sid. No more wifi working (demesg complains about missing firmware but firmware files are there). Also video driver does not work any longer, because x server was updated.

First of all, thank you Jacer, your distro is the better I tried.

There's no possibility to run kodi?

I've installed Kodi from repository

sudo apt-get install kodi

Copy code

but is not possible start it
When i try to run it i see this :

orangepi@OrangePI:~$ kodi
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/kodi/kodi-xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: malformed or no PCI ID
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open lima (search paths /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri:${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri)
Segmentation fault
Crash report available at /home/orangepi/kodi_crashlog-20160117_200430.log
orangepi@OrangePI:~$

Copy code

Is android still the only solution to run kodi?

Yes, the only solution

I disagree, I prepared OpenELEC with Kodi which has HW decoding. If you want complete open source solution there is also kodi based on libvdpau on kodi forum (doesn't support H3 yet).

Is it possible to create this rom ubuntu based?

Everything is possible if you have enough time and knowledge. However, I have no intentions to do it. You can try to port OSMC (based on Debian Jessie).

HI,

would it be possible to post the kernel configuration of the Jessie-image here?

I want to rebuild a kernel from the loboris-sourcen, which has the same features
as that of the Jessie image plus some additions.

Thank your very much in advance for anyhelp!
Best regards,
mcc

I'm only maintainer for unofficial OpenELEC port, loboris and igorpec are moderators for this subforum. Ask them.
