masch: my understanding is that it should boot similarly to a rpi 3 build, maybe you can find qemu configs for one of those?

ukleinek: so where's the problem then? The installer doesn't run at all.
<vpeter>
I doubt it will work because yet.
<zzlatev>
vpeter: hey, is that directed to me?

hey guys, how can I install libreelec on amd64? It doesn't show me "Main Menu" with option install LibreELEC
_whitelogger has joined #libreelec
<vpeter>
Are you using official image? Because default option is to run installer.
<vpeter>
What happen when you boot from USB stick?
<zzlatev>
Yes, I use the image from the USB Creator that downloads the image
<zzlatev>
I boot from usb stick and the only options I have are RUN and LIVE.
<zzlatev>
When I choose RUN, LibreELEC installs to USB.
<zzlatev>
and starts from USB
<vpeter>
And if you don't do anything on boot what happen?
<zzlatev>
It starts Linux Mint
<vpeter>
Strange. And if you type Installer or installer at boot prompt what happens?
<chewitt>
masch: LE does not (never has done and has no plan to) support boot of RPi images in qemu
<chewitt>
if you want to test something there's an OVA image you can import to vmware
<chewitt>
but that's vmware only .. if it happens to work in anything else that's accidental not intentional
<zzlatev>
vpeter: I haven't tried.
<chewitt>
zzlatev: default 'Generic' image has a syslinux boot prompt with live/run .. and if you don't touch anything it will continue to 'installer' mode which gives you the screen
<chewitt>
live/run is only on-screen for a few seconds
<zzlatev>
well, OK, I will try.
<chewitt>
if you stopped boot there, type install or installer (not sure which) and it should continue as normal
<vpeter>
But if he doesn't type anything system from hdd is booted.
<vpeter>
Installer should be run by default. So something strange is happening.
<zzlatev>
Should I erase the whole HDD before anything else?
<vpeter>
No need.
<zzlatev>
Yeah...
<zzlatev>
Maybe I should change the boot menu?
<vpeter>
There is no need to anything.
<vpeter>
Just press space or tab to see boot prompt and type installer.
<zzlatev>
When I press TAB I see LIVE and RUN
<vpeter>
Ok, tell me which image did you select in USB installer?
TomTom has joined #libreelec
<zzlatev>
LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.0.1.img.gz
<oblikoamorale>
current version is 9.0.2
<oblikoamorale>
also i don't see uppercased LIVE and RUN words in LE's mkimage script...
<zzlatev>
Do you think that might be the problem
<vpeter>
There is no general problem :)
<zzlatev>
What do you mean?
<vpeter>
There is no problem with image itself. Only in your case there is something strange.
<vpeter>
Do you see this message "Wait for installer to start or press <TAB> for more options (live, run)" ?
<vpeter>
on boot
<zzlatev>
Yes, but it doesn't start the installer.
<vpeter>
If you press tab or space at that moment you see boot prompt?
<zzlatev>
Yes
<vpeter>
And which system is this? Some Intel NUC or custom build machine?
<zzlatev>
Custom build machine - AMD64
<vpeter>
And if you type installer what happen? Just linux from hdd?
<vpeter>
Which graphic card?
<zzlatev>
Just Linux from HDD, yes
<zzlatev>
Nvidia
<vpeter>
So maybe installer is run but it crashes somehow and it continue to loading Linux.
<vpeter>
Can you press F8 or some other key to get bootable devices menu from BIOS?
<zzlatev>
I have HDD and USB
<zzlatev>
I can't see the installer running, but it might be, yes
<chewitt>
boot from an Ubuntu (or other Linux) live USB and wipe the target disk
<chewitt>
note that LE requires a disk to install to, so it cannot replace the Mint partition on a disk that contains Mint + Windows
<vpeter>
Still installer should run.
<zzlatev>
That's a good suggestion, but the installer should run in any case, right?
<vpeter>
If you type live does le starts?
<zzlatev>
Yes
<vpeter>
:)
<zzlatev>
?
<vpeter>
Do you have TV connected? Try monitor if you can.
<zzlatev>
Yes, I have monitor
_whitelogger has joined #libreelec
<vpeter>
Now you have connected what?
<zzlatev>
Monitor
<vpeter>
I though it would work with monitor.
<vpeter>
Try tv then.
<zzlatev>
I have tried both
<vpeter>
I'm out of ideas atm.
<zzlatev>
Thank you for everything
<vpeter>
Maybe some extra parameter to boot parameters could help. Like vga with some value.
<zzlatev>
OK, I'll try!

out of curiosity, just tested the 9.0.1 generic image: installer runs automatically, no need to select or type anything
<zzlatev>
It works. I've wipe all disk.
<zzlatev>
vpeter: thank you for everything, dude!
<vpeter>
Working after disk wipe?
<zzlatev>
Yes
<vpeter>
Funny. Something to remember. Or fix installer :)

vpeter: what's weird is that to my understanding installer should run unconditionally since bootloader menu itself is static. I didn't dig deep, maybe there's some detection going on behind the loader scenes, but in my test case installer ran even on diskless system

twanny796: the image is written to an SD card (overwrites and repartitions the SD card) not copied to an existing SD card
<vpeter>
oblikoamorale: I would assume that main installer menu should come up always.

...if it runs, yes. I'm just trying to understand why installer entry was missing in boot loader menu. or was it...
martian67 has joined #libreelec
<vpeter>
It can't be missed because it is always there. Look the code.
<vpeter>
And he manually type installer and it was known boot entry. Because it didn't return any error.
<vpeter>
So installer runs on it's own too.
