Known issues and tips

  • Tons of issues undocumented. :-x
  • To enable Auto-login, edit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf file like this.
  • [SeatDefaults]
    greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
    autologin-user=odroid
  • Kodi and Gsteamer playback is sluggish when we play 1080p video clips. Slow GLsink rendering seems to be a root cause even MFC HW decoder works fine.
  • Some UASP capable USB-to-SATA bridge controllers are not compatible. If your external HDD is not working properly, add its VID/PID in boot.ini Boot arguments to disable the UAS function something like this.
