Tips and Known issues
- The root file system will be resized in the first booting process. OS will reboot automatically to complete the resizing process. This process must not be interrupted.
- xorg.conf changed places to: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-odroidc2.conf
- To change CPU governor to “ondemand”, refer this guide
- mySQL/KVM needs an editing of boot.ini file to change the system timer source to ARMv8 Architecture from the Meson. But the ARMv8 timer affects the VPU/GPU system accuracy.
- Mali GPU access could be blocked by a recent Canonical's EGL package. In that case, you need to install our Mali driver manually.
sudo apt install mali-x11 --reinstall
- To enable CEC feature, install “libcec” package manually.
sudo apt install libcec
- To enable NFS feature in Kodi, install “libnfs” package manually.
sudo apt install libnfs11
- To enable Auto-login, edit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-slick-greeter.conf file like this.
[Seat:*] greeter-session=slick-greeter autologin-user=odroid
- NTP time syncing takes long time (sometimes around 1~2 minutes)
