See what they say about Bluetooth.

it works fine for me under OpenELEC, and I just loaded up Ubuntu 14.10 (3.16.0-23 kernel) on a live USB and the Bluetooth module loaded without issue, so it's either a kernel or (more likely) a driver issue with whatever version of Ubuntu you are running. I really haven't tested/messed with the dual boot Ubuntu option lately, but the easiest thing is likely to reinstall Ubuntu 14.10 on top of your existing install. Or just boot a live 14.10 USB and see if it works there

Went and grabbed a USB keyboard. ChromeOS is doing the exact something.

***Diffrent TV - Diffrent HDMI Cable, same results.




Ideas from here?

Well I know what's going on but unfortunately I don't have a solution for you... The flicker and static that you saw in your previous video are both results of a HDMI handshake problem, I just ran into this on a DVDO matrix switch having problems with an older HDMI balun and TV. The only thing I can think of is that somehow your display driver isn't reporting correctly, so you may need to reformat the box. I wouldn't think that it's a hardware incompatibility since I've done three of these boxes with Matt's script so far and hooked them up to a variety of displays without any issues.

Hope you get it figured out!

I have the workaround script going that force the chromebox to reset the audio/video but after that it just froze.

I have the same issue as JonniMR, but I have a different point of view: I had this problem since the beginning with my Asus ChromeBox, with plain Vanila Software and Hardware, and the problem still persists with the dual boot setup.

On the other hand, I've tested my Chromebox with a newer LED TV I have in my room, and the problem didn't happen on that TV. The 'official' TV I'm using for Chromebox is an 2008 LCD TV from Samsung, so in my opinion it may be presenting the issues due to old HDMI handshake incompatibility...

I am an unfortunate K400 keyboard owner, and couldn't use the Openelec + ChromeOS dual boot, as I can't press CTRL+D on the developer screen. I have also tried FLIRC to do that, without success.

So now I have a standalone setup with Openelec, and I'm trying to install Chromium OS to a dual setup using GRUB, or something like that.

The problem is that building ChromiumOS seems to be a real pain, and I couldn't go much further.

I also tried the "Cx86OS-20141102010101" version from this site http://chromium.arnoldthebat.co.uk/ but all I get is a blank screen when booting from USB.

So, does anyone have a working build for Chromium to be used with the asus Chromebox? Any tutorial on how to dual boot Chromium + Openelec on the standalone coreboot firmware setup?

Thanks
Murilo

Camd64OS-20141030010101 works fine for me, booting from USB.

Installing ChromiumOS and OpenELEC in a dual-boot setup isn't going to be straightforward. You'll need to install ChromiumOS to the internal HDD first, then use a modified version of my script to partition/install OpenELEC, then modify the syslinux bootloader to allow for a boot menu to select between the two OSes. I don't think anyone has done it yet, as It's something that requires a pretty good understanding of the two OSes, Linux, and bootloaders. Plus, I'm not sure how ready ChromiumOS is to use on a regular basis, from a user (vs developer) standpoint.

In this case, I'll give up of this crap Chrome/Chromium OS, and I'll use Mint + Openelec...

Thanks again
Murilo

strange - I wonder if it's because the script was originally set up for 14.04, and some of the tweaks/additions are breaking things.

Either way, you can do a fresh install from the USB stick, just format/install into the partition sda7 only.

Have one simple question tho:
Will this remote work on the Asus chromebox w/OE
or would it be better to get a flirc and pair it with an ir remote?
