can't say I've seen that, how long was it taking to download? can you press a key to wake it? I thought I had disabled ChromeOS's power management to prevent it from going to sleep, but maybe not

Has anyone had issues with the network/wifi dropping with OpenElec on an Asus Chromebox? When it boots up its fine, but after a while of not being used (hours, not days), XBMC doesn't have a network address anymore. If I go into the network settings it will show the wireless network, but there is an error that flashes briefly (I believe something about other programs controlling XBMC) and to disable that. I have disabled that, but the problem persists (though sometimes that will get it working again for a while).
Thanks.

oops. it had gone into sleep mode. when i tried to get it to install from usb after reboot, i would not read the usb stick, so i checked the stick, and it had partitioned and had 2 files, but it would not read it, so i deleted it and tried to install the generic version from openelec, and it still would not boot from the drive, so im now trying to get it to boot from an sd card, it says, booting from usb device, but doesnt seem to be doing much. any idears?

as per the output of lsusb, your IR receiver is manufactured by Topseed, and their buggy firmware (or Linux's buggy USB3 implementation) is to blame for it not working. Grab one of the known working IR receivers (listed on the wiki) and you'll be all set.

download the v4.2.1 Generic x86_64 disk image, write it to SD/UDB using the Win32DiskImager tool, then boot from it.
I'll take a look at the script and see why it's going to sleep, it shouldn't be doing that.

yes, exit and re-run the script, and retry option 5.

wait, what? how did you reinstall ChromeOS without rebooting, which it told you not to do? And why would you need to, since flashing the firmware doesn't touch the OS?
I just tested/verified the script, so I'm going to guess that like another poster here, the write-protect isn't disabled, either because the wrong screw was removed, or because there's still something bridging the two connections on the board. You can verify this by running 'sudo crossystem' at the prompt, and checking the last two fields/values - they should both be 0 if the write-protect is correctly disabled.

Well the remote is clearly recognised in dmesg,

What problem exactly are you having? (Bearing in mind this probably isn't a question for this thread as the problem is unlikely to be peculiar to the Chromebox).

you missed the important part, from the last line:
Quote:[ 1396.089499] mceusb 1-5:1.0: 2 tx ports (0x0 cabled) and 2 rx sensors (0x0 active)
Quote:What problem exactly are you having? (Bearing in mind this probably isn't a question for this thread as the problem is unlikely to be peculiar to the Chromebox).
These Topseed IR receivers fail to initialize properly in the MCE driver, leading to the 0 active rx sensor msg. Its a Linux/xHCI issue, as the same receiver will work fine when connected to a USB2 port. I have one here, and have tried to debug the driver init, I just haven't had the time/interest.

most MCE remotes should work out of the box (with OpenELEC at least), so none of that should be necessary. And none of that will help anyway if the driver can't init properly and thinks there aren't any active IR sensors, which is the case here. Most users are probably best off just buying a Flirc to use with an existing remote or a harmony.
