RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.5 - 2014/12/22] - teki4u - 2014-12-23 Hello Matt, yesterday night i upgraded to latest ez script version and installed ubuntu server with lubuntu minimal install GUI again but i ran into 2 problems: After i upgraded the script i rebooted and all i got was a dark screen, i panic thinking i bricked it. so i tried moving cables, force rebooting many time until i found that removing my keyboard wireless adaptor from my asus chromebox the boot menu would then show up. I dont know why is that because until last version of standaone firmware i had installed my keyboard has always worked well. Here's the keyboard i have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BTQJ7SA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The second issue was that in the final install stage of ubuntu server, it installs GRUB bootloader to /sda by default, so the installer keeps reading the USB drive as /sda and installs grub in the usb installer thumb drive and after reboot if i remove it then the system won't boot. Once booted though it reads internal SSD as /sda. I have to manually install GRUB to SSD and configure it to use that new locations instead of USB drive.. Is there something you could do in standalone firmware to fix this? that would be great if possible. Thanks in advance and happy holidays to you ALL RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.5 - 2014/12/22] - Matt Devo - 2014-12-23 I'd power off fully then back on. There's no reason that a USB device should hang up boot - worst case it simply isn't initialized properly. Also remember that the first boot after a firmware flash will take a good bit longer. There's nothing I can do in firmware to fix Ubuntu's installer putting the bootloader on the wrong drive. The regular desktop installer doesn't have this issue, so I'd say it's a bug with the server installer. And as always, if it's not broken, don't fix it. There's no need to update the firmware with each release unless you're experiencing an issue that's explicitly listed as being fixed in the changelog. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.5 - 2014/12/22] - teki4u - 2014-12-23 i have tried everything you can think off but i still get dark screen hang when booting up if wireless adaptor is plugged in, the last thing i can do is to just go back to the firmware i had before v3.2 of script. How can i revert back? Hope you can PM me with that version RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.5 - 2014/12/22] - waterskier1018 - 2014-12-24 (2014-12-23, 20:23)Matt Devo Wrote:(2014-12-23, 15:42)waterskier1018 Wrote: Yes, I have files in the folder I created as well as the default folders that came on the disk station (music, photos, videos,etc). Can't get to either due to problem. My samsung smart tv can see the default folders but not the one I made. Does mapping them from the DS as a network drive count, or do I need to setup in another manner to confirm DS is OK? I did this already and it works great.

I went from 13.2 and noticed that 24p doesn't work anymore. Anytime I have the setting to adjust display refresh rate to match video, I get a huge amount of screen tearing in 14.0 that was definitely not there in 13.2. 2) Also, what's a reasonable CPU usage to see via the codec info in XBMC? I'm just playing standard 720/1080 content at bitrates of < 2mbit and it sits around 50-70% on CPU0 and maybe 10-30% on CPU0. Smooth (on 13.2), but it seems the CPU usage is higher than it should be. Already fixed the high idle CPU usage via the kernel. update.

Everything works great except that when I play a 3D movie, the chromebox does not trigger my LG tv to swich to SBS 3D mode. The Pi is able to do that with the same files (MKV with the 3D tag). So I am wondering if this is possible or is it unique to the Pi? The only difference is that the Pi was running stable builds for OE and Kodi, while now I have the most recent builds. Thanks. However, I checked my settings and they match what you provided. There is no specific LG TV setting to auto detect 3D. I really miss this feature as it is very helpful with the kids. I hope there is a fix as it worked out of the box with the Pi. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.5 - 2014/12/22] - Montanes - 2014-12-24 Hello Matt. First of all thank you for your great work and your patience answering all these questions. Here is one more for you. I have an Asus Chromebox running standalone Openelec. Today I tried to update the firmware using your standalone firmware updates scrip and I got this: ChromeBox Firmware Updater v1.1 © 2014 Matt DeVillier <[email protected]> ************************************************** !! WARNING !! This firmware is only valid for the Haswell-based Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBoxes with Celeron 2955U, Core i3-4010U, Core i7-4600U CPUs. Use on any other device will almost certainly brick it. Do you wish to continue? [y/N] y Checking if update available... Error: unable to determine current firmware version; aborting. Any idea what can be wrong?

Forgive my ignorance, I've been a Mac user my entire digital life 12 actually, in a GPT setup: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/disk-format#TOC-Google-Chrome-OS-devices The dual boot setup makes use of one or two of the unused ones, and resizes them and user state partition as needed. A standalone setup will use whatever type (usually MBR) and however many partitions are dictated by the OS at the time of install (two for OpenELEC). (2014-12-24, 01:27)Montanes Wrote: Hello Matt.

The updater script tries to determine the firmware version by parsing the kernel log, but failed to do so in your case.

Thanks a lot RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [v3.5 - 2014/12/22] - LilSnoop40 - 2014-12-24 Question now that XBMC 14 is out, i used my created usb to install it that i made on the original install of XBMC/Openelec, but it still installs Gotham 13.2. Can i just download the XBMC 14 and take the SYSTEM file and put on my USB in place of the SYSTEM file that is on there now. The SYSTEM file that is located in the root of the usb stick, if so where can i get the appropriate version? Thanks |
