RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/10/16] - Lambada123 - 2015-10-29 Hello Matt, here is the kernel log for you: http://sprunge.us/iDCh RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/10/16] - phdlincoln - 2015-10-29 Hi Matt, New to Kodi forum. I got ASUS Chromebox M075, I recently installed Openelec on USB drive using EZ script. I see that KODI on USB drive seems running bit slow. 1) Why running from USB is slow? 2) If I copy the contents on to other faster USB drive, do you think it can make things faster? IF yes, what is the best way to copy it?Do you suggest USB/SD which one you suggest?? 3) When I press Ctrl-L , then I din't pressed ESC in time... IT is getting stuck with black screen. What might be the issue? Thank you PhdLincoln RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/10/16] - Matt Devo - 2015-10-29 (2015-10-29, 11:06)Lambada123 Wrote: Hello Matt, everything looks good there - you did run the firmware update script after a fresh boot, correct?

USB devices also do vary significantly in speed. Quote:2) If I copy the contents on to other faster USB drive, do you think it can make things faster? IF yes, what is the best way to copy it?Do you suggest USB/SD which one you suggest?? you can't simply copy the contents to another USB, you'd need to re-run the EZ Setup Script to ensure that the USB is formatted properly for OpenELEC and to ensure a compatible bootloader is installed. Quote:3) When I press Ctrl-L , then I din't pressed ESC in time... IT is getting stuck with black screen. What might be the issue? CTRL-L boots the ChromeBox in legacy boot mode. If you haven't installed a dual-boot OS to the internal SSD, then it's trying (and failing) to boot ChromeOS in legacy mode. Since you're just running OpenELEC from USB, I'd recommend you use the 'Update Legacy BIOS' function of the EZ Setup Script and when prompted, choose the option to default to USB boot, so you don't have to worry about hitting ESC in time.

Another question: The FanControl is from Bios or OpenELEC? My ChromeBox makes problems when i wake it up from hibernate. The Fan runs FullPower for 20sec or for ever... then i must restart the Box and all is fine...

If not, that's likely the issue. Both - the firmware provides fan speed settings for specific temperature ranges, but the OS is free to override that. The Linux kernel overhauled their ACPI stuff around kernel 3.19, a bug in which is causing the full-blast fan on resume from suspend for many other devices as well as the ChromeBox. I don't think there's anything I can do from the firmware side to mitigate it, but I'll check.

RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/10/16] - phdlincoln - 2015-10-30 Hi Matt, Is its possible to use Logitech revue keyboard with Asus Chromebox M075 for Kodi ( USB drive install). Does it need any special setup ? If possible How?

It's just like any other current Logitech unifying device in that regard. See logitech's forums/support for more info.

RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/10/16] - Leo8978 - 2015-10-31 I plan on setting up an ASUS Chromebox for a friend tomorrow, and the instructions posted here seem pretty straight forward. The only thing I'm questioning is how you install addons or skins from a zip file. Do you download them on a pc and transfer them over to the Chromebox on a USB flash drive?

The only thing I'm questioning is how you install addons or skins from a zip file. Do you download them on a pc and transfer them over to the Chromebox on a USB flash drive? You could do it that way, or, you could open Windows explorer, & type in the IP address of your chromebox ( example: \\192.168.1.100 ) and you'll see some shared folders. I drop the zip files into the shared download folder. Then when you want to add from a zip file, navigate to the internal folder...I think it's thru the "home folder". Either way works. Additionally, if you want to do an update you drop the .tar file into the shared "update" folder & reboot your box....easy.

Thank you so much for the quick response. This definitely seems easier. As long as I get Kodi up and running on the Chromebox, I will try this method of installing the zip file. Thanks again!
