RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/11/03] - ayteck - 2015-11-08

Hi Friends, i have some problems i search in topic same issue but i cant found.

i am install my asus chromebox firstly dual boot with OpenELEC... its work good but when i connect it to my Audio Video Receiver via HDMI my TV is did not show and says "This resolution is not supported, please change it" but resolution is FullHD. And i connect chromebox to TV direct via HDMI its work perfectly.. But i have to use my AVR because of Audio Decode issues.

My old box is Pivos Xios installed linux+kodi its working perfect with my AVR

So..

i want to try ubuntu+kodi dual boot options, i install Ubuntu according to guidelines, i try this 2 time different Ubuntu version but same issu. The problem is after install and restart chromebox first try to boot with ubuntu it seemed the black screen i wait nearly 10 minutes after then reset chromebox and try again boot with ubuntu, second try its showed ubuntu boot options, i select any of them and take the "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt" error, screenshots is fallowing.

Please help... first option for HDMI issue in OpenELEC or second in ubuntu..

Is it possible to get native resolution working with 1360x768 TV with Asus Chromebox and Openelec? HDMI-signal goes via new Yamaha AVR. That resolution isn't available on Openelec, and when using 720p or 1080p there's overscan and picture is slightly blurry.


RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/11/03] - fritsch - 2015-11-08

Yes - just create an xorg.conf yourself.

It's an issue of your TV ... he advertises shit :-)

Here, try this:
Code:
# put me to /etc/X11/xorg.conf or to /storage/.config/xorg.conf
# don't forget to adjust HDMI1 to your output in Screen _and_ in Monitor section
Section "Device"
  Identifier  "Device0"
  Driver      "intel"
  VendorName  "INTEL Corporation"
  Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier  "Screen0"
  Device      "Device0"
  # Change me to HDMI2 / DP2 whatever if needed
  Monitor     "HDMI1"
  DefaultDepth  24
  SubSection "Display"
    Depth       24
    Modes     "1360x768@60p"
  EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  # Change me to HDMI2 / DP2 whatever if needed
  Identifier  "HDMI1"
  HorizSync   14.0 - 70.0
  VertRefresh 24.0 - 62.0
  Option "PreferredMode" "1360x768@60p"
  ModeLine "1360x768@60p" 84.72 1360 1424 1568 1776  768 769 772 795  -HSync +Vsync
EndSection

I need _always Xorg.0.log and /usr/lib/kodi-xrandr | pastebinit or we can debug this for years.

Thank you Smile i will try this today, btw can you tell me anythink about ubuntu booting time error "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt"?


RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/11/03] - fritsch - 2015-11-08

Nope :-) - if you did not fuck up anything yourself - I have no explanation for this error, hehe.


RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/11/03] - ayteck - 2015-11-08

Smile) i see. Yes i didnt fuck up anything myself Smile


RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/11/03] - BoxFreak - 2015-11-08

So that 1360x768 won't be available even if that TV is connected to Chromebox while installing, modding xorg.conf is only way to go? I did preinstall Openelec for a friend of mine with my own FullHD-system and didn't realize he has that kind of older TV. Now it would be time to update 5.0.8 to 6.0 EGL and fresh install would be easy way to go.

It's trial and error ... nothing straight forward ...

Alternative: Buy a TV that actually works :p a real FullHD version that advertizes its correct modes

Well I just have to try fresh install and then dive into modifying xorg.conf if it doesn't help.

My friend doesn't have that much money, so that easy and smartest thing to do (new FullHD) is out of a question. I've never understood why on earth they made (and still make) TV's with that strange resolution. 1280x720 would be much better if 1920x1080 is too expensive.

you set the boot options without testing the install first, and likely skipped on of the dual-boot setups (either the factory reset, or running the script a 2nd time)

Is there anything that I can do to fix this? I've tried to do the factory reset step again and it loads it, but brings me right back the white screen when I hold reset button down. Otherwise I go straight into the load screen and then it black screens again.

So......excuse my ignorance I'm new to this, but what's the difference between running openelec and kodibuntu when running as a stand alone? I have kodivinity running on an acre net top already, I am just trying to set up a couple of chromeboxes for other rooms in the house, one of wich would be very convenient to be wireless

Yes - though there are very few 1280x720 native TVs out there. ISTR that some DLP rear-projectors used 1280x720 units, and some 1024x720 plasmas (with non-square pixels) - but I'm not sure I've ever seen a 1280x720 LCD panel in a TV.

Loads of 1366/1360x768 models... Almost all HDTVs sold in Europe as "HD Ready" but not "Full 1080" or "Full HD" were 1366x768 (with a very few 1680x1050 or 1440x900 or similar odd ball models)
