I can only press " esc" if I put a Sd card but does not load the System.... How i return to the script menu ?

Easiest way (from Windows) is to download Rufus USB tool, select downloaded OE image file (.img.gz) and just create the install media. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/10] - mxlance - 2016-04-12 kodi dialogs flickering? i recently switched from kodibuntu to galliumos. galliumos appears more stable so far. however all dialogs in kodi flicker badly. pause osd and menus, movie information etc. all flicker. main menu, views and video are fine. i searched and this appears to be an issue that crops up from time to time. i tried changing various system and video settings to no effect. this is only a kodi issue everything else in gallium looks good. this is a stand alone install to an acer cxi and i updated the firmware on 4.5.2016 is this operator error or are others seeing this issue? i will post a log if it is needed. any ideas? thanks RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/10] - noggin - 2016-04-12 How did you install Kodi - and what version are you running? Most of us in these parts running Linux with Kodi are using Ubuntu/Kodibuntu, Debian or OpenElec (with a few Arch users) - not sure about GalliumOS. What distro is it based on? (Is it Debian, Arch, Fedora etc. based?)

(I noticed flickering with other software like Chrome and Steam on Xubuntu as well.) Try disabling it before starting Kodi and reenabling it afterwards: pkill compton and compton -b." this solved the problem in kodi as well as improving overall screen redraw performance. it is necessary to switch back when moving between kodi and chrome, but i can live with it. better than the flickering. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/10] - calcio1 - 2016-04-14 My Asus Chromebox has recently started behaving very oddly when playing videos Purple lines flash across the screen Green-tinged frames JUMP in and out Sometimes it just goes black for a second or two. All in all it's making it pretty unusable Has anyone had similar problems? I can post a debug log later when I get home. I have a feeling it's a hardware issue as it has worked fine for a year or more RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/10] - kaiseruk - 2016-04-14 Anyone have high cpu usage with millhouse's kodi 17 builds? Have the asus chromebox and cpu peg's to 100% after a while even after i reformatted box.

The OP lists what info is needed to try and diagnose problems, and you've provided none of it unfortunately.

I've tried everything possible changing OS (currently running windows 10 off external HDD), downgrading coreboot firmware but nothing fixed it so yeah I guess is a hardware issue. Though I've been able to make it behave a bit better by pushing the box against the wall with HDMI cable making some pressure in straight position, now I get occasional 2 to 6 or so seconds of "black screen" with that little change, no bad coloring behavior anymore. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/10] - ilovethakush - 2016-04-15 I'm confused. A hdmi handshake issue implies that using another hdmi cable would work or at the worst it would be the tv/monitor and connecting it to another one would work. You seem to be describing a permanent handshake issue aka a broken hdmi port, basically a broken chromebox. Correct me if I'm wrong. For the record, I've been using a chromebox for a long time and had no such issue, just wondering. |
