RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - darebee - 2016-05-18 (2016-05-18, 16:43)ilovethakush Wrote: Are you sure that the LE test builds are stable or at least semi stable, I read in the thread that a lot of Intel users are having trouble running them, didn't read anything specifically chromebox related though. I've been running LE8.0 since they have been building and I think it's very stable. I update about once every other week myself. I had growing pains with Estuary but I am used to it now. There is also an Estuary mod out there that I have been playing with http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=267343. Not to mention, if you use backup to get a copy before you move over you can always downgrade.

And with OE/LE, there's a built-in backup function that you can use to copy your config to another machine.

No, just userdata. You'd need to install the OS first, then restore the backed-up data RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - bbsc - 2016-05-23 @matt Devo, Is there a way to make seabios follow this scenario: 1. At boot look if there's any USB Device. If no - try to boot from the internal SSD. 2. If any - try to boot from the first. If no success - try to boot from the next one. If no success with the last one - try to boot from the internal SSD. 3. Wait 60 sec and reboot. I'd like to manage this process without a keyboard. The part in bold is absent now. Thank you in advance.

Worked like a champ - thx RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - Matt Devo - 2016-05-23 (2016-05-23, 06:56)bbsc Wrote: @matt Devo, unfortunately not, given that SeaBIOS handles external usb-attached devices the same as internal storage. If the selected/default boot device fails, there's no way to roll over to another device of the same type/class. Best it can do is fall back to a floppy image, cd/dvd drive, or PXE payload RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - bbsc - 2016-05-23 Ok, let's leave several USB devices alone. Can you make it to do fall back to the internal SSD? RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - Matt Devo - 2016-05-23 (2016-05-23, 17:03)bbsc Wrote: Ok, let's leave several USB devices alone. no, because ssd and usb are treated the same. Regardless of which has priority, it won't fall back to the other. If you want the (very long) technical explanation as to why, I can try and dig up some links RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - bbsc - 2016-05-23 Thank you for the explanation. Seems now I understand. Your setting "Always boot from USB" changes the order of the devices connected. And there's no way to change this order without reflashing, am I right? Sad but true. It would be very convenient: if you insert an SD-card with OpenElec - it boots, if no - Windows boots from the internal SSD. And an external HDD connected in the both cases RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - Matt Devo - 2016-05-23 (2016-05-23, 17:27)bbsc Wrote: Thank you for the explanation. correct, the bootorder cannot be changed without reflashing. Sounds like a custom bootorder would be what you need. RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - danfloss - 2016-05-25 Im having a very strange problem with my Asus Chromebox, which i haven't actually touched since i set it up a year ago. The sound which goes to and comes from my TV is extremely tinny. The TV itself has perfect sound and i have changed the HDMI lead but its made no difference. I have Openelec on it and its set to auto-update but there were long periods were it wasn't used. Wondering if something has changed in the past while which i have missed.

But it certainly doesn't sound like an issue of simply being "out of date" RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2016/04/26] - tmarin - 2016-05-25 Hi Matt, I'm trying to switch from standalone to dual boot on my Dell Chromebox. I'm following the instructions here: http://kodi.wiki/view/Chromebox#Resetting_to_Stock I am able to open the Firmware Utility script and select option 7) Restore Stock Firmware I do not have a firmware backup file, so I select my model Dell 3010, but then I get the following error: Failure reading current firmware; cannot proceed. What can I do from here? |
