I am so sorry for my ignorance.

One last question. Upon release of a new version of Kodi, will It automatically update or is that a whole different animal?

ASUS CN60

When I boot the chromebox it starts with the screen "OS Verification off, Press Space to Re-enable"

If I press ctrl-d, it flashes, black, then flashes a white screen with the word chrome and the logo in the middle, then black again, then a screen with the "chrome" and logo at top left and one line of asian script across the middle of the screen.

If I boot with the recovery button pressed, I get a screen that says Chromeos is missing and insert recovery media. If I put in a libreelec USB it complains that it doesn't contain a valid ChromeOS media (fair enough).

In neither case can I ctrl-alt-f2.

I have completed this successfully on at least 4 prior machines, but never had this before. I don't want to stuff it up any more so seek help.

I am thinking I may need to reinstall Chromeos and start afresh, but my internet is all over the place like a mad woman tonight, and I am having trouble downloading a recovery image.

*Sigh* a quick 20 minute job I told the wife...

Anyway, help appreciated.

Chose US english and I was able to get my way into chromeos again. Alt-F2 and ran your script.

Now running LE alpha. Didn't have to restore anything.

I know your of the "If it aint broke..." camp but I do like to be up to date as do others I am sure!

With that in mind, once booted from Ubuntu USB do I run the Firmware Utility Script and choose option 3 to update my standalone install running the Millhouse LibreELEC builds?

Code:

cd; curl -L -O http://mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh && sudo bash firmware-util.sh

you can update using either the Kodi E-Z Setup Script or the ChromeOS Firmware Utility Script; the latter is a bit fancier (gives system info/firmware info) and has more options but either will work for simply updating the standalone firmware
