Linux Switch from Android to Linux and all is now good, except.....
#1
Sad 
Ok, so did the switch from Android to Linux after settings not being able to be saved on the Android OS (after trying everything from advancedsettings to custom scripts.

Now, Linux is going all good EXCEPT the date and time won't automatically set each time the device is switched on. I have to go to Settings > Internet Access > Save and apply network interface settings. The date and time will then set correctly. Another thing to note is until I do this I cannot play any media either (but the media libraries do show). Also, BEFORE I hit this button in settings I can see it is connected to my network BronxNZ and has it's own IP address and the correct gateway and subnet.

Why doesn't it connect fully and apply everything by itself on boot? This is one of the things it DID do on Android and now the only thing it WON'T do on Linux Undecided how annoying!

Somebody please help and share a fix if possible. Surely this has happened to someone before. Running v12 XBMC on a linux build. Midnight (I think) media player box.

TRY THIS

Raspberry PI does not come with a real clock. What that means is that you will have to set the time every-time you boot by hand. But, there is an easy way to rectify this:
ssh to OpenElec. (u:root/p:openelec)
"vi /storage/.config/autostart.sh"
Add the following content:
#!/bin/sh
(sleep 30; \
/usr/sbin/ntpdate pool.ntp.org; \
)&

"chmod +x /storage/.config/autostart.sh"

When your PI comes up, it will take 30 seconds and the time will be in sync.
