Been running my Chromebox for 2 years now, that for you hard work Matt. I've noticed for the last moth or two that the CPU usage will creep up to 90%. I'm not running anything different. I thought that is was a memory leak in Isengard. I upgraded to LibreELEC 7.01 with Jarvis and I still see high CPU usage.
Any suggestions on how to do a full system backup, my /storage partition is at 73%. I looked around thinking I could make a symbolic link to another partition or make a backup in another partition but no luck.

Use the backup function under the LE settings addon, and point it to a network folder or removable device large enough to backup the storage partition

Thanks Matt, when I select an external drive, either FAT or NTFS it says 'There is not enough free space to continue'. I am also seeing 'Backup files will be stored in /storage/backups' even after I change to another location for my backups. Does LE make a temp backup on the /storage partition and then move the final tar ball to somewhere else? This would be my Linux based guess.
I haven't looked at the backup code recently but I'd have e to guess it does try to compression the backup before copying to the selected destination. You could always format the removable media as ext4 and just dd /storage to it. I haven't run into this issue myself as I don't keep anything stored locally
Matt,
I simply came here to say that I have been running XBMC/Kodi successfully for two years on three devices thanks to your amazing work (just set up a third), and I want to say thank you.
Do you have a Paypal tip-jar like setup or some such? You deserve it.
Cheers!

always nice to hear, it is impressive that two years later the Chromebox is still one of the best options for Kodi =)

It is a thing of wonder that the little Chromebox is still going strong. The original Asus Chromebox is still the #1 seller on Amazon in its category!
Is there a way to take a dedicated KODI Chromebox and add a regular web browser to it? I’d like to be able to get to YouTube outside of KODI.

Use the Chromium browser addon for Open/LibreELEC
Matt,
Is Open/LibreELEC new OS for this setup? I have OpenELEC (version 6.95.37.0 (kernal: Linux 4.4.8) running Kodi 16.1 Git:c1c4b9e) on the Kodi box as per your original instructions. Do I need to reinstall Open/LibreELEC?

I used that notation to indicate either OpenELEC or LibreELEC; at this time LibreELEC is the OS of choice for a standalone setup. One can simply upgrade to LibreELEC from OE via a manual update
Matt,
So I can do a manual update using LibreELEC (Krypton) v7.90.002 ALPHA and I’ll have the browser in that package? My Kodi box is a ASUS CHROMEBOX-M075U.

the Chromium browser addon is part of the LibreELEC addons repo and the OpenELEC unofficial addons repo. Regardless of which version/build you are running, you have to manually install the addon. You're welcome to try the LE8/Kodi 17 alpha, but don't expect support for that here (yet).
Yikes! I haven't been on these pages in months, now see that Kodibuntu is getting left behind.
Matt, I've been doing a lot of reading here and a bit more at the Wiki, but are there instructions somewhere explaining how I convert my Asus box from standalone Kodibuntu to standalone LibreELEC? It's not obvious to me from your first post and I'd liek to avoid going al the way back to square one if I can.
Thx!
