Matt, how easy is it to change to standalone Ubuntu? Do I need to flash image again?

Can I change boot set up if I don't want 30sec and change it to 1sec?

I'm in the process of installing standalone Openelec/Kodi on an Asus, having a few issues.

Unfortunately, the image is cut off on the left side. I can't see all the text/instructions. Tried adjusting
the format on TV but still can't see enough. The part I can't read or understand is:

.... the number for the device to used to install the OpenELEC:


Is "type" the first word? If so what number?

Thanks in advance!

assuming you are running a dual boot setup now, you are asking two incompatible questions. Switching to any standalone (aka, non-ChromeOS) setup eliminates the developer boot screen, so there's zero delay before the SeaBIOS boot screen. But if you want to switch to a standalone setup, just boot ChromeOS, re-run the script and choose the standalone option, then reboot. Ubuntu will now boot immediately. If you want to reclaim the disk spaced used by ChromeOS, the easiest thing to do is just install fresh from USB install media, though you can also boot something like Parted Magic and delete/resize partitions as needed, but it's not as ideal.

The Ubuntu question is because I'm considering to test it out in the future. Thanks.

Quote:ideally you should disable any overscan on your TV by setting the picture mode to 'exact' or 'just scan' or whatever terminology is used for your set.

but yes, the script is enumerating the connected USB devices, starting with 1, and asking you to choose which one to use.

I had it on "Just" but tried another input which worked.

Tried hitting 1 (USB was in the first left front slot), it wouldn't work. Rebooted and and now it's stuck at "Booting from Hard Disk"

Is it possible to download the script my laptop to USB, then boot from that?
