Great forum,
Just purchased the HP chrome box and followed the instructions for installing dual boot with openelec.
I Removed the write-protect screw but still I am getting a message that write protect is enabled.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

Awesome script Matt, thanks a bunch for all the hard work, especially the additions to the chromebox section of wiki that I assume were all culled from this thread.
I have read through the thread in detail and after following all the instructions have a perfectly working standalone openelec asus chromebox.
I am however troubleshooting a couple of minor issues and I wondered if anyone could shed any light or point me in the right direction for further troubleshooting.

1. I have an xbox 360 wired gamepad controller plugged in but openelec does not seem to recognise it. I have confirmed I have gamepads enabled in the XBMC options and everything I've read seems to suggest the driver is a default in the current build of OE but my install doesn't seem to load it and the controller isn't listed when I run any diagnostic utilities. Stupid question but does the build of openelec installed by the script include the driver for the 360 controlpad? If no, how would I install it? If yes, any ideas where I can look for further troubleshooting on this?

2. WOL doesn't seem to work for me at all. I know that unreliable WOL is a known issue with the chromebox but I am running a standalone and I used matt's script so I assume the coreboot firmware was installed. I am also making sure I use suspend instead of shutdown/hibernate but the WOL packet still doesn't seem to work. I have tried sending it via Yatse on android (2 different phones) and XBMC remote (joethefox) on iphone. no dice.. the chromebox stays suspended until I hit the power switch or press a key on the keyboard. Any ideas where I can look or how I can troubleshoot this further?

Again thanks to everyone in the thread but matt in particular for all the hard work.

Re the Xbox 360 Controller:
I rebooted, plugged in the controller and generated a log, reviewed it, then unplugged the controller and tried a different one, then ran the log again -> http://sprunge.us/PUaY

[38276.594764] usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
[38744.745115] usb 1-2: USB disconnect, device number 4
[38746.926368] usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd

I assume from the above that it's clearly detecting my controllers without error... they just aren't working for some reason. Would appreciate any advice or guidance you can offer but I assume I need to head over to the OE forums to resolve this one?

WOL issue:
As you can see from the junk in my log, I got the WOL working and tested it a bunch of times. For anyone else wrestling with this Matt was 100% spot on... Yatse keeps old MAC addresses and the iphone remote does not store the MAC address... so I created a new profile for yatse and manually typed in the MAC on the iphone and now all good.

just upgraded from my vintage but very well used ATV1 with crystalbuntu to the ASUS -CB - (M004U), the only mod I added was an extra 2gig memory card in the open slot. I set it up stand alone as its a replacement for the family's main XBMC box.

set up was very easy and took about 30 minutes

the Turtle beach USB digital audio adapter as per the WIKI works great and does pass DD and DTS to my 5.1 receiver via SPDIF

I "borrowed" my sons PS3 - bluetooth DVD remote and it works - good - plug and play.

I also have the asus i5 chromebox and I decided to try out the dual boot ubuntu and chrome os. Everything went fine with the script and it is all set up and working except bluetooth doesn't work in ubuntu. It works under chrome os but under ubuntu it says there's no bluetooth adaptor found. Has anyone else done the dual boot with the asus i5 and had this no bluetooth adaptor found problem?

there is no Asus i5 ChromeBox to my knowledge, do you mean i3? The celeron and i3 are identical hardware wise outside of the CPU/GPU. Perhaps the bluetooth adapter is disabled by default in Ubuntu? There's no reason it shouldn't work properly.
