Yup that was it. Got everything working, and used the stand alone method. Thanks Matt.

Two questions:
Is there a proper way to shut down the box?
If I want to run apps like Netflix, and from time cast what's on Ipad, phone, chrome on computer, would the ChromeOS be able to do this? Should I Dual-boot ChromeOS and Libre instead?

1) from the Kodi power menu / shutdown option
2) no. Since Developer Mode is required to dual boot, you'd be limited to 480p Netflix, and ChromeOS doesn't function as a Chromecast receiver (only a source). You'd be better off using the Kodi 18 beta once release which will have Netflix integration via an addon and support 1080p/5.1 and picking up a cheap Chromecast.

Could do with some advice..

I have a chromebox I bought second hand already set up with Libreelec. I need to increase the system partition size to install 9.0, but im not sure how to do it

When it boots I don't see anything other than a black screen and the libreelec logo etc - can I assume it's running in standalone mode then? If so is there a procedure to follow to reset it up with a larger partition?

Thanks for any help.

easiest thing to do is to create fresh LE install media, boot it, and do a clean install, then update to the 9.0 test build

Thanks - will it just boot from usb, or is there a key press combination required.

depends - with the UEFI firmware, it should auto boot; with the Legacy firmware, it will prompt you to press ESC for boot menu, at which point you can select the USB

OK, it's the legacy bios and I get it to boot from usb, but then get this:

Any ideas? Thanks for all the help.

how did you create the USB? it's failing to boot, so seems like not created properly

I used crouton on my Chromebook - that will teach me to be too lazy to go upstairs and do it properly. Will re-create USB stick and test again.

should be fine as long as you're dd'ing the .img extracted from the .tar.gz download

I used the librelec tool, dd always makes me very nervous

Yep. New image got it, all installed and working well (seems to boot much quicker now too).

Thanks for all your help, both now and over the years!

My issue seems similar to the user above. I have a stand alone set up running version 7 but when I go to upgrade it downloads about 50% reboots and nothing happens. I figured I would do a fresh install but I don’t have the Chrome OS on there anymore. Is that an issue?

it's likely due to the original install being done with an older version that used a smaller system partition size. You can either boot a Linux USB and resize using gparted, or just boot fresh LibreELEC install media and do a clean install (like you would on any other PC). Not having ChromeOS/running my custom firmware means you treat the box like any other PC

Hi.

I Hope this the right forum for my problem.

Last week bought a used HP Chromebox CB1-020no with Libreelec 8.2.5 (Kodi 17).

I didn't recognize the boot image, its not the same as my old HP Chrombox CB1-030no with Libreelec 7.0.3 (Kodi 16) so i looked around and found seven different hard-disk partitions on my new Chromebox, on my old one i just got two.

So i tried a clean install with the program LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.Win32.exe to create a usb with the file LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.5.img.gz, no problem to create a boot disk on a 64gb USB3-stick.

The problem starts when i try to change boot device on my new Chromebox, it says press ESC, but nothing happens, just start up Libreelec as always. Tried many times and change the USB bort of the keyboard and the usbstick but no luck.

So the help i need is to install a standalone Libreelec 8.2.5.

So i will post pictures av all versions and numbers that shows during boot and all the hard-disk partitions.
