A few weeks back I got a 2gb RAM chromebox from best buy and was running ubuntu/chromeOS no problem. I then found I could get a 4gb RAM chromebox for a few bucks more, so I returned the 2gb chromebox. Now that I have installed the script just like before XBMC seems to be lagging pretty bad. It takes awhile for the add ons to start downloading, some of them will actually freeze. When I repartitioned the hard drive I typed in 7gb...is this slowing it down? Ubuntu seems to be running pretty slow too. I am just trying to use XBMC, nothing special. Would OpenELEC be a better option?

I tried the script and works perfectly with a standalone ubuntu installation! thank you very much!
There is just one thing or problem that i'm having, maybe you can help me with that.
Sometimes I use a monitor, and some times I don't.
The chormebox only boots the OS (Ubuntu) if a have something plugged to the HDMI port. In others words if I don't plug the monitor, the mini PC doesn't boot.
Once ths system starts I can unplug the monitor and it keeps working.
Is there any way to solve this?
I want to boot the chomebox without a monitor plugged to the HDMI port

I'm looking to install the standalone coreboot/openelec option. Just want to confirm that this will work fine on the HP version of the chromebox? Just double checking because in the screenshot it states
'WARNING: This firmware is only valid for the Asus Chromebox. Use on any other device will almost certainly brick it.'
Many thanks, can't be to careful!

Just to say thankyou for making this process as simple as it is - all done and dusted and all seems good so far!
