What sort of keyboard?
If I have helped you or increased your knowledge, click the 'thumbs up' button to give thanks :) (People with less than 20 posts won't see the "thumbs up" button.)

Confirmed as not working with developer screen.

A wired keyboard for the setup process will do the job.

well my wired did not work either, and the k400 plus is listed as working.
how far do you mean when you say dont log in? is it when the email request, or before?

thanks for the quick help!

Hmm, I'm sorry, I've really missed the "plus" option.
Does it work at all? Can you type anything in the login window?
Reply

the problem is when I type ctrl alt f2, nothing happens.

most likely the function keys are secondary and require the use of the FN key as well (so CTRL-ALT-FN-F2) -- my MS media keyboard is the same way

I just tried to install the latest LibreElec nightly LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0-Milhouse-20160701212103-#0701-g0eb99ab.tar and I get an error that the system FAT partition is too small. How do I get around this? This is the first nightly to cause this problem. Looks like the Flash (dev/sda1) partition is a tad too small. I'm not a linux guru so what is the easiest way to resize this partition/resolve this issue?

cat /proc/partitions

8 0 15638616 sda
8 1 247808 sda1
8 2 15373312 sda2

FYI, I am in standalone mode.

support for Milhouse's builds is in his thread, where I know this issue has been discussed at length Smile

To make the partition bigger it was easiest just to get a Kodi backup. Downloaded the LibreELEC 7.90.002 Alpha image and windisk32.exe to a USB thumb drive. Reboot Kodo. Hit escape. Quick installed LibreELEC and performed a restore. By default the new images create a 512MB Flash partition when in the past it was 256 MB...

Thanks.

Just installed the LE 7.90 alpha and am loving the new Krypton interface. I'm having some trouble getting 7.1 audio passthrough to my receiver though. I do have my audio settings on passthrough, and marked my receiver as capable of all audio formats, but when I play a DTS-HD movie or DD 5.1 tv show, my receiver doesn't recognize the format. I can even hear Kodi is doing some audio processing, as the pitch goes wonky on play/pause. Anyone else having this problem on their chromebox?

Edit: never mind, solved! In Settings --> Player --> Video --> Playback section, I had "Sync playback to display" enabled, which disables passthrough and also resamples audio, thus the wonkiness.

Now I'm wondering, which settings are optimal for the chromebox in the Processing section? E.g. render method, hardware acceleration, etc. Thanks!
