First off, I'm running a chromebox CN60 with openelec. My goal is to switch to libreelec.
I'm not sure if I'm in standalone or dual, but when the unit is turned on, it boots right to Kodi. I cannot use the system reset button as it does not seem to work, which makes me believe I'm in standalone mode.
I've tried booting up and pressing esc, but nothing happens. I have tried ctrl d and ctrl l without success. If a press ctrl alt f2 I get a Kodi disappears and I get a black screen.
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong, What I need to download and how to install it. Again, I'm knowledgeable to do many things, but I'm rusty and need some help. Thank you to any and everyone who offers help and advise.
You're running a standalone setup/firmware, based on the recovery button not working. Upgrading from OE to LE is the same as updating OE or LE -- download the LibreELEC 7.0.x update file (link on wiki page) and do a manual update as per the wiki instructions (ie, copy the .tar file into the 'update' folder on the Chromebox and reboot).
The key sequences CTRL+D, CTRL+L, CTRL-ALT-F2 are all applicable only to the stock ChromeOS firmware, which you don't have. Pressing ESC for the boot menu applies only when you have another boot device attached (ie, a USB installer), but you don't need that unless you want to do a clean install.
