Linux ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21]
(2019-02-07, 22:22)DashDevil Wrote: Hi all,

first of all: Thanks to Matt for the amazing work with the EZ script. I'm using an Asus Chromebox (Haswell) since 2 years now with the standalone custom coreboot firmware. With the change to libreelec 9 I also updated to the latest coreboot/SeaBIOS. So far the chromebox worked very good. 

Recently I switched the box to another room with no wired network connection available. Therefore I switched to wifi and unfortunately this introduced 2 issues to my setup:
1. Wifi connection is not reliable after resume from standby mode. Whenever I resume from standby the box is not able to reconnect to the wifi, in the libreelec connections menu it says 'failed'. After some time I can manually reconnect to the wifi. Normal reboot or cold start always leads to a proper and reliable network connection. I tested a lot with no success: 2,4ghz vs. 5ghz, router restart, reinstall of kodi on chromebox
2. Restarting or cold booting the chromebox now sometimes leads to the situation that the box get stuck on the Kodi startup screen

Furthermore the libreelec wifi settings menu doesn't seem stable. Sometimes I don't see the available wifis anymore, sometimes the box gets stuck and restarts kodi after a while.

Before switching to wifi everything was fine. The router is quite close to the box (1 wall inbetween), when connected the signal quality is very good.

I never read anything about unreliable wifi on those chromeboxes with libreelec. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks guys,
Dash
 is this an occasional thing, or an every time thing? I just did a clean install of 9.0 on my Haswell Dell box (w/latest UEFI firmware), and did 5 or so suspend/resume sequences without any issue.  What I would do is wait until you're able to manually reconnect, then ssh in and look at the kernel log (dmesg) and see what's going on when resuming from suspend -- there's likely something about the wifi connection there that will provide more info
