My thanks once again to the Libreelec team for making a lean and mean Kodi solution. In the meantime, I've now got a perfectly functioning refurbished Kodi/Libreelec based HTPC, which I've now customised to my preferences.īonus: much better Audio quality as the mainboard used has much better onboard sound than the previous positively ancient board. Perhaps when there comes a time I no longer have HW available to retask and I look to a PI based (or similar) Kodi / Libreelec install. Herrmeier thanks for the suggestion but not applicable in my situation as I retask older PC HW for my HTPC builds. I'll be sure to test it as with the DD option mentioned above. I've used it in the past, but had forgot about it since 'discovering' Ventoy which handles all the isos / imgs that I've deployed with it to date. MatteN honestly I hadn't considered Etcher, don't I feel a fool. Installing Kodi onto a usb flash drive using Kodibuntu live dvd and one usb stick NO HARD DRIVE. Other than that my thanks to the team for providing a quick and easy method of installing Kodi.Ĭhewitt interesting, not being a developer I know nothing of the challenges you folks face in developing a cross distro tool I hope you folks find a satisfactory solution down the road.ĭD is something I'm familiar with, so I'll look into that. ![]() It would be nice to have the Linux based media creator available once again as needing to install Windows on a VM or otherwise for the less than 10 minutes task of creating install media is I feel an unnecessary annoyance. While not entirely problematic, and not a stumbling block per se. The end result an effortless, fast, and successful install of libreelec on my freshly 'refurbished' HTPC build. The solution for me was to install Windows 10 into a VM then run the tool. That failed as installing or booting a live instance of libreelec would not progress beyond a certain point via Ventoy. This is the method I usually use when installing from an image personally or when doing installs for others. Imagine my surprise to see that a Linux based installation media tool is listed as (currently not available).įirstly I attempted to install libreelec from a downloaded and uncompressed image copied to a Ventoy USB. I don't run MS Windows on any of my systems for any reason whatsoever, and haven't done so for years. It's been some time since I have needed to do an install. ![]() I run Kodi / Libreelec on retasked older hardware so it is put to good use. I recently, (yesterday), needed to rebuild my Kodi box due to a hardware failure. Now to the availability of a Linux USD-SD creator. The downloaded file is compressed with bz2 and tar compression, so you’ll need to use a compression software. I'm not new to Kodi / Libreelec howerver, though admittedly not an expert as I haven't had the need to tinker or do deep dives into configs and the like. If you are using Windows, just run the application file (createinstallstick) and choose the drive letter where your USB stick is located and the software will make a bootable USB stick for you. If no encryption is involved, you can re-install non-destructively too & not lose user data ( system directories will get erased so any data in those directories will be lost).Hi folks I'm new to the forum having just registered today. To re-install a supported system over a unsupported OS, you won’t need the password unless encryption was used, and you’re trying to retain some of the data. The reboot will cause your running OS to shutdown & finally pass control to firmware for a warm boot and your system firmware will bootstrap whatever device it’s settings have programmed to boot ![]() There is the reboot command which will reboot a machine, however as to how to boot specific ports/devices, that is hardware and firmware specific, and thus a hardware question. Ubuntu has reserved the year format releases for snap only products, and Lubuntu has never had a snap only release so there is no Lubuntu 14. ![]() The oldest supported release of Lubuntu is currently Lubuntu 20.04 LTS. I picked up a Raw mini Kodi media player that’s running Lubuntu 14 and I wonder if someone can tell me how to install the newest version if I don’t know the Linux password? I think I can get to the terminal so is there a boot command to use for the USB memory stick? Thanks.
