Hi,
Have happily run my RPI2 Libreelec for Kodi on a TV for some time. I know I must have got to know the OS when I first got it but have never pressed the shift button since.
I need to run an SMBserver (I use Macs and certain connections cannot be made) so thought I would use the RPI as I found a simple guide and have installed Samba on several machines so did not foresee any problems. LOL! What a disaster.
When I first tried to access the OS I was confronted with a NOOBS screen (v1.9 built March 2016. I can just about see the title and cannot see the language selector as the resolution seems out of kilter. I tried changing overscan settings and rebooting to check they were picked up but no change. In reading about NOOBS it appears only to be an installer and once run, should drop me into the OS. Is that right? Cos it isn't.
So I reinstalled Libreelec using NOOBS losing all my KODI settings. After resetting them all and rebooting to get to the OS, guess what`. It's Groundhog Day! I was right back where I started except the config file has changed in the overscan section (maybe others as well but it was overscan I was looking at). So presumably this is a slightly different version to the one I bought preloaded to the SD card from the Pi Hut.
Could someone help me:
1. Set the resolution so I can see the entire NOOBS information so I know what I can do with it?
2. Explain how I get past the NOOBS screen to a CLI so I can do some linux commands to install my Samba server?
Appreciate any advice you can offer.
