LE11

  • i have a libreelec/windows/linux multiboot on my laptop.

    Will the *img.gz will overwrite my partition table beside using a normal *.tar update?

    Sorry, but i don´t want to do try + error :)

  • i have a libreelec/windows/linux multiboot on my laptop.

    on one disk ?

    How ?

    AFAIK, the LE installer removes all partitions on a disk and leaves no space, so I wonder how you made it (okay, partition resize and then), even since the window's installer (< Win 10) usually reclaims the first partition on the first disk for his self, what would iron the bootsector of LE ..., maybe somehow fixable, but... - don't know ! -

    if it's really a one disk system, I guess you got enough knowledge to have a backup and/or you're able to fix ironed bootsector ?

    I currently don't know all what the LE updater usually does, but -AFAIK- it update boot files too, at least the kernel image/bootloader files, but partitions ?

    what holds you off to try it in an virtual env, let say "virtual box" ?

  • thanks a lot for your reply.

    it seems that on my system with the multiboot it had no impact to update with the *.img.gz file.

    The update was working and the rest of the partitions are still there :)

    (I have installed it with 1.) libreelec, 2.) resizing HDD, 3.) installing windows 4.) installing Ubuntu with grub more or less without any issues)
