Did you try to add this config:

Code

Section "Device"
  Identifier "card0"
  Driver "intel"
  Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
  BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf file?

There is no such directory. only X11 with the following files:

OpenELEC-T440p:~ # ls /etc/X11/
xorg-i915.conf           xorg-nvidia.conf
xorg-nvidia-legacy.conf  xorg-radeon.conf

Besides, I guess /etc/ is mounted as read only, as it is part of the compressed image that gets mounted at boot time.

Any suggestion?

Which issues still do exist in Windows 10?

Only if you build LibreELEC yourself.

In addition with local time set all three OS will try to correct the RTC on daylight saving time change.

I do not seem to find one of the articles listing the issues for Windows system and UTC.
One of the things I have read is that you need to disable automatic time adjustment, and need a registry hack to set it up, so it may not be fully supported.

In any case, I have tried the UTC time hack some time ago in my quad boot system without full success.
Windows kept showing odd times.

Now that I have figured out the proper setting for Linux I would like to keep it this way.

A simpler approach would be to select a different time zone that matches my local time in RTC.

Quote from mglae

IMO not possible due to read only /etc file system.

Think about changing Windows to UTC.

Have already thought of that, things is that Windows apparently is now 100% ready for UTC time, so I'd rather switch my Linux boots to RTC.
I guess it may be possible to symlink the required directory to be able to modify the clock setting.

Will give it a try and post results.

Thanks!

Hi all, I am currently using LibreELEC in my notebook in a multi boot environment. It is well known the issues with Windows 10 and UTC time.
I have managed to switch to RTC in my Xubuntu partition, but am looking to switch my LibreELEC one.
Can you please help me on what to change to have LE work with RTC instead of UTC (for the hardware clock).
Otherwise everyone I boot to Windows after LE my time is off by 3 hours.

Am using the x86 version.

Thabk you and regards.

valdi74 thanks, I've included it in my Generic test builds.

Thank you!
I can confirm that it works perfect on my ThinkPad t450.

Am still missing the brightness control.

Auto negotiation on Ethernet is usually quite reliable and should be trusted.

So if both ends, the S905 box and the switch/router, support 1Gbit/s (and both really have to) it's likely bad quality Ethernet cabling. So try a different cable first.

Disabling auto negotiation and forcing a higher speed is not advised.

If you really want to you have to do it on both ends, that means on the switch/router as well. If you can only do it on one end, forget about it.

On how to do it, ethtool can do it, use google to search for it's documentation. As for your switch/router, google will help too, if it's possible at all.

But be prepared for it to fail, at best you'll likely have an unstable connection with a lot of packet loss, most likely the connection will fail completely.

I second the cabling issue.
I was having this problem and upon close inspection one of the RJ45 Jack's was not properly crimped. After rebuilding both ends (JIC) everything got fixed a 1 gbps.

I compiled LibreElec grom git master with "bloatware" Synaptics driver Here is my patch with libs: LibreELEC_synaptics_patch.tar.bz2
I did it the first time in my life and I do not know if it will work I will not have my Toshiba laptop for a few days, so I can't test the patch by myself. You can test it on your ThinkPad if you want, or wait for my tests.
I wrote small shell script to apply my patch to Milhouse build. You can set variable BUILD_ARCH to any Milhouse build.

Bash

I am quite illiterate in terms of compiling software, so I guess I will have to wait for your tests.
In any case, I dislike the idea to set aside from "official" builds doing my own or using a different one.

You need the .gzip file for upgrade.
It happened to me and I solved it this way.

Problem is lack of synaptics driver in LE:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=269815&pid=2460825#pid2460825

It looks like it won't be fixed, as Synaptics driver is considered "bloatware".

Have you checked sorting order options?

Have you tested your network using iperf3?
For LibreELEC there is an addon, other systems have their own compiles.

You should contact the Addon author for support/troubleshooting.
Have you isolated the problem installing just the addon from a fresh install?

Please do not post for help if using banned add-ons.
You will get none.

Do a clean install and retest.

After .009 my development efforts will be focused on Krypton, although all important fixes will be backported to Jarvis builds if possible.

In the meantime there's also a Krypton build to play with.

[emoji106] Thanks for your restless support!

What about a cron job to search for files on external mount points and queue them for playing?
I have no idea in coding, but seems like a workaround.

Can you please post the logs as directed in the wiki?

After failing to get HID mapper to work. I have given up. I think I'll try to send it back. I thank you for your perseverance. The fact that I will probably never get the voice to work in SPMC, also helped make my mind up.

I have never used the one I bought, probably because I dislike the new buttons layout.
Am quite happy with my Original Mele F10.
