the RTL8822BU WLAN driver is missing from LibreELEC, but it's working fine here with the master branch. Is there a way to have it added to Libreelec, officially?

You can send PR but LibreELEC doesn't like any such drivers much.

Libreelec fails to start because the addon (in my case service.lcdd) is enabled but not installed.

So probably this means that storage-addons-copy.service script is not triggered or doesn't exist.

Yes, probably missing addon is the reason.

Seems pre_install() or any other function can't create addon anymore and that's the main issue. You need to build addon manually before making image like

PROJECT=... ./scripts/create_addon system-tools
PROJECT=... make image

You can check if all the files are available with

ls -l build.LibreELEC*/image/system/usr/share/kodi/storage_addons
ls -l build.LibreELEC*/image/system/usr/lib/systemd/system/storage-addons-copy.service
ls -l build.LibreELEC*/image/system/usr/lib/libreelec/storage-addons-copy

Seems there was some changes to build system which prevents package to be build because it doesn't build for me too. Will look again how to solve the issue.

Before dd stop kodi at least.

systemctl stop kodi
dd ......

Also you could make one temp file and fill it with zeros. After whole space is used remove it and run dd. Then final size of the backup should be smaller.

Java is easy.

Maybe it is the same issue as here: Upgrade LE 8.2.5 to 9.0.0: Wifi connected but no NTP link => SSL Certificate error !

Problem is very clear with a solutions.

For using cacert.pem you must be sure that name or IP address match the cert and server.

Adding |verifypeer=false in sources.xml should also work. Post kodi debug log in case it doesn't.

/dev/sdb and not /dev/sdb1.

dd if=LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-9.0.2.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M

Maybe look Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki]

Then I assume on every other forum I visit spam is deleted by mods as soon they appear. Because I don't see it anymore.

Last few days here are really bad in this regards.

Quote from Da Flex

That Chinese spam is a pain in the ass.

It just shows bad forum sw or at least spam protection. I don't see as much spam on other forums I visit. There is zero spam on a most of them actually.

Not sure if this build issue was ever fixed on LE build system or not (didn't got any response anymore).

Sources are download when needed. If some file is missing build fails.

Here Python-2.7.16.tar.xz can be still downloaded from python server.

I meant LibreELEC packages. Which one is failing for you?

Seems samba can't be build anymore for me?

Only what is missing is downloaded. Most of the packages I have for ages.

Did you tried package above? Because most build things are done automatically and user doesn't need to cover it.

Works here as before on LE commit
