I suppose I might identify as a "command-line-phobic user" so I gave the Startup Disk Creator a whirl on my Mint 21.3 system and a bit of poking and prodding to make it work. Not quite as eloquent and simple as the LE Creator but does the job. Nice to always have a different path to the same destination.
Both "gunzip" and "dd" are available in file manager's right click menu's for .gz and .img on Gnome. Your base OS GUI install got all the tools for image writing.
Agreed.

In other news red Victorinox knife is severally lacking compared to kitchen knife or bottle opener. Remember to blame lack of controls in the car when you drive on red light.
If anybody knows, I'd be curious: what does SDC, Balena, Rufus, etc. have that dd lacks?
"Write to device and not to partition."
You probably won't like my answer about what was lacking in dd command. There is nothing wrong with writing images using dd command on Linux.
Just curious if LE can handle gracefully the PowerOff command scheduled from BIOS as opposed to 2-step shutdown from GUI?
Same as any operating system handles pulling the plug. You will be left with file systems that require file system check.
SSD are not spinning.
If your fans are power managed, they will run at reduced speed when extra cooling is not required.
Computer hardware is more likely to experience extra wear and tear during power up than during 24x7 operation.
What might I be missing?
Make sure that /media/mike/3731-3564 is not mounted.
umount /media/mike/3731-3564
Write to device and not to partition.
sudo dd if=LibreELEC-RPi5.arm-11.0.6.img of=/dev/sda bs=4MI don't know if I'm in the right place here.
I have the LibreElec 11.0.6 image running on my Raspberry Pi 5.
Unfortunately I can't get a browser installed.
For example, how can I install google-chrome-stable-122.0.6261.111-1_amd64.deb via the terminal (ssh)?
amd64 is 64bit intel/amd architecture. Not 64bit ARM.
You expect to install software compiled for different architecture and for different operating system.
Generic Libreelec builds are not set to run graphical browsers since they started using same setup in v11 for all their archs. Kodi is available as package in Debian and Ubuntu ARM builds. Just run full OS and add Kodi from their package repos.
Even if NordVPN have arm version, they probably don't expect to be run on appliance level OS.
Maybe it has to do with the Conexant CX20632 HDA sound chip in the HP device that is maybe not that common. Any hints where to submit that issue that the device quirks are added upstream?
I am not hardware engineer, but I would suspect that HDMI audio is not about passing through audio from sound card. Your HDMI sound is controlled by video card driver.
Other thing, PC don't want to start without keyborad connected. I found nothing about that in BIOS. Is it possible to solve it?
BIOS screen - Left column, second menu option
"Standard CMOS features" -> "Halt On"
Based on manual it boots without keyboard in default bios setting.
Audio not working both on HDMI and audio, would mean that you have two faulty components on the board or one faulty component in front of the screen. F12 version adds next gen CPU support. Your kit should not work at all, if you put ivy Bridge CPU in it on F7 BIOS.
If battery is dead, you would see it by kit not saving its clock.
Display MoreFor right now, i'm doing a test run, so i know how to do it for the rest of my videos.
On a USB drive, i created a folder name MOVIES/ a sub-folder inside name as the movie title/ inside of the sub-folder is the movie file and also the movie poster.
I don't keep my Raspberry Pi 4 connected online at all. So, as for the naming of the artwork i tried what they say here https://kodi.wiki/view/Movie_artwork but i just don't get it. I tried this.
WHITE LIGHTNING (1973)-poster.png
the artwork poster and that didn't do up when connected the drive to Kodi
But, i set the Set Content Choose Information Provider and selected Local Information Only. and i selected Local Information Only it came up saying .nfo.
So, do i have to put the artwork in .nfo
if so, how to do so
Thats the only way i use.
Switch to manual update, set update channel and you can upgrade in UI.
Both depend on x window and freetube depends on GTK. Libreelec does not support x window in generic build.
From some site on the webs. Try guessing which.

Your questions answered
Will my Raspberry Pi 4 power supply work with Raspberry Pi 5?
Raspberry Pi 5 is a higher-performance computer than Raspberry Pi 4, and you may have problems using an under-powered supply. We recommend a high-quality 5V 5A USB-C power supply, such as the new Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply.

x Volt * y Amp = z Watt
5 * 5 = 25 Watt
Disregard the previous comment as this code worked when using a different website. Thanks!
You could fake user agent string and referer in curl, if website expects regular browser opening URL and URL being accessed by clicking link on their site.
curl http://m3u4u.com/xml/xxx --referer "http://m3u4u.com" --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0"Your request would still stand out as it won't have session and other cookies and does not fetch referer page and all its objects.
Redirect stdout and stderr output to log file or files.
x x * * * /usr/bin/wget http://xxx.com/xxx/xxx -O /storage/xxx/file.gz >/storage/temp.log 2>/storage/temp.errLibreelec wget is not regular wget binary. If wget does not work in cron, try curl.
/usr/bin/curl http://xxx.com/xxx/xxx > /storage/xxx/file.gz"file name constantly changes every time it is downloaded."
Name can change only if wget refuses to overwrite existing file and creates new one, or that URL is redirector or data generator, which sets output filename in request headers and you are downloading without -O option. wget -O option overrides file name set by server.
Zobi - Does the n100 have HDMI-CEC support?... that would be a deal breaker for me...
N100 is CPU. Not motherboard where all the HDMI logic would be with integrated video. Next you will ask ad troll, if your car radio complies with CO2 emission standards.
On a thread about ARM based low power device some decided to promote latest gen Intel products that are overkill for Libreelec requirements.
Well... I currently run Libreelec from an 8 years old Raspberry pi 2. It still works fine, but I wanted to update (speed, 4K etc), and the RPi 5 seemed a great choice when it came out (+ I'm still a great fan of RPi !)
But then I read the comments on N100 mini PC, and I have to admit that, in my situation, I agree N100 seems a better choice than RPi 5...
Plenty of fanless celeron based mini pcs on the market and you seem to agree on promoting one specific vendor and model.
You are talking about thing that is happening since v11.0.0. I think nano is impacted by same ridiculous screen redraw too. You probably got typo in "LE1`2.0.3" or time machine.
