Note that the Chrome addon only exists for Generic x86_64 images. You won't find it for any ARM SoC devices.

I'm just getting started. Do I need Ubuntu desktop or can I build from a server edition?
There's no need for a Desktop version although it's often easier to work with(in) if the VM is on a laptop. If the build VM is on a remote device, minimal server images are fine and have lower overheads.

Have you disabled password auth (enabled key-only auth) in settings?

The upstream kernel has support for the PCIe version of the RTL8125B adapter, but I'm not sure about USB. If it's supported it will either just work out of the box we can add the kernel config needed for that. If it requires and out-of-tree driver, you are welcome to self-compile an LE image with it included. If that's not your thing, we're sorry, but we have been refusing to add more crappy Realtek drivers to our images for about 2.5 years now and have no plan to go back on the decision. Including more of their shitty drivers in a distro like CE which never bumps kernel version isn't much drama. In LE where the kenel bumps frequently and Realtek drivers break with every bump .. the novelty of hunting down patches wears off (some time ago).
NB: LE does not need "fastest" Ethernet speeds, although fast is never bad. We only need Ethenet to be "fast enough" and Gb is fast enough for 80GB disc rips, so it's not a high-demand topic. I've no idea about other 2.5Gb adapters, but we will have no issue enabling kernel config for any needed; under the same rules (in-kernel is good, out-of-tree is bad).

noggin Capacity in our build environment is reduced currently (one server offline) so frequency of builds is not "nightly" at the moment.

GUI apps are just a wrapper on "dd" so have a go with that from Terminal.app?

Old (out of date ciphers) PuTTY version?

I've submitted a backport, so if we spin another 10.x release is should be included.

It's hard to comment without seeing a UART boot log from the board (if you have one, please share it) but if the older image works, use it and then update via the .tar file in /storage/.update as normal. I've clean installed both N2 and N2+ recently without any issues, so I'm fairly sure there are no issues with the image. You do need the boot switch to the right? If petitboot is active (switch to the left) it will not boot, as HK are not interested to support modern u-boot with it.

Interesting - where is the best place to offer feedback on this, and help ?
I've pinged you some options in PM. It would be good to have your eyeballs on the text!

elonesna As long as the MAC address doesn't change flipping between Android and LE should work. The other option which I sometimes use in hotels is Ethernet tethering. LE exposes a wifi hotspot/tether in the GUI, but if you create /storage/.config/connman_main.conf from /etc/connman/main.conf and allow ethernet tethering you can connect a laptop to the Ethernet port on the box, which allows the laptop to share the boxes WiFi connection and complete any kind of registration process needed to get the LE box online. The only fiddly part is, you probably need to SSH into the box over WiFi to set the tether, and this is not always allowed, or (easier, if the device is an SBC) have a UART cable to get a local serial console. These days I'm travelling with a Radxa Zero in a flirc Pi Zero case which is both tiny, fast, and has GPIO pins exposed so I can run the board from the +5V on the UART cable and access the UART console easily.

Current nightlies are GBM images with no Xorg which means no nVidia support. At the moment there is still a "Generic_Legacy" device that can be built in our codebase, but we are deliberately not building nightlies for it and hope to drop it before formal LE11 releases start. There are signs that nVidia is starting to get its sh1t together with respect to upstream standards, but there's still too many bits of jigsaw puzzle missing for nVidia support under GBM.

frakkin64 I had a crack at some 4K/HDR documentation earlier https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/4k-hdr

how can i install libreelec test 11 on emmc odroid N2
If you have a USB => eMMC module reader/writer board, connect the module and write the "odroid-n2.img.gz" directly to eMMC, then put the SPI switch to the right (so petitboot is not used) and power on the board. If you don't have the USB/eMMC converter, you will need to boot the N2 from an SD card first, then SSH into the console and download the image to the SD card, and use "emmctool" to write the LE image to the module (overwriting anything on eMMC).

See https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/5991 .. once it's merged the next nightly will support the card.

noobs for RPi4 is currently shipping 10.0.0 and we should update that to 10.0.1, but as we have not formally released LE10 for RPi2 yet (and RPi0 is deprecated) both of those currently point to LE 9.2.8 noobs .tar files.

Those are two of the best known mirror sites in Europe. No scam.
