Old laptops have never been target hardware for the project so we'll probably skip the opportunity to add support. Self build and figure out the changes; then push them to a GitHub repo so we can see what's required. Best case if it's simple we might consider adding it. Worst case anyone else who ever needs the same driver and find this thread can go see how it's done .. or they know who to beg an image from

You need approx 2.5x the size of the update file free to perform an update. If you get stuck you can unpack the .tar file on another device and copy the KERNEL (or kernel.img) and SYSTEM file over manually. This avoids the need to store the .tar file + uncompressed tar file on the same (full) disk and you can usually get away with the update. Some spring cleaning is never a bad idea tho

"Spins up" and "has enough power to be used" are two entirely different things.

That's not a debug log (so all the python debug output is missing) and there's no evidence of you opening the settings addon and taking a backup in the log. Not much I can do with that.

I'm not sure why you created a Raspberry Pi image because you don't have a Raspberry Pi, and you posted looking for the older kszaq images (which moved server) and I've given you updated URLs.

FYI, I'm planning to add wireguard support to our kernels once it gets merged.

It might work. It may add new problems (as playback on S912 devices is on the edge of acceptable anyway). You need to go experiment instead of asking hypothetical questions.

Only files under /storage are writeable on LE, including the sqlite DB files where Kodi stores ratings for items in the Video Library. To remove all ratings you will need to script something that accesses the MyVideos* DB and removes values for media entries.

Have you enabled bluetooth under services in the LE settings addon?

As long as you're having fun creating something .. you're doing the right thing

^ Ignore the fact that this is NUC video; it clearly shows the installer workflow so you can figure out when to press enter, when to press left, then enter etc. to complete the installer. The only different part will be the screen where you select the target device, but if only the SSD is inside the laptop there should only be one option present and no need to navigate.

The alternative is a manual install. Create two ext4 partitions with a GPT scheme; first must be 512MB or 1GB in size, the second will be the remaining space on the disk. Install syslinux to the drive. Copy the contents of the USB installer stick to the first partition and edit extlinux so ensure the default boot option is run mode (not installer). After that put the SSD back in the laptop and it should just boot up into LE.

I'd step back a level. Why are you self-compiling? .. i.e. what changes are you looking to make to an image?

Are you using the Kodi backup addon (which is nothing to do with us, and you need to ask questions to its creator via the Kodi forums) or the backup function in the LE settings addon (in which case we'd like to see a Kodi debug log please)?

What are you compiling on?

Not unless you figure out how to edit files inside a read-only filesystem. There's a method for using a custom connman_main.conf and you can configure the existing (compiled) featureset using connmanctl, but anything more that that requires a custom OS image.

^ those are our current build options. The only reason we build without DNS proxy is the Kodi system info screen then shows 127.0.0.1 and we got bored of dealing with users who think their DNS is broken and claim this is the root cause of whatever other issue they're experiencing.

Odd. Can you pastebin a Kodi debug log.
