  • Time Server issue

    I think we have this weeks winner of the most blacklisted/banned Kodi addons.

    With so much disregard for Team Kodi's efforts to do the right thing, it's sufficient to say that support to you stops here.

  • Linux.MulDrop Threat

    Quote

    They infect by hitting open ssh ports of the Raspberry Pi using the default password for the pi user, then changing it.

    Opening the SSH port in your router to the world is a vulnerability created by the user.

    Changing the password of LibreELEC is not even possible at this time.

    So it's a yes and no answer.

  • Dualboot Libreelec with w10

    You need:

    - Empty hard drive, or be prepared to wipe your drive.

    - USB stick with LibreELEC installation files

    - A bootable GParted Live USB stick or your favorite partition manager

    - Windows 10 installation media

    - A copy of EasyBCD (free for private use)


    Then:

    - Install LibreELEC from the USB stick (This will wipe your drive!!)

    - Restart the computer and boot the GParted device

    - You will see 2 ext4 partitions: LibreELEC boot (~512MB) and the LibreELEC storage (the rest of your drive's capacity)

    - Reduce the size of the storage partition to your prefered value (average 4-8 GB)

    - Create a NTFS partition for Windows (and preferably a 2nd NTFS partition for your Windows data)

    - Shut down the computer and remove the Gparted bootable media

    - Restart the computer with the Windows installation media and install Windows. Restart the computer.

    - Windows will now boot. Don't worry that there is no sign of LibreELEC at this point.

    - Install EasyBCD and start the program. Create a new boot entry. Select the Linux tab and Syslinux as bootloader. Your LibreELEC boot path will be displayed. Adjust all settings (names, default boot, timeout etc.) and save everything.

    - Restart your computer. Et voilá, the boot menu will be displayed and you can select between Windows 10 and LibreELEC.

  • Nvidia 1030 support

    I guess I haven't done my homework very well. The GT1030 apparently has no CUDA and no NVENC... :@

    No cuda okay, but I would have liked to do some hevc encoding every now and then.

    Not sure yet whether I'm going to return the gfx card.

    AMD Radeon HD 6480G Discrete-Class Graphics

    I knew of the HD 6450, but the HD6480 is new to me. The challenge with AMD graphics has been a big one for most of the time. Like a lottery: some work, some don't. It could also be that video card check isn't 100% perfect.

    Install the latest Generic build first, just to get the bigger system partition size. After that, you can use .tar files to update/downgrade more easily.

    I am wondering if the latest OpenELEC build 8.0.4 supports your box more properly as it recently changed to an X11 Modesettings GPU driver for AMD graphics. The discarded support for older Generic.x86_64 devices involves the older Nvidia legacy 304.x drivers AFAIK, where we now use the 340.x drivers.
