| ! OpenELEC multi-boot install
| |
| |-
| |
| | The easiest way is to add a new drive just for OpenElec and install OpenElec to it with the installer. But if you want to SHARE ONE DRIVE with other boots, DO NOT DO THAT :-) Do this instead:
| |
| * On an existing refind-booted system, set up two new ext4 partitions
| |
| ** one about 2GB in size, labeled [SYSTEM], and marked as bootable
| |
| ** the other with 10GB or more, labeled [STORAGE]
| |
| ** [http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Manual_Installation prep the drives] (no journal, ssd trim)
| |
| * download openelec and mount; there are a couple ways:
| |
| ** get the img and install to a thumb
| |
| ** get the img and mount (see below)
| |
| * Set up OE drives to mount in other OSes to /openelec-system and /openelec-storage
| |
| /dev/disk/by-label/SYSTEM /openelec-system ext4 noatime 0 0
| |
| /dev/disk/by-label/STORAGE /openelec-storage ext4 noatime 0 0
| |
| * copy target/KERNEL and target/SYSTEM to SYSTEM
| |
| cp OpenELEC_img/target/KERNEL /openelec-system/
| |
| cp OpenELEC_img/target/SYSTEM /openelec-system/
| |
| * set up UEFI boot
| |
| ** subl /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf (and add this block)
| |
| # MDM Trying this, from: http://openelec.tv/forum/64-installation/70783-how-to-efi-booting-openelec-on-new-pc-s-nuc-s

| |
| | NOTE: I have the image already on a white stick with red lettering... anyway...
| |
| * Get the latest dev version (stable didn't work for me although this may change)
| |
| * [http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/HOW-TO:Installing_OpenELEC/Creating_The_Install_Key dd it onto a thumb]
| |
| * reboot and select to boot to the thumb in BIOS
| |
| * when the boot: line comes up, type "live" to get run a live Kodi rather than run the crufty old installer

| Clone a Pi
|
The BEST thing to do is to copy the MicroSD from Carambola (marked with a black 'O'):
- open a terminal so we can watch the MicroSD /dev/sd{#} assignments
sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
- take the carambola MicroSD card out of the Pi and put it into an Anker hub (gets less hot than the small MicroSD sleeves - and it WILL get hot!)
- put another new MicroSD card into another Anker hub
- open another terminal
dcfldd bs=4M if=/dev/sd{Letter of carambola} of=/dev/sd{Letter of new card}
- They will get HOT... I don't know how to make sure they don't get TOO hot yet... cross your fingers I guess...
- Drop the new card into the new Pi, boot
- set up a new config folder
- rm ~/config
- cd development/config
- cp -rp carambola lime && git add lime
- cd ~ && ln -s development/config/lime config
- change /etc/hostname
- change name of exfat "share" partition
exfatlabel /dev/disk/by-label/carambola_share lime_share
- edit /etc/fstab to update partition name
- (optional) change the uuid of partitions as desired (otherwise you may get kernel/userspace warnings about conflicts when mounting more than one card in an ubuntu host) - note that I've never actually done this...

Install Group Policy Editor from an admin Powershell console:
@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
pause
Run Group Policy Editor to disable restarts:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Configure Automatic Updates
(o) Enabled
[2] Notify for download and auto install? Or [3] Auto download and notify for install? Going with [3], we'll see.
(or...) (o) Enabled: No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
---
No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installation (just in case)
(o) Enabled
---
(reboot if you had to change it? or will that wipe it out? tbd...)
In a corporate environment, you should quit your job - I mean, you will likely have to redo this after ANY f'in reboot.

| Memtest boot disk
|
| It should be on red-on-black flash drive. Or, get a fresh download of USB zip, it includes a Windows exe to create the boot. Or use the ISO.
|
| Create and boot from Ubuntu USB
|
There should always be a boot USB for this in my set, but it needs recreation on new Ubuntu versions...
- Download the latest 64-bit Ubuntu desktop iso
- Format a USB drive as FAT (NOT exFAT or NTFS)
- Burn the iso to the USB, providing a GB of space (we want to add the nvidia driver once booted)
sudo usb-creator-gtk
- Boot with it
- On startup, select the USB EFI boot option in refind, select "Try Ubuntu", (on MBPro, hit e and add [ nouveau.noaccel=1] to grub line), hit F10 to start
- Once it is running, start System Settings, select Software, enable proprietary drivers
- Install, checking the [download as you go] and [install 3rd party stuff] boxes.

| Ubuntu set up networking
|
Install NetworkManager, as the wpagui UI sucks
- sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
- YOU MUST remove interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces so wpa gives them up to nm-applet
- add nm-applet to startup if needed - i don't think it is needed as it seems to start up automatically now - try rebooting first
