Installing Into Lakka and other LibreELEC Based Distros

Installing Into Lakka and other LibreELEC Based Distros

NOTE

First, you're not really supposed to do this, you're supposed to recompile a new release with what you want in it.

Second, this really isn't installing, it is just coping files around.

Third, there are security risks as these never get updated, but I don't really expect most people run LibreELEC stuff in production environments.

Datto Alto 3 Info

Datto is an American cybersecurity and data backup company. There are a variety of NUC-style Mini-PCs floating around on the upcycle market.

Many of these are BIOS password locked, the default password is R@str.

Per neko-noire on reddit, these units are rebrand of the AsRock Beebox-S Series (Kaby Lake), so you can flash the BIOS on them.

Intel Centrino 6300 Wifi Antenna Configuration & Testing

There are a variety of these Intel Centrino Wifi Adapters on the market, though I couldn't find any useful information as to what the best antenna configuration is. Do I need three antenas? Can I use one antenna? Who knows!

I did a little bit of testing to attempt to determine the answers.

These units are PCIe Half MiniCard with three antenna IPEX MHF1 ports.

System Brief

#!/usr/bin/env node
// Forces the audio card and profile in Linux
// tested on Mint, should work on other distros which use pulse audio.

// Requires pulseaudio and node installed in your path.
// apt install pulseaudio-utils pulseaudio

Mint UEFI / Windows Legacy Dual Boot

Mint UEFI / Windows Legacy Dual Boot

Short guide to dual booting where Windows gets installed as Legacy, for whatever reason, instead of UEFI. I was having issues dual booting from my Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac the os-prober command would never pick-up Windows and put it into grub for me to boot from. Eventually I figured out that Windows was being installed as Legacy instead of UEFI. Even setting the BIOS to use UEFI only, Windows was getting installed as Legacy for some reason.

My setup is:

  • Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac
  • Linux Mint 20.3 on 256GB M.2 SSD
  • Windows 10 on 128GB SATA SSD
