Hello All, I have a BACE-3160. Haven't deployed any Windows OS, only tried with Linux distros as that's my target OS. Tried latest Fedora and Ubuntu distros. The Brix' BIOS seems to be the latest one - on Gigabyte site it has only 2 versions of BIOS.

I work my computers pretty hard and after about three years I usually find something is dying. If it isn't the hard disk or DVD drive it's generally something else that has finally worn out.

My current Compaq 1040 is more than four years old and has been a problem for quite a while. I'm not well off any more and the budget limits me to between $300 - $400 Aussie dollars. I also find having a laptop on the desk and trying to use it with a dual monitor setup is a real pain – so when I could not put the inevitable off any more, I bought a low end Brix. I always buy low end processors.

I don't play computer games. I browse the web, play music and music videos, write simple programs (usually BASH scripts), and do a lot of photo editing and a little video editing. Much of the last two are either from the command line or using scripts I have customised for my own requirements. And of course there's the usual hack work. I design some web sites for businesses and maintain some blogs and do the usual word processing and spreadsheeting. I also only buy cheap computers.

A couple of weeks into living with the BRIX and there was one annoying problem. The thing doesn't shutdown. When choosing to shutdown, everything seems fine, then it simply reboots. It was not happening initially but after a Linux kernel update it started happening. A bit of googling shows it is not only me with this issue, although it is not clear if it is happening with all processor variations.

At any rate, with the Brix BACE-3150 it is happening. Fdor now, the only solution is to be sure to hit the main power switch (at the adapter) as soon as everything seems to have shut off. Otherwise, the light on the Brix comes back on and it reboots. Something I will mention on closing is that KODI under Linux Mint suffers the same shutdown problem as KODI under Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi. If you choose exit, instead of dropping back to Linux, it just hangs the system, often at a black screen. Choosing Exit often does the same. So I find the best what to get out of KODI is to choose a reboot, then either work in Linux, or shutdown from Linux.

The other option is to go into KODI System > System and choose to run in Windowed mode, then close the KODI window. Be sure though to swap KODI back into Full Screen mode while you are running video or it will not play smoothly.

Some others can play music, play movie files, show WUM (a WiiFlow User Manual), and allow you to browse the internet. What are WiiFlow Plugins? Download wiiflow 43 e. They come with the modified dol and matching plugin config file (.ini). WiiFlow Plugins are mostly homebrew emulator apps modified to be used by WiiFlow and return to WiiFlow.
