An easy to use application to create bootable USB and SD card installation media has been on the staff wish-list for a long long time, so we are delighted to reveal the official “LibreELEC USB-SD Creator” app for Linux, macOS and Windows.
一、什么是Armbian？Armbian是单板计算机（SBCs）的一个基本操作系统平台，其他的项目也可以使用它作为基础。专门用于ARM开发板的轻量级Debian或Ubuntu(Ubuntu也是派生自Debian)每一个系统都可以通过Armbian Build Tools进行编译，组装和优化它拥有强大的构建和软件开发工具，我们可以进行 custom builds还拥有.
The app has four clearly marked steps to guide you through downloading the latest official LibreELEC image for your hardware and writing it to removable media, and checking “show all” enables selection of previous releases and current Alpha/Beta preview builds. You can also load a local image file, allowing the app to be used with previously downloaded images, or development and community created images that are not hosted on our official download servers.
- 2.1 Create MacOS Virtual Machine In Virtualbox. Open virtualbox, click New button to create a new.
- This step is independent of your OS choice, the downloaded image can be used on any OS. However, the image is specific to the target hardware, as its name should reflect it. Download Lakka for CuBox-i / HummingBoard 400MB.
The Windows version is compiled 32-bit and should run on Windows XP and newer. The macOS app is 64-bit and should run on 10.9 (Mavericks) and newer. The Linux app is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions and should run on Ubuntu 14.04 and newer, and other Debian derivatives. The app checks for updates when started and displays a pop-up message if a newer version is available.
The wiki team have created instructions for the app, and we have added a forum area where you can ask for support, provide feedback, and report issues.
Please use the links below to download and test the app!
LibreELEC would like to credit our neighbours and distro collaborators at RasPlex as the original source of the app’s code, and our own @vpeter for his efforts evolving it into the work of art that you can download from today.
Enjoy! 🙂
PAM on Mac OS X
As you may know, PAM is used everywhere on modern UNIX systems. Linux and Mac OS X use it to authenticate users. If you are a Mac user who likes to install weird stuff and edit PAM, you may have discovered that PAM under Mac OS X is totally undocumentated. Really, the only thing that you can have from Apple is a man page. You can't see which services use which file in /etc/pam.d/. This is a big pain when you want to edit stuff on your Mac without fearing being locked out.
Fortunately, there are some services that can be discovered easily. /etc/pam.d/sudo is obviously the file for the sudo utility. If you want to edit stuff about it, just edit this file and don't forget to keep a root tab opened if you mess it up. The same for sshd. Just edit the file.
But I wanted to discover how to modify the login screen behaviour with PAM.
A little bit of background before
As I said on this blog (in an article written in French) I own a Yubikey. This awesome device is used to generate One Time Password among other amazing stuff. I personnaly use it to login on my Mac, ssh onto my server and use sudo without typing any password. This is really great when you are somewhere and people can look at your keyboard. A password generated by a Yubikey looks like vvcubkglngtjjnkjlhjvgfdinferfkjldcffulgnbnjt (In fact, this is a valid one, but used. You can't do anything with it now. This the meaning of a One Time Password)
To setup your Yubikey with your services, you need to edit PAM. Thanks to Yubico we have a PAM plugin for Yubikey. I will not describe how to setup it here, just explain my config. I added this tiny line auth sufficient pam_yubico.so id=42 key=THISPARTISSECRET url=http://yk.cubox.me/wsapi/2.0/verify?id=%d&otp=%s verbose_otp in /etc/pam.d/ssh on my server, among other things. When I try to login, I get prompted with Yubikey for 'cubox': and I can touch my Yubikey in order to log in. I love it.
Well, but how to setup my Mac with it?
I described how to use it, it's the same under Linux and Mac OS X. But only for sudo and sshd.
If you want to use it with your login screen, you need to add this line in /etc/pam.d/authorization.
Unfortunatly, this does not use the PAM plugin to unlock my locked screen (You know, the thing you have when you lock your session, with your wallpaper and your image). If someone have an answer, please contact me! /etc/pam.d/screensaver does not help.

Yeah, I am not joking. All this bloody article for just this line of important information. But as I said, this is documentated nowhere. I asked an Apple Genius and he was unable to answer me. Now, when I got prompted for my password, I just type enter and... Magic. It took me almost half of a year to find this. Thanks Apple.

Enjoy your secure login screen with Yubikey on your Mac! You don't need to buy the Rohos software for 32$. Just grab a root access and do some magic!
