Unfortunately I can’t send you logs or tell you which version I’m on. I can’t navigate without remote.
The first June update worked without issues. A few days later I got another prompt for an update. So I guess it was the 2nd June update. It’s strange though, because os-release still shows 2020.06-1.
But I connected via ssh and here’s some info:
[osmc@vero 0 ~]$ uname -a

This is an OSMC remote on a Vero that is not working at all? The only change that has been made with recent updates was with the keymap but that only affects one button. I would try changing the battery and/or re-pairing the remote. You might also plug it into a PC and make sure it works there. What the buttons will will map as on a PC can be found [here]
The one that came with my Vero4K (bought it Sept. 2017).
This is an OSMC remote on a Vero that is not working at all?
I don’t understand the question. It worked until recently. After the March or whatever update the long-press actions worked perfectly.
Now, nothing works. Not a single key press. None of the keys. So, I guess it is not working at all.
I changed the battery 2 hours ago, just to be sure.
Hmm, I replied per email, but my answer never showed up here. Strange.
The re-pairing does not work. The blue LED does not start flashing after 5 seconds of pressing Home and Ok.
However, after it did not start flashing blue, I turned off the Vero (pulled the plug) for approx. 2 minutes. After that I tried to do the re-pairing again. No flashing. Then I put the USB receiver back into the port and et volià it worked.
Hmm, I’m a bit puzzled. So either the re-pairing worked (without all the LED blinking) or all that was needed was to unplug and plug in the USB receiver.
In either case, it’s strange that this happened out of the blue (pardon the pun).
I’m glad all is good again. I’ll remove the debug level and reboot. Thanks!
My unit hasn’t worked for probably two years at this point. It got used only so much so it’s not like the buttons have worn out. I have tried getting it to work again several times since then.
I have tried the suggestions of holding the home and OK buttons (light just stays on, does not blink; tried with both the dongle unplugged and plugged back in) and have replaced the battery several times with different batteries. I’ve powered off the unit, I’ve left it unplugged for several minutes, I’ve tried a few different drives. I’ve unwired and rewired up the entire Vero system including the HDMI cable because why not at this point.
Is there something I’m missing or didn’t try? Unless there is something else that can be tried or done, I give up.
It is the correct dongle; it’s the only one I’ve ever plugged into the box. Aside from swapping in a new drive, I don’t mess with it, I hooked it up when I got it and left it alone ever since until it wasn’t working.
I went to use it one day and the remote was simply no longer working.
To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload logs that demonstrate your problem. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.
Depending on the used skin you have to set the settings-level to standard or higher, in summary:
enable debug logging at settings->system->logging
reboot the OSMC device twice(!)
reproduce the issue
upload the log set (all configs and logs!) either using the Log Uploader method within the My OSMC menu in the GUI or the ssh method invoking command grab-logs -A
publish the provided URL from the log set upload, here
Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.
I really appreciate you helping me out but it is the weekend and I’m sure you want to spend your time doing whatever you do for fun and relaxation. I haven’t had the box working in a long time so a few more days certainly isn’t going to hurt.
