Artic Zephyr From Ashes skin, sadface on reboot

@sam_nazarko We do not normally use the Raspberry Pi in our testing of the skin releases and are dependent on community feedback for this information including required logs. We curate the skin as a service to the community and it was handed off in late 2015 (when it was known as “Arctic Zephyr: Exploded”) to us and subsequently renamed “Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes” at its initial release. Please note that we are referring to the regular “dormer” line (3.x) version and not “danvers” (4.x) as the latter is intended for Krypton and no where near ready.

The following is an outline of the “addons.xml” file for “Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes:”

<requires> <import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.10.0"/> <import addon="script.skinshortcuts" version="1.0.8"/> <import addon="service.library.data.provider" version="0.1.5"/> <import addon="script.grab.fanart" version="0.14.1"/> <import addon="script.extendedinfo" version="4.5.2"/> <import addon="service.nextup.notification" version="1.0.15"/> <import addon="script.skin.helper.service" version="1.0.60"/> <import addon="script.toolbox" version="1.1.1"/> <import addon="script.artwork.downloader" version="13.1.0"/> <import addon="script.playalbum" version="2.0.2"/> <import addon="script.artistslideshow-helper" version="0.4.2"/> <import addon="script.artistslideshow" version="1.8.7"/> <import addon="script.tv.show.next.aired" version="6.0.15"/> <import addon="resource.images.studios.coloured" version="0.0.7"/> <import addon="resource.images.studios.white" version="0.0.6"/> <import addon="resource.images.moviegenreicons.coloured" version="0.0.6"/> <import addon="resource.images.musicgenreicons.text" version="0.0.7"/> <import addon="resource.images.recordlabels.white" version="0.0.6"/> <import addon="resource.uisounds.fromashes" version="3.0.01"/> </requires> <extension point="xbmc.gui.skin" defaultthemename="Textures.xbt" effectslowdown="1.00" debugging="false"> <res width="1920" height="1080" aspect="16:9" default="true" folder="16x9"/> <res width="1920" height="1200" aspect="16:10" default="false" folder="16x9"/> </extension>

I would highly recommend simply downloading the CDN version (most people prefer this route or the Emby Repo route). Do note, as outlined in Arctic Zephyr: Generations (Jarvis / Leia) [3.4.70 / Coming Soon] you will in fact need to install "Script.Duration" before installing the skin.

All reports have indicated that all which is required is to set “Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes” as the Kodi skin and reboot to cause the kernel panic which indicates a “Segmentation Fault” having occurred.

@DBMandrake we have not asked in detail what processor platform is being used for those running Debian and From Ashes. It is however known that From Ashes will run on a multitude of ARM devices running Android although this may too be considered an “Apples to Oranges” comparison.

Based on analytical data, From Ashes is ran on tens of thousands of devices and it has been reported that the Debian based “Raspbian” is capable of running From Ashes without causing a kernel panic.

The replication of the issue has been described and is apparently fairly simple to emulate. What is concerning is how specific of a subset of users the issue is actually having an effect on.
