I have updated my Vero 4K+ many times without a problem, but after doing the March update the system will not boot.
I get “can’t execute ‘/sbin/splash_early’ No such file or directory” on the TV.
Nothing I do changes this. I even tried a toothpick factory reset.
I have access to the Vero via SSH and tried reboot to no avail.
I need some help.
Thanks

This is odd, so after the line of Get:1 there is nothing and then directly Get:3? If you run this command again what is shown?
A bit different this time.

Try
sudo wget "https://paste.osmc.tv/raw/afifovuwed" -O /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00-osmc-allow-suite-changes
And then run again sudo apt update and then sudo apt dist-upgrade
Well that took a while, but I didn’t see any errors.
I switched the Vero off and back on to reboot.
And it came up with the same original error
“can’t execute ‘/sbin/splash_early’ No such file or directory”.
Don’t do that! Use sudo reboot command to reboot.
What happens now when running
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
Also run grab-logs -A and share the URL maybe we can see what the actual problem is.
Also following would help:
ls -lah /sbin/splash_early
dpkg -l | grep armv7-splash-osmc
sudo apt install armv7-splash-osmc
osmc@osmc:~$ ls -lah /sbin/splash_early
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.3K Jul 2 2020 /sbin/splash_early

Not sure if you just mixed up the device your are accessing?
How can I restart from scratch?
I tried putting osmc files on a USB stick using the OSMC-Installer, inserting it into the Vero and restarting by switching off and on.
This seemed to have no effect.
I’ll try again tomorrow.
Thanks for your help.
Well before trying to start from scratch did you try to connect to the Vero via SSH?
I have updated my Vero 4K+ many times without a problem, but after doing the March update the system will not boot.
I get “can’t execute ‘/sbin/splash_early’ No such file or directory” on the TV.
Nothing I do changes this.
I tried OSMC-Installer putting the previous OSMC on a USB stick and rebooting with no effect.
I tried a toothpick factory reset with no effect.
I have access to the Vero via SSH and yesterday fzinken kindly suggested various actions but still no change.
Does the problem lie with the initial boot process?
I need some more help.
Thanks
Why have you created a new thread and not continued in the old thread?
As I wrote in your old thread you are connecting not the the Vero but a Raspberry Pi. Please check if you are able to connect to the Vero via SSH and we can try to fix it.
I started a new thread as the old one was getting large.
I misunderstood your comment about being confused.
I can connect to the Vero via SSH.
Than please provide logs via grab-logs -A and share the URL.
If will merge the threads.
Sorry for the delay in responding.
I now find I cannot connect to the Vero, not by Wifi or Lan.
