Krypton update - high CPU by systemd-journald

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

Hi there,

Since I update to krypton yesterday my rpi3 has a high CPU usage by the systemd-journald service which I think is responsible for logging on debian:

in the system logs I see allot of this errors:

    Feb 07 23:26:53 osmc mediacenter[29978]: extern "Python": function Cryptography_rand_status() called, but no code was attached to it yet with @ffi.def_extern().  Returning 0.

btw I also try to start fresh by renaming .kodi/ folder, but as soon as I start using it I get the behavior above.

Any idea what can cause this issue ?

Thanks!

Does this relate to the slow python scripting mentioned here?

This might be related. could also be that this is happening due to an addon, which I didn’t detected so far…
Since 1 days the issue is gone… I can’t say at the moment why …

It happens again, might be related to the slow python scripts.
In addition to this youtube is not working at all and any addon which is using youtube …

Any idea what can I do to fix this issue ?

Make sure the YouTube add-on is up to date.

7

Is the latest from official Kodi repo: 5.3.8
I tried to update, reset to default settings, remove and the install again nothing… still the same issue.

8

I had the same exact issue… systemd-journald using 100% of one CPU core.

This seems to have stopped the log abuse.
sudo -H pip install --upgrade pyopenssl
