Osmc settings service failed to start

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

Hi guys,

I’m setting up an RPI with OSMC/deluge/etc. since a couple of days and found workarounds for almost all my problems (permission, samba access rights, the usual stuffs :slight_smile: ). Around Monday I get it, all I want is there and working. But of course…
Here is the timeline: I know OSMC worked beginning of this week, I dig the option to at least know they exist without change. I installed 2 Kodi addon only, youtube ans XBMC auto clean. Yesterday a pop up notified me OSMC can be upgraded. I took a backup of the SD card (Win32disk image) prior the update but when I restarted a notification in Kodi with error about XBMC auto clean and OSMC. (All things under “programs” in fact". when I try to enter the OSMC menu I get “osmc settings service failed to start”.
What did I try?
1/ sudo apt-get update & sudo sytemctl manual- update (found on the forum)
update ok but no change
2/ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
3/ uninstall XBMC auto clean
no change

to be clear the problem came after the successful backup, after the osmc notification for upgrade, but prior appying it so I cannot reasonably involve the September update. It seems all “programs” failed to start (MyOSMC and XBMC auto clean are under this category)

Here are the logs: http://paste.osmc.io/coxijakacu

May anyone point me a direction ?

Thx all for the great work on this software!

The log indicates problems with the Python installation on your system. If you haven’t tried to manually build Python. it’s probably possible to reinstall through apt-get, but someone more knowledgable than me would have to confirm that.

Thanks for your answer. I noticed the python error too, digging the log during my lunch. I cannot understand the root cause of the displayed error, lack of knowledge’s. So far I see it’s python 2.7, and if I’m not wrong it’s the version used by Deluge installed since day 1 on the PI. Deluge is still working well as Kodi (except for all “programs”.

Does anyone know what I can try to “rebuild” the python if it’s really the cause?

When back to home I’ll check if the apt command provides such an option, thanks you pointing me this possibility
