OSMC won't update via Settings Plugin

Watercastle · 13 May 2015 16:28

System: Raspberry Pi 2

I tried (several times) to update OSMC via the OSMC Settings Plugin. Install fails and tells me to report this to the forum, which I do now.

Here are the debug logs:

Unfortunately it looks from your logs that you have significant filesystem corruption:

What make and model is your SD card ? It’s quite possible you are being affected by a known file system corruption issue that is currently affecting certain make/models of SD cards, only on the Pi 2:

SDCard corruption on RPI2

Lots of people seems to be affected by an issue with sdcard. I'm using a Samsung… Evo 16 Gb micro SDCard, and using raspbian, I encounter every time corruption on the sd card. It's easy to reproduce : - Get the raspbian image 2015_02_16 from the website - I dd it from my mac to the sd card (using sudo dd bs=1m if=2015-02-16-raspbian-wheezy.img of=/dev/rdisk4) - Boot the pi with the freshly installed micro sd card - Install Raspbian, and when I have the console, I do sudo touch /forcefsck - On next reboot, lots of error are found and it after few minutes, it ends by the screen dying I need to check on my linux system (I'm at work) if I can fix the card at this step or not. I flashed the raspbian img multiple times and it doesn't work. It also can be reproduce just by making the RPI reboot multiple times through the terminal (using sudo reboot) I have 3 of them so I hope it's just a firmware bug (I'll try with another one to be sure it' sno the sdcard itself) Here's two threaeds that gathered this issue (without creating a post in here though :/ ) : http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=101183&p=703772&hilit=error+110#p703772 http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=98935 One post is interesting : > I am using Transcend UHS-I 1U 16GB Class 10 i have tried 4 of this card and same error with all four, i have also tried with 3 different Rpi2 and i could reproduce this error on all of them. If you want card info, I can give them but you need to tell what to run on which system, because I didn't find a way to print sdcard charateristics from Mac OS X.

The good news is that a fix for this problem is nearly ready and should make it into RC3, the bad news is that because you have file system corruption to the point where upgrades are failing you really need to do a fresh install after RC3 comes out as there is no way to know what else may be corrupted.

Edit: I should probably add that a faulty SD card is also a possibility.

How far along is RC3? I mean should I do a fresh install of RC2 while waiting or is it just around the corner? I am away from home for two days so I won’t do anything before Sunday.

This is the SD Card that is in use:
SanDisk SDSDQUN-016G-FFP-A Ultra Android 16GB microSDHC UHS-I Class 10

@DBMandrake Just a sidenote: I’ve seen the answer in the other thread, but a quick reference would have been appreciated. Cheers!

RC3 updates for existing systems have been released (with the exception of a kernel update for vero which is still being finalised) but new RC3 images have not been released yet. Not far away now.
