You’re expected to ‘reboot’ after upgrading. Did you do this? If you updated via the command line, you’ll need to do this manually. OSMC will only reboot automatically if you upgraded via My OSMC
Just done the update on my pi2 using Confluence as my skin but I’ve now lost access to the configuration under the system tab its been replaced my MyOSMC which is a copy of what’s in the settings tab?
Settings was swapped for My OSMC. However you don’t need to select Settings. You should be able to go in to Settings just by pressing System (and not scrolling down to one of the tabs).
The problem for me is that the package should be extracted to /mnt/ that’s where my nfs share (read-only) goes to. But mnt is for mounting points … not for temp extracting …
It is normal for the screen to go blank while updating Kodi itself - this is because we cannot replace Kodi while it is running, so it is automatically shut down. When the upgrade process is complete (you did let it run to completion, right ?) simply reboot.
When you update via My OSMC, Kodi will be automatically restarted for you (or the system will reboot if updates require a reboot) but if you upgrade from the command line its up to you to restart after the upgrade.
I updated with a manual update via the My OSMC app and am now stuck at the splash screen after files were seemingly successfully downloaded and installed. Once stalled at the spash screen for 10mins or so, the screen goes to black (wired keyboard inputs don’t produce any response on either splash screen or black screen for what it’s worth). The first time this happened, I ssh-ed in and rebooted, only for it to go through the same cycle again.
I’ve run sudo journalctl under the osmc account and can post anything here that might be helpful, though nothing seems obviously awry there. I’m going to try a full power down and reboot now, but any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Updated via gui - and was greeted minutes later by a message that the update has failed…
Anyway, Kodi was running and I saw that Kodi itself got updated, but the Kernel wasn’t.
As I still could ssh into my Pi2, I checked /boot and saw a bunch of crypted and LARGE files and folders that led me to think that maybe my config.txt setting of “dtoverlay=sdhost,overclock_50=63” has been the culprit and may have corrupted my sd card during the update process…
Trying to delete those files and folders via ssh didn’t work as the partition was read only now.
So I connected it to my workstation, copied what was readable, formatted it and copied these files back, deleting that said dtoverlay-line while doing that.
Voilà, OSMC came back
After that I forced the kernels’ install - and ran apt-get autoremove …
I ended up by creating a new sd card using an OSMC backup, and now everything’s up again.
My bad that I cannot provide any logs, though.
At least I can assure that it wasn’t due to a weak psu as I didn’t have any problems with the one used as of now - even did the rebuild with it while additionally connecting an USB stick and a keyboard - no hickups.
Anyway, OSMC works great - many thanks for that, folks
