It’s being resolved. Just waiting on Jenkins.

Like watching paint dry: http://jenkins.osmc.tv/job/rbp2-kernel-osmc/102/console; http://jenkins.osmc.tv/job/rbp1-kernel-osmc/100/console.

No update has been found when search from my tv but i obtain the same exact error when i try to use a ssh session.
Wait for news whit complete procedure to fix this… thanks in advance.

Jenkins has finished, just waiting for the mirrors to update now. Then the following commands should resolve the issue:

Log in via SSH and run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot

That should be it.

just tried both:

Read the text in bold more carefully… We are still waiting for the mirror to sync. It will be 30 mins

ok, my bad. I understood it’s already up there.
will give it a try again in half an hour.

I run the upgrade again and it seems there were new packages downloaded. But the old package still causes problems.

Logs from upgrade:
http://paste.osmc.io/zovarohani.pas

EDIT:
Probably the problematic package should be removed manually to avoid the error.

getting the same error as maciex.

Same problem here, had to do

sudo apt-get remove rbp2-image-4.4.13-4-osmc

and then

sudo reboot

Now it shows the correct kernel:

Linux osmc-rpi3 4.4.13-5-osmc #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 20 16:34:27 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

So something got screwed up with the no 4 package that wasn’t installed completely

11

yes – it may be necessary to manually remove the previous, afflicted package, but sudo apt-get -f install should fix this up either way.

I did a sudo apt-get autoremove, then a reboot. Also fixed it.

I don’t seem to get this right. First I kept getting the same error, and now it won’t even install anymore. Does it get the right image with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ?

To further clarify: it says it is installed (and therefore will not update), but after the OSMC start screen, all I get is a black screen and an occasional crash screen (with the sad face).

Did you run sudo apt-get update first?

18

Yes, I ran sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

19

Did you run the remove command as per @ogre’s suggestion?

My advice for what its worth is to run:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove

After this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The above worked fine for me. Now running latest code.

Cheers
