Using stock OSMC on RaspbAfter upgrading to v19, mediacenter.service started failing. TV screen displays boot logs with [OK] Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes being the last line.
At first mediacenter complained on not finding nmblookup command, so I installed samba-common-bin. Now it complains about Mesa and I feel really stuck.
You installed your own version of mesa. This isn’t supported and will stop the Kodi UI from starting.
Given the state of your system and the changes made, I’d just take a backup and start fresh. Your system is far from ‘stock’ as you described.

Hey,
I’m getting a similar behavior on a new rpi4 install. After installing Samba through OSMC app store.

I’ve already tried to reinstall mediacenter doing the following (as described here)
But problem still persists
@sam_nazarko Anything else I can do?
This is your problem:

Removing rbp4-device-osmc (1.0.8) ...

You tried for some reason to install rbp2-mediacenter-osmc:

But your device is a Pi 4.
You should reinstall.
Yes, I see now, thanks! I did in fact make my situation unsolvable this way. Already did a clean reinstall which works well. Still, the issue happened before I did any manual changes (e.g. before I tried to reinstall both mediacenter and mesa packages). As I can’t reproduce this anymore, I’ll close this topic. Thanks @sam_nazarko!
