Fresh install of RC on a brand new RPi 2. Install process went pretty smoothly and it did a bunch of updates so I think I’m running the latest and greatest.
I’ll write up a proper ‘first impressions’ post once I can get these two issues sorted (as they are preventing me from really getting started):
1) CEC Not Working
I have been running a Raspbmc install on a RPi Model B for over a year now with my LG TV. CEC via HDMI worked perfectly out of the box and has continued to work up until now. Running OSMC RC, my TV remote no longer works at all. What information can I provide to help get this working? This is a big roadblock to my move to OSMC.
2) Samba Server
I installed the Samba server from the app store, then rebooted the Pi once everything had completed. However, I can’t access the device from my Windows machine (yes, I am using the IP address). Have I missed a step, or can I provide some kind of info to help debug?
Thanks in advance. I appreciate the huge effort that has gone into OSMC and I’m keen to get things running as well as Raspbmc has been ASAP so I can take full advantage of the Pi 2.
Please enable Debug mode in Kodi, reboot, then use the log uploader in OSMC settings to upload all debug logs.
Will do, thanks. Looks like the CEC issue was related to cables, I tried with another cable and it now appears to be working. Still no dice on Samba. I’ll try to get logs uploaded tonight.
OK, logs are up:

Thanks in advance.
To confirm, CEC is now sorted, just Samba that I can’t access.
Edit: I recall when I installed the Samba server that I got an error popup saying ‘report this in the forum’, but then I got the ‘successfully installed’ notification. Perhaps the packages didn’t install correctly via the App Store? Is there some way I can force a reinstall from the command line via ssh?
Hi,
After looking at your log you are indeed missing some packages - you have smb-app-osmc, but this is only a metapackage that pulls in the actual Debian Samba packages and applies some default configurations, the actual samba package is missing.
Also your APT log does not show any trace of installing samba, which is odd. Can you try “uninstalling” Samba from the App store, then reinstalling ? No need to reboot.
This should do the trick. I suspect there was a problem with the Debian mirrors yesterday that has caused your problem.
BTW what was the problem with CEC ?
CEC was fixed with a different cable.
I will try the uninstall and reinstall method from within OSMC and see how that goes.
I tried installing Samba from the App Store just two hours ago, not sure if it’s related to yesterday’s repo issues.
Thanks - if it’s still not working after the re-install please post another log, because the situation where smb-app-osmc successfully installed but the samba package is missing in theory cannot happen - so that needs investigation to work out how this could occur.
OK, so a reinstall fixed it. I didn’t get an option in the App Store to uninstall, so I just installed again and everything went through without raising any errors. Samba access working! Thanks for your help. Now to get everything else set up…
