Hi

This means you have not powered off the aTV properly, so /boot has become read only. You should fsck /boot first and ensure it is RW before re-running apt-get -f install.

Sorry, I have the same problem.
(Error code 13)
But I’m noob :disappointed:
How may I “fsck /boot” ???
Thanks

sudo umount /boot
sudo fsck.hfsplus -f /dev/sda1
sudo mount -o force,rw /dev/sda1 /boot

What he says :wink:

Change sda1 to sdb1 if running off a USB based install and a hard disk is still attached to your PATA port.

i’m having an issue with my system. some of the changes will become permanent but some doesn’t such as every time I boot my OSMC, the directory help (which normally once you pressed OKAY, it will disappear forever) always pops-out again. Another issue is the theme shortcut will disappear on every boot, but the system config will be permanent. I’ve done the fsck with no resolution, and updating atv-image also seems to be fail. Fresh reinstall twice.

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo uname -a

Please let me know which log you need to see to resolve this.
