System really slow

Well, the error itself suggests a path to follow.

You have assigned the same IP address, 192.168.1.9, to both the ethernet and WiFi interfaces:

Jun 01 11:55:26 osmc avahi-daemon[292]: Registering new address record for 192.168.1.9 on eth0.IPv4.
...
Jun 01 11:55:28 osmc avahi-daemon[292]: Withdrawing address record for 192.168.1.9 on eth0.
...
Jun 01 11:55:28 osmc avahi-daemon[292]: Registering new address record for 192.168.1.9 on wlan0.IPv4.
...
Jun 01 11:55:30 osmc avahi-daemon[292]: Registering new address record for 192.168.1.9 on eth0.IPv4.
etc, etc.

You need to assign a different IP address to each interface.

One extra minor issue is that your advancedsettings.xml contains the line:

sudo nano ~/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

which needs to be removed.

I thought that as only one interface was active at a time that would be ok. Now changed.
but will that screw my other config files up which refer to the server being on 192.168.1.9 (or 17 if going other way?)

Re advanced settings.xml file, I think I must have screwed up while cutting and pasting.

it now has

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

            <type>mysql</type>

            <port>3306</port>

    </videodatabase>

but without the big spaces.

The log shows that IP address 192.168.1.9 was used simultaneously on both interfaces:

Jun 03 10:49:23 osmc connmand[388]: wlan0 {add} address 192.168.1.9/24 label wlan0 family 2

Note that the OpenVPN errors started at 10:37:45 when wlan0 and eth0 were both up and sharing the same IP address.

The WiFi link also seems to be unstable and seems to have been down between 10:43:13 and 10:47:25. The log shows that it tried to associate with three separate SSIDs, so it looks like they could be interfering with each other. Best to choose just one and leave it at that.

Jun 01 11:55:28 osmc wpa_supplicant[291]: wlan0: Trying to associate with 3c:37:86:fc:2c:58 (SSID='secure-2' freq=2437 MHz)

Jun 03 10:49:19 osmc wpa_supplicant[291]: wlan0: Trying to associate with 3c:37:86:fc:2c:58 (SSID='secure-2' freq=2437 MHz)
Jun 03 10:49:23 osmc wpa_supplicant[291]: wlan0: Trying to associate with 3c:37:86:fc:2c:58 (SSID='secure-2' freq=2437 MHz)

That is partly correct (I also have the same IP). But this only works if the Ethernet interface is connected at boot time and remains connected. If you change between them at run time you might get a situation where both become active.

I have re installed OSMC on both vero’s and they are both much faster (50mb’s on speed test). However on one of them I can’t ssh into it.
I get

I used

and get

Davids-MacBook-Pro:~ Dave$
How can I get to ssh in?
FTP, ssh, Samba and transmittion client are all running and I have checked the ip address.

Totally normal after reinstall of OSMC as new SSH keys are created.

Try ssh-keygen -R 192.168.1.9
Adding a leading 0 to an IP is not normal.

That sorted it. Thanks.

now cant get file sharing working.
get path found or invalid on both machines.
Have reloaded config files that were not installed .

logs are
https://paste.osmc.tv/ocaguwiwug

is there something I’ve not enabled?

Got it to work from the slave to the master vero, so I can see the files on the main vero but not the other way round.
Also back to slow speed on both, so it must be the connection between the 2 that is causing the slow data transfer.
Is there a better way to do file sharing?

How are they now connected? What iperf3 speed do you get between them?

Assuming you are using samba? If so did you enable Samba Server on both of them?

haven’t tested iperf speed yet, and yes did install samba on both, do I need to do anything else to enable it?

perf test gives

These speeds aren’t ideal – they also fluctuate a lot which will cause buffering issues.

is there a way I can improve the speed, or is there better way to file share, also still cant get the server to see the slave files.

Are you now connected to the 5GHz SSID?

No, that should be enough to make them reachable via SMB

Just checked and they are back on LAN. will change to wireless, although the connected speed was 50 Mbs before I enabled file smb.

both back on 5 Ghz

Did you disable/disconnect Ethernet? Numbers are still not convincing but at least stable. But sure for 4k playback you need higher numbers.

Had it disabled. Now disconnected
