[TESTING] Debian 10 Buster

osmc@HTPC:~$ sudo systemctl start docker.socket

osmc@HTPC:~$ sudo /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/containerd.sock
INFO[2020-09-23T07:11:57.491682609+01:00] Starting up
failed to load listeners: no sockets found via socket activation: make sure the service was started by systemd

This is why we recommend updating via My OSMC which will handle all of this for you.

I won’t have physical access to my OSMC devices until the weekend. At that point, I could try a fresh install, install Docker and upgrade to Buster.

I did a bit of searching for the error “failed to load listeners: no sockets found via socket activation: make sure the service was started by systemd”. See if this helps:

This explains why -H fd:// is inappropriate from the command line:

Cheers for that. A lot of it is over my head but I did find this in /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants

Got the ‘Red X of some sort of error’ so I just went to the command line!

Any changes in Lircd? Some button on my HP MCE remote control not working, event not shown as pressed in debug log.

Edit: Even with newly recorded IR (KEY_OK)

Running on
Raspberry Pi Model B Plus Rev 1.2
Update done (after editing sources) from OsMC add-on.
Accessing remote MySQL database and content over SMB.

Happy to report that initial testing was very satisfactory on my Pi 3:

  • playback of videos stored on SMBv1 Time Capsule,
  • playback of audio stream.

Looking forward to testing on my Pi 4 :slight_smile:

Thank you Sam

Pi 3, so far works fine

All good here! Running Pi3 with TVH , NFS installed, haven’t tested SMB yet.

Thanks Sam!

Update went flawlesly

Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release: 10

osmc@osmc:~$

Just updated to Buster on a Vero 4K+
I have a fairly simple setup.

Only using Wifi
Vero connected directly to the TV
Running Zomboided VPN manager (PIA VPN)
Tvheadend client
Using a Synology NAS as NFS share.

My setup seems to run perfect after the update. :slight_smile:

I hadn’t really noticed that you were also running the new 4.9 kernel, so, although this is a Buster testing thread, your problem might be kernel-related – or a combination of kernel and OS.

I’ve been informed in no uncertain terms that performing experimental updates on our one and only Vero4K could result in my head on a plate. :crazy_face: I’ll certainly try it on my Pi3 but the Vero4K is off the menu, I’m afraid. Apologies.

I have some problems on samba. Anyone have an idea? One partition is visibled but I cannot connect there. Two others partitions works fine.
I have ssd + sdcard:

/dev/sda1       5,1G  2,3G  2,6G  48% /
/dev/sda2       230G   95G  124G  44% /MediaDrive
/dev/mmcblk0p2   29G   12G   17G  41% /media/sdDrive

stat /MediaDrive/
Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)

[MediaCenter]
    browsable = yes
   read only = no
    force user = osmc
    valid users = osmc
    path = /MediaCenter
        public = yes
        writable = yes
        create mask = 0777
        directory mask = 0777

This looks confusing. Is OSMC the server or the client?
