[TESTING] OSMC images for Debian Stretch

Following on from: [TESTING] Debian Stretch upgrade for OSMC

Many thanks to all of those who tested our Debian Stretch release. We are now happy to consider this release stable and ready for prime time. We plan to release this as an update on 7th January with an announcement on our blog.

For those that wish to perform a fresh install, here are some disk images. You can either dd these to a bootable medium, or select ‘Local Image’ when using the OSMC Installer.

Cheers

Sam

Thanks Sam,

looks like the Samba-Server from the Store has Problems to get installed, at first after the install it mentoned to be an error on install and then Update went fine, but the PI isn’t in the network

Hi

Can you please post the logs which show the error?

Sam

Just trying to do it on cli

Works for me, didn’t had an error during install and server runs fine

osmc@osmc-blue:~$ smbclient -L localhost
Enter osmc's password: 
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.5.12-Debian]

	Workgroup            Master

	WORKGROUP            OSMC-VERO4K

Works on cli.

Log is there

Hope that helps anyway, system is an PI3 btw smbclient is not on the pakage list

The log doesn’t show an attempt to install Samba unfortunately.
If it happens again, let us know.

What do you mean with that? Did you update?

osmc@osmc-blue:~$ dpkg -l | grep smbc
ii  libsmbclient:armhf                   2:4.5.12+dfsg-2+deb9u1            armhf        shared library for communication with SMB/CIFS servers
ii  smbclient                            2:4.5.12+dfsg-2+deb9u1            armhf        command-line SMB/CIFS clients for Unix

I get this:

osmc@osmc:~$ dpkg -l | grep smbc
ii  libsmbclient:armhf                   2:4.5.12+dfsg-2+deb9u1         armhf        shared library for communication with SMB/CIFS servers

And what do you get if you do
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install smbclient

Yup did it this way

And there is it.

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo smbclient -L localhost
Enter root's password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.5.12-Debian]

So all good now ?!?

On this way yes. But is strange that it would not work in the App-Store and that it’s work on cli

It worked for me on the App Store and as @sam_nazarko wrote unfortunately your Kodi log didn’t show any attempt for an installation from App Store.
If you want to recheck, please reinstall the image, enable debug logging and try again to install it from App Store.

So again, new installation with error-log on

Log is there

Tried the installer file for the Vero (Classic) … but get a black screen after OSMC installation and box is dead; router tells me that there wasn’t a DHCP request at all.

Only thing I can provide is the install.log on the SD-card afterwards:

Tried two different SD-cards but ends in same behavior.
Finally used Vero image 2017.1-1 (local file was still on my PC) … and this works fine.

Does updating from 2017.1-1 using the instructions in the old thread work?

Sam

No, the update this way took ages but finally ends in the same black screen. Box is dead and not visible in the network.

Okay, I’ll take a look at this shortly. It’s probably a GCC6 issue.

Sam

Thanks for doing that test.
Seems that there is some issue with the apt cache, as you just logged in via SSH a minute before was the apt cache generation of that session finished?
