Vero 4K Crashed after Nov update - Blue screen cycling

Hi folks, as per title - installed new update. Changed skin, now unit is switching self off.

Unable to re-boot, upload logs, do anything. Constant cycling of blue error screen with sad face (to match mine atm : (

Send help!

You can upload some logs via the command line.

You will need to attach a keyboard or use SSH.
See Accessing the command line - General - OSMC and How to submit a useful support request - General - OSMC

Thanks

Is this right?

Kodi is crashing.
Iā€™d be surprised if this was caused by the skin issue you reported.

But first, letā€™s get the system up to date and on a version which resolves your skin problem.

Please type this command sudo systemctl start manual-update

and wait for it to finish

on it now standby (and thanks Sam)

no change. still blue sad face splash screen

installing packages gets to 100% then back to cycling blue screen

Nothing else plugged into 4K unit btw (other than keyboard usb)

Then something is causing Kodi to crash still.
It could be your user data. Does running mv ~/.kodi ~/.kodi-backup help?

entered above code and get this:
mv: cannot stat ā€˜/home/osmc/.kodiā€™: No such file or directory

right tried again and now at OSMC skin

This means that your Kodi userdata was causing OSMC to crash. Possibly a problematic add-on or unsupported skin.

You should now be able to change skin and reconfigure.

Here are the full logs after kodi directory move: https://paste.osmc.tv/ekavokadat

Looks like you didnā€™t update your system fully:

Jan 02 12:55:31 osmc mediacenter[433]: /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libnfs.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It wonā€™t be related to the Kodi user data

The log shows that around 70 packages havenā€™t installed correctly.

You could try a few commands to fix things but I suspect it wonā€™t be pretty:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install --fix-broken
