my osmc is acting up.
this is what happens when I try to update via command line
how do I fix it?
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get update
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
It appears you are out of space.
What is the output of df -h?
Install ncdu sudo apt-get install ncdu to investigate which folder is using the space.
After a reboot im unable to access it and i get a sad face at boot up and it freezes there
What shall i do now?
No ssh access? If that’s the case, probably just reinstall.
It sounds like you’ve ran out of space.
There are other ways to access the command line, see Accessing the command line - General - OSMC, but this may be tricky
Sam
why is the USB option grayed out?
installer window is also too small to read the options clearly.
I dont have an SD card
please advise
tried to install it but it says “you dont have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/”
I didnt install anything, but it started to act like this after the power went down couple of times.
I do have access to the command line now. what should I do to have it fixed or reinstalled?
Figure out what takes up the space and delete it.
To figure out what uses the space you can use ncdu as written by @actiona but before you install it you need to make some space.
So first step is run df -h to figure out how much is free on /.
Than try to delete either some Movies if you copied any onto the Vero or delete stuff in .kodi/temp/
That could indicate a filesystem corruption instead of running out of space. But the df -h will tell you. Share the output of the line with /
Actually just saw in your other post that you were able to upload logs.
The logs show enough free space (12G) so that’s not the problem. But maybe filesystem corruption.
So a clean reinstall might be suggested.
Hi @Muheeb_Alzaki – the storage options are greyed out because the settings refer to internal storage. So stay with SD card and you can use either a USB or SD card.
Run
sudo touch /forcefsck
sudo reboot
If there’s a filesystem issue, it will attempt to fix it. Otherwise I recommend a backup and reinstallation.
I tried this and it didnt help,
I have the osmc in usb but osmc will not detect it, is there a way to force it?
I assume that refered to @sam_nazarko advice to run forcefsck. So no errors where found after reboot?
Are you sure the data is written correctly on the USB stick?
Otherwise try the toothpick approach?
Take a screenshot of the USB please
I bet it’s something in /home/osmc using all the space. Try
$ du -h /home
I followed the procedure but I downloaded the disk image locally as it was giving me error when I used it directly from the osmc installer, it gives an error when it tries to download it directly from the net
maybe I downloaded it the wrong disk image, I will try it gain
