Wired connection stopped working after upgrade

I believe the root cause is I removed the lease from my DHCP server, once recreating it won’t take the new one. I had the same issue on one of my servers running debian. I ran dhclient -r and it was resolved. does ConnMan have an equivalent to drop it’s current lease?

Completely delete the service from /var/lib/connman
You’ll need CLI access however.

no problem, do I need to do anything after that? or will it reinstall on reboot?

If you delete the service file only (not the directory), it will restore itself.

I’m not quite clear what to remove, can you please clarify?

Please use the OSMC pastebin in future

can be ripped

I am getting Networking Add-On unhandled exception caught - see log for details popups,

what is the location of that log?

It will be put in the Kodi log.
At this point I’d suggest reinstalling OSMC. Something seems borked.

@fzinken brings this to my attention:

Oct 22 16:02:37 osmc kernel: rx stop, recover eth
Oct 22 16:02:37 osmc connmand[384]: eth0 {RX} 0 packets 0 bytes
Oct 22 16:02:37 osmc connmand[384]: eth0 {TX} 102 packets 4777 bytes

Can you try updating to staging over WiFi?

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list
  3. Add the following line: deb http://apt.osmc.tv jessie-devel main
  4. Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
  5. Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you edit /etc/apt/sources.list again and remove the line that you added after updating. This will return you to the normal update channel.

that worked after a few tries enabling the interface. thanks a lot @sam_nazarko and @fzinken!!
