No reboot after unplugging - kas_27_es - 25th Dec, 2013 03:37 AM
I had this problem a long time ago, with beta 1, so I decided to install beta 2.
All was running very well until I had to unplug it... Since then, the pi haven't start anymore.
The green led blinked a few times, and then the red led was fixed.
I don't understand the reason, so I've decide to reinstall again but, Is there any way to prevent this issue?
Thanks.
Kas.

As a first guess - use the Quit function of XBMC or issue ssh sudo poweroff.
DON'T just pull the power. This could cause a file system corruption.
If this is not the case can you supply the output from dmesg via pastebin

Thanks IriDium,
I'm afraid I can not post the output dmesg now. As I said, I decided to reinstall again. I see what was my fail: I just pulled the power, so, probably, the file system was corrupted
Thanks, I learned a lesson.

Well yesterday I shut off my rpi using the shut down menu...
Today it doesn't start. The problem is the same as described above (in my first post).
I still didn't format the SD card, and when I plug it into my laptop it can't mount the second partition (xbian-beta2), it only mount first partition (xbian-boot)
I don't know how to get any dmesg, or any other information.
Should I reinstall again? Is there any way to recover my old installation before I format the SD card?
Could the problem be in my SD card?
Please, I need some help...
Thanks.

Unless you have a linux file driver installed (I assume Windoze laptop) then you will only see xbian-boot as that is FAT32 - the rest is BTRFS
dmesg is a command run from a terminal session.
Best thing to do is plug the SD card into you laptop, copy and then edit the file cmdline.txt. Remove quiet and loglevel=0
Reboot
The screen should fill up with boot-up messages. If it does not boot - copy the screen or take a photo (easier) and post that - will give us an idea of what might be wrong.
Might be worth posting config.txt and cmdline.txt as well.

No man, my laptop is "linuxed": xubuntu 12.04 (32 bits)
But it can't mount the BRTFS partition
I know what dmesg is, but I don't know how to run it om my rpi... as I said it doesn't start: just two blinks of the green led and then the fatal red... permanent...
I don't get image...
RE: No reboot after unplugging - IriDium - 28th Dec, 2013 05:41 AM
Have you removed those words from cmdline.txt?
RE: No reboot after unplugging - kas_27_es - 28th Dec, 2013 05:47 AM
No... I've formatted again a few hours ago
Again, I'm not very patient...
Well, I'll reinstall xbian again and I'll try again, I'm sure I can reproduce the error: it's simple, just shutdown rpi wait a few minutes and restart...
As soon as I get information, I'll post a message.
Thanks-

How are you installing? Xbian installer on Windoze 7 or 8?
If so try downloading the .img and use win32diskimager instead - that should work.
dmesg is just a command that is run from a terminal session. Not a lot of use if the RPi doesn't boot
RE: No reboot after unplugging - kas_27_es - 28th Dec, 2013 05:56 AM
I'm installing with "dd" commando due there is no install application for 32 bit linux...
RE: No reboot after unplugging - IriDium - 28th Dec, 2013 06:08 AM
Can you post the dd command you use - this could be the issue.
I have a feeling that dd may not work as expected on a BTRFS file system.
Have a look on the thread Mounting USB
RE: No reboot after unplugging - kas_27_es - 28th Dec, 2013 06:12 AM
This is de command I'm using right now:
sudo dd bs=1M if=xbian.beta2.2013-11-16rs.img | pv | sudo dd of=/dev/sdb1
But, usually, all the installation seems to work fine. I could configure XBMC, samba, transmission... without problems. The trouble occurs when I shut down the rpi and restart it after some time...
It has just finished, this is the output:

RE: No reboot after unplugging - IriDium - 28th Dec, 2013 06:16 AM
I think you have hit on the problem.
1) Run xbian - reboot
2) Install samba - reboot.
3) Install transmission - reboot
Where does the problem occur?
RE: No reboot after unplugging - kas_27_es - 28th Dec, 2013 06:40 AM
wow....
No, man, I didn't reboot after each software installation
Should I did it?I use to do this:
- Run xbian.
- Configure XBMC, and add some add-ons.
- Install & configure samba.
- Install & configure transmission.
- Install &configure ssmtp & mailutils.
I didn't reboot on any step
The problem occurs when I shutdown the rpi, and unplug it. After that, when I plug the rpi again it doesn't start.

There needs to be a way to enable logging to the boot partition in this case, disabling splash may allow you to see what's happening. Sounds kinda like a bad SDCard, before you shutdown the first time login to your Pi with SSH and run 'dmesg > sys.log' then post the output of sys.log to pastebin please.
What do you have plugged into the USB ports?
