Crash when updating Database - cmantsch - 24th Feb, 2013 09:53 PM
Hi,
I just reinstalled xbian because my SD card got corrupted.
Now I'm experiencing a problem which keeps crashing the Raspi when updating Database. When starting a database update, it runs for some seconds to 1-2 minutes and then I get a black screen with the Pi rebooting.
Overclocking is set to Turbo (any lower setting doesn't play 1080p smoothly, Problem also ocurrs on lower settings like Medium and High), Raspi is a first generation 256MB Model.
Xbian Version is 1.0a4 (tried a5 before, but downgraded to a4 for problem evaluation).
Movies are stored on a SMB-Fileserver (if that's important to know).
On my earlier installation everything worked fine, but I don't know which version I had installed there.
Thanks in advance, Xbian really gets the most out of the Raspberry Pi Hardware

Did you already try without overclocking?

I tried with lower OC settings, but I'll try again with default settings

ok, just set OC to Xbian, now it seems to work.
But this setting is not performant enough for playing 1080p movies.
could it be, that accessing the smb share consumes too much cpu ressources?

I think it's a power supply issue then, how much mA does it deliver?
Re: Crash when updating Database - rikardo1979 - 25th Feb, 2013 12:44 AM
more likely, as I use standard XBian OC settings and stream full HD 1080p DTS over SMB without problem.
It can be the PSU or USB cable from PSU (if you use separate) as not all USB cables use same wiring.I have had issue with USB cable from Kindle and it was causing loosing network.since I have changed cable all is good.btw I using 2.1A PSU and nothing is plugged into RPi USB ports so no extra power drain caused

currently it's plugged in the usb port of my TV, but I also tried with several 1000mA power supplies.
just noticed that the charger of my google nexus 7 has 2000ma, so i tried with that psu.
looked promising at first, but after some minutes it crashed like it did with the other power supplies.

Put this onto nopaste, as this would be too long for a post:

EDIT: also tried another Cable (That one from my Nexus7) same problem.
EDIT2: now it even crashes when I move the cursor in the menu
when I tail -f the xbmc.log following entry appears right before crashing:

Any suggestions to this. Have the same problem. Tried 2 differen pies, different class 10 sd, different psu. Had the problem on all alpha releases. Runing a5 and 12. 1

Try to disable the hardware Watchdog, which was introduced with A5 and seems to cause more trouble than it really helps.
I already did it several weeks ago, so I can't check it anymore, but I think you can just try the following:
Terminal
sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc stop
sudo nano /etc/modules
add an # at the beginning of the line with "bcm2708_wdog"
save the the file
sudo shutdown -h now
powercycle your pi

You can also edit /etc/default/watchdog and set
Code:
run_watchdog=0Code:
max-load-1 = 0
max-load-5 = 0
max-load-15 = 0
