Upgrade stuck after downloading the packages
I have a following problem with upgrading the system via SSH.
After i made an apt-get update, i tried apt-get upgrade as well as apt-get install xbian-update. Both have the following problem: The process downloads the packages, and tells me how much it has downloaded. After that, nothing happens. The SSH is completely frozen, i can't ctrl-c the process, nor kill the session with ~. The pi also doesn't accept new connections. The only solution is to pull the plug and reboot it. Needless to say, the upgrade isn't installed then. During the freeze, the TV GUI is frozen, too. I can move the mouse, but the buttons won't respond, and the clock does not count. Help me, please. How can i upgrade my xbian? |

RE: Upgrade stuck after downloading the packages
Oh. I am sorry.
Software XBian version: XBian 1.0Beta1 XBMC version: I don't know, at the moment i don't have physical access to my Pi, will fill in tonight. Overclock settings: Default Hardware Power supply rating: 2A, 100-250V (this one: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B006SU9VXS/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=aflattrcom493-21) RPi model (model A/B 256mb/512mb): Model B, 256MB SD card size and make/type: 4GB Transcend Class 10 Network (wireless or LAN): LAN 1GBit Connected devices (TV, USB, network storage, etc.): TV via HDMI, Amplifier via Headphone Jack, Logitech K400 via USB (with loaded kernel module), NAS Server via SMB. I am not quite sure, which version i am trying to upgrade to. I got a popup on my TV that new packages are available, so i just connected via ssh, exited the settings tool, and executed apt-get update and apt-get upgrade after this. I have no additional software installed. The apt-get update went well, although it took some time after downloading the package lists and parsing them. I have a second pi just with plain Raspbian to hack around at home It's the same config, but i ordered one pi at RS and the other at farnell. They have different RAM vendors. The first is from Samsung, the other is _not_ from Samsung, but i can't tell the vendor. The other Pi has an 8GB Transcend Class 10 SD Card, and no other devices connected at the moment. But its apt-get update and apt-get upgrade takes its time, too, but you see continuous progress, and the "reading package lists" is appearing immediately after downloading the new packages. |

RE: Upgrade stuck after downloading the packages
The best way to upgrade your system is just to use the xbian-config in ssh.
It MAY be the RAM chip that is causing an issue. Can you post whatever is on the top of it - or take a picture. Please read before you post How to post a log file If you liked my help, click on "Thanks" to show your appreciation.

RE: Upgrade stuck after downloading the packages
there is a combination of factors in beta1X which can lead to this problem. update zram-swap package (you will need to update usbmount for dependency as well)
Code: cd /tmp then reboot. retry the apt-get steps (to unweight it a little more, do "stop xbmc" before to stop xbmc). let us know. Please read rules and do a search before you post! . FAQs . How to post log file? . Looking for answers? Please start here |

@mk01
You could try throttling the CPU during the upgrade process, the overclock is likely the culprit. Please read rules and do a search before you post! | FAQs | How to post log file? | Can't find an answer? Contact us. |

RE: Upgrade stuck after downloading the packages
Well.
I didn't know i had to stop XBMC first. I tried it again with stopping it first. It seems to work. Currently it is processing the upgrade of the first package. Thank you very much! |
