Kodi refuses to start
Hi to all,
So today after a few months without updating i decided to run an manual apt-get update etc... and everything worked fine, no warning no nothing... So machine reboots and i got the "starting Kodi" splash screen stuck for a while then it dropped to command line asking for user/pass (not the 1st time it happens so i was not worried), but then i tried "start xbmc" (like i do everytime this happens ) and the splash screen dropped back to CLI after 2 or 3 minutes... Rebooted, tested the file system (no problems found) and again the same thing (tried several times now). Any ideas on how to solve this? Pi 1 B , no changes have been made on the config (so OC@ 1Ghz) Dmesg paste here Terminal uname -r 4.14.58+ Terminal cat /etc/issue XBian GNU/Linux 9 \n \l Thank you to all. :) :) |

RE: Kodi refuses to start
Yes, indeed. Never seen such a small log file. And no error there, very strange.
Maybe enabling DEBUG messages brings some light into the dark Please add Code: DEBUG="--debug" to file /etc/default/xbmc, start Kodi again and look into logfile if some more messages come after load settings... And, this Code: 493.122392] kworker/u2:1: page allocation stalls for 12680ms, order:0, mode:0x1400840(GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL), nodemask=(null) does not look nice in dmesg, please keep an eye on dmesg if that appears always after boot I was updating and rebooting my Pi1 one hour ago, and that does not appear here |

Ok, done that, also ran Badblocks with the following output (i have no idea if it helps but...) Code: badblocks -v -s /dev/mmcblk0p2 Reboot now command now just "shutdowns" the pi (the SDCARD LED is not blinking so i assume is off... but it can be crashed...) (also btw yesterday before i ran the update Kodi and everything else were running fine :/ ) So new Dmesg file Here New xbmc.log: Code: 1159 (process ID) old priority 0, new priority 3 New Kodi.log Here All other OS functions appear to be working... I do not have anything else installed on this Pi besides vanilla Xbian and the updates. :) :) |

RE: Kodi refuses to start
It seems that Kodi starts so slow, that startup watchdog (2mins) is killing Kodi before Kodi can tell system that I'm up
Can you try revert kernel from 4.14 to 4.9 (I suppose you ran .4.9 before) to see if that makes a difference And/or, can you comment out dtoverlay=gpio-ir... in /boot/config.txt if you do not need lirc |

I have no idea how to do that :/ Also thanks for the Lirc tip. I don't use any IR hardware.

RE: Kodi refuses to start
Code: sudo apt-cache policy xbian-package-kernel gives you a list of available kernel packages Code: sudo apt-get install xbian-package-kernel="version you want" installs desired kernel version |
