Threaded Mode | Linear Mode

Ok, I mounted the SD under Linux Mint. Can see both partitions, VFAT and BTRFS.
This is my cmdline.txt:
"telnet zswap.enabled=1 zswap.compressor=lz4 console=tty1 partswap root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootflags=subvol=root/@,autodefrag,compress=lzo rootfstype=btrfs rootwait logo.nologo quiet noswap loglevel=0 startevent=mountall selinux=0 splash nohdparm net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 --startup-event mountall"

Shall I replace everything with "rescue" or put it somewhere inside? Sorry if this can be very newbie but I am. Smile

Updating:

Just put the rescue command inside, adding to it. It worked and I was able to boot into rescue mode.
I could also run rch.
Then I tried to watch what happens so I did nothing and rebooted.
Now It keeps on a black screen with a login prompt and a small yellow flashing bolt on the upper right corner.
Tomorrow I'll try to rollback a snapshot.

Ok, everything back to normal. Rollback was successful now it's time to a home backup. Then I'll make a fresh install of the new image and restore home.
But before, is there a way, I mean, is there a log file to see what could caused this?

What exactly did you rollback? I suppose root fs

So, because of preserving the broken subvolume, you can look into by mounting it

for example

Terminal

sudo mount /dev/root /mnt
cd /mnt/root
ls -la

and then change into saved volume and look into var/log/apt/history.log (none prefixed /) to see which packages has been updated

Yes, I did it with root fs. I followed the steps listed earlier in this thread. Moved the broken one to @_bad, so I guess it's still there.

There is another easy way to see which packages going to be updated

Running update again from working restored system with -s parameter

Terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudp apt-get upgrade -s

Ok, I just run sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade (from terminal cli).
I got a bunch of warnings, here is just a snippet of them:
"insserv: warning: script 'mountdevsubfs.sh' missing LSB tags and overrides

Is that bad? The other day when I tried to upgrade from the terminal GUI I got some of them also, is there any relation to problem I experienced? As a matter of fact I was upgrading mainly cause my TV Remote suddenly stopped working, but I'll post about it on another section of the forum if the problem persists.

Updating my post: Just tried to reboot my Xbian RPi and it didn't work, got the same problem, black screen with a login prompt.
If needed I captured the whole bunch of messages that went through the terminal window since I login to reboot.

Oh great. Still missing useful informations Dodgy

No, the insserv warnings are not bad, they are normal

In short words: the complete output of sudo apt-get upgrade -s to see which packages are ready for update
ATM, I know 3 things only:

- the problem is reproducible
- its not the kernel package (linux-image-bcm2836) and not the firmware (xbian-package-firmware) (because they are not snapshotted)
- the BTRFS fs seems to be ok, because rollback to a prior snapshot has been worked

That there were no other new XBian packages lately, I have no idea what could be responsible for this

Good, thanks, or not good Huh

This list completely confuses me. It looks like you haven't made any updates for over 2 months, but I don't find any binary XBian packages (like xbian-package-xbmc, xbian-package-vnc-server, linux-image-bcm2836) in the list, only architecture independent packages (for example xbian-package-config-shell)

This looks like the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list is not correct. Please show me this file, it should look something like this

Code:

deb http://apt.xbian.org/      stable  main    rpi2-buster    armv7l-buster

#deb http://apt.xbian.org/     staging  main    rpi2-buster    armv7l-buster

OMG, you're still running Stretch!

Sorry, but support of Stretch has been stopped at end of last year.

So there's no point in looking for errors any further
The best is to make a backup of your home directory and install a new image

An upgrade from Strectch to Buster doesn't seem to make sense to me because it takes a long time and might cause other errors

I was suspecting that, so I already downloaded all necessary. When, and how, should I changed from Stretch to Buster? Is it manual? How can I get aware about if such an update will occur, is there a way?

So there's no point in looking for errors any further
The best is to make a backup of your home directory and install a new image

An upgrade from Strectch to Buster doesn't seem to make sense to me because it takes a long time and might cause other errors

I was suspecting that, so I already downloaded all necessary. When, and how, should I changed from Stretch to Buster? Is it manual? How can I get aware about if such an update will occur, is there a way?

Ok, I know it's dumb but I couldn't restore my home backup file (I did it through a ssh xbian-config session and copied to my PC), it's an img.gz file named xbian_backup_home_2020-07-21-1710.btrfs.img.gz
I put it into /xbmc-backup/put_here_to_restore but nothing happened, it's been deleted every time. Shall I decompress it before putting it in there or is there any other procedure to do it?
