All installations fail

Dear Community,

I'm a fresh LibreElec User and followed a guide from Ct (German Hardware Magazine) to get Netflix via a raspberry.

In order to do that I did the following steps:

I installed Libreelec via the SD Creator from here: libreelec_usb-sd_creator [LibreELEC] (for win32)

I created the (brand-new) SD card and inserted it into my (brand-new) raspberry pi 3 Model b.

I started the raspberry pi, which worked perfectly, I connected the raspberry to the wifi.

Then, I wanted to install add-ons. I tried several (9gag, ARD Mediathek ,3sat, BR, Kodinerds), which all failed with the message "installation failed".

I re-installed the libre-elec without any success regarding the addons.

What am I doing wrong?

Using the search function I found, that some people say a missing temp folder could be the cause.

To see if the temp folder is there I accesses the rasp via ssh and cd ./kodi/temp which worked (so there must be a temp folder)

To check, if the internet is working, I pinged google via the ssh access.

The log file can be accessed here: ZQIO

Cheers and many thanks in advance!

Dennis

Is your card already full? You can check this in ssh session with command

Code

df -h

Also enable debugging in kodi and post log file again after you try to install some addon.

Dear vpeter,

my sd-card (16gb) is brand-new and should not be full.

According to the system info, the free memory is 659 mb.

The command you provided above gives the following output:

DennisTV:~ # df -h

Filesystem	Size	Used	Available	Use%	Mounted on
devtmpfs	370.3M	0	370.3M	0%	/dev
/dev/mmcblk0p1	511.7M	141.5M	370.3M	28%	/flash
/dev/mmcblk0p2	27.0M	26.3M	0	100%	/storage
/dev/loop0	130.9M	130.9M	0	100%	/
tmpfs	375.8M	0	375.8M	0%	/dev/shm
tmpfs	375.8M	5.9M	369.9M	2%	/run
tmpfs	375.8M	0	375.8M	0%	/sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs	375.8M	1.9M	373.8M	1%	/var
tmpfs	375.8M	0	375.8M	0%	/tmp

Is the 100% Storage use the failure? How do I change that? I have a 16gb SD card - why is it already full?

Sorry for providing the incorrect log, you can find a new log here: UgDU

I tried to get the addons (FOCUS Online, BR, Das Erste Mediathek, Arte, 9gag, Fox News - just to try different ones)

Cheers,

Dennis

From the log:

Code

11:27:33.472 T:1763701664   ERROR: SQL: [Textures13.db] Insertion failed because database is full

/storage is 100% full so that is the issue.

LE always resizes the SD card on first boot but for some reason this did not happen. Did you see anything about resizing your SD card on first boot?

You could always try again (Remember to use the "safely remove" function in windows when the SD card has finished writing) or resize the card manually but that will involve booting your PC with a linux live CD (so maybe not the simplest thing to do)

Otherwise you could force a resize See Here

Create new sd card again, put in rpi and boot. On first boot it is resized and you should see this on TV.

After that all space will be available.

Dear vpeter,

thank you! this solved the issue with the storage, as you can see here:

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/mmcblk0p2 13.5G 9.6M 13.5G 0% /storage

However, I have a different issue now, I will see if I can fix it.

Cheers, Dennis!
