systemd error on startup with newest LibreELEC git image

nice · May 8, 2018 at 12:30 PM

I tried to build a new updated image and tar file for my Beelink S912 box out of the Git sources. I had a running system with a self made build from 30.04.2018.

The build process itself is working as expected and I'm getting the updated files.

But after an update with the newest tar and even with a new installation on SD card I always get an error message on startup:

systemd[1]: Caught <ABRT>, core dump failed (child 1907, code=killed, status=6/ABRT).

systemd[1]: Freezing execution.

Is there a workaround?

Thank goodness you posted this I also got this when building latest Git for my C2.

However it's the first time I've tried to build for this setup so I was convinced it was something I'd done wrong until I saw your thread!

I think it has something to do with the commits from Apr 30, 2018 updating systemd.

I haven't had chance to try some builds on an older commit yet.

I made the mistake of doing a make clean and starting over in case it was something that broke in my build so now I have to wait a few hours for it all to rebuild.. but once its done I'll try building from 30th and the 1st to see if it changes anything.

My last working build was Release c84b177, so it would be good to start testing with this.

I have had the same issue while building. I found a fix in the CoreELEC Github repository. I don't think I'm allowed to post a link here.

7231813 is the last commit that works for me. d2c4924 broke it.

I just copied all files under packages/sysutils/systemd/patches/ from the CoreELEC git to my local LibreELEC sources and the build resulted in a working image.

So thanks Nemisis !

no problem, we are just enforcing CE help threads to the CE forum - no problem to link to something
