Can you delete or rename storage/.kodi/userdata/profiles.xml?

Linkinsoldier · March 31, 2019 at 9:02 PM

renaming worked for me! Thanks

spk-uke · August 5, 2019 at 9:49 PM

I just ran into the same problem. My profiles.xml was 0 bytes in size and directly after renaming it, LE booted up.

**Da Flex** · August 6, 2019 at 3:40 AM Official Post

I had a safe mode issue, too, shortly with LE 9.1.002. I think it was triggered by a settings change I made.

I have been changed "Settings -> Services -> General -> Device name". My advice is to keep this setting untouched at "Kodi".

BuzzyTrent · October 31, 2019 at 9:33 AM

I too am having the same issue as above. My log file is similar to OPs.

http://ix.io/20ob

I have tried renaming the profiles.xml file in both KODI/KODI.FAILED directory.

Pasting the contents of a working profiles.xml (from varies forums) into each profiles.xml in each directory systematically.

Deleting guisettings.xml.

Deleting KODI. folder, rebooting.

Deleting KODI. folder, renaming KODI.FAILED to KODI.,rebooting.

I have no files in /storage/.kodi/temp/ to delete.

And I have no idea how to fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated at this point

Since downgrading to LE 9.0.2 I have no safe mode issues on my RPi anymore.

It looks like your microSD card is bad:

Code

Core was generated by `/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone -fs'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

So check the card for bad blocks, and eventually repair (GParted tool, only for advanced geeks) or replace it.

Hi!

Today when I checked my rPI it was that way too.

I already renamed the profiles.xml (as suggested above) but didn't worked, it still booting in safe mode.

This is my logs: http://ix.io/20xt and http://ix.io/20xv

Can someone help me?

**Iridium** · November 6, 2019 at 11:41 AM Official Post

Try creating profile.xml in ./kodi/userdata

With

Display Spoiler

<useloginscreen>false</useloginscreen>

<name>Master user</name>

<directory pathversion="1">special://masterprofile/</directory>

<lockaddonmanager>false</lockaddonmanager>

<lockfiles>false</lockfiles>

<lockmusic>false</lockmusic>

<lockvideo>false</lockvideo>

<lockpictures>false</lockpictures>

<lockprograms>false</lockprograms>

<lockgames>false</lockgames>

</profile>

</profiles>

Save and reboot.

edjalmo · November 6, 2019 at 11:57 AM

Iridium don't worked, it still boot in safe mode

**Iridium** · November 6, 2019 at 12:26 PM Official Post

Try following this Wiki

edjalmo · November 6, 2019 at 2:00 PM

Thanks, Iridium !

I tested the profile.xml you share again and it worked after reboot! (I created in .kodi.FAILED folder too). I probably did something wrong in the first time.

My logs say something to I know what the cause of this?

**Iridium** · November 6, 2019 at 5:39 PM Official Post

@edjalmo Sorry no idea. Never experienced the "Safe Mode" nor did I know about the Wiki entry before this.

Error was:

Do you run with profiles?

No, I don't use profiles.

This is my logs: http://ix.io/20xt and http://ix.io/20xv

The first log contains the same error that BuzzyTrent has:

Code

Core was generated by `/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin --standalone -fs'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

My suggestion is the same: Check your microSD card.

Using the GParted tool, like you suggested above?

Edit: this is a bootable image, don't sound like it's a easy thing to use

Can I copy my entire sd card to another new, and if this problem is with this sd card they will not happen again, right? If yes, how can I do this (since exist hidden partitions/folders)?

This SD card had total uptime in LibreELEC of 200 days and had no problem until today. The only thing that happened before safe mode was in Sonarr, this monday his the db had corrupted (but I restored one backup and back to normal).

edjalmo, if LE works fine now, I would only do a backup to store your settings. So you can reformat / repair the card in case "segmentation fault" will happen again.

More easy!

I will do this! Thanks!
