Sed: write error during boot on latest generic beta

robmcc83 · November 5, 2019 at 10:50 PM

Hi all,

Just installed le 9.1.502 generic on my computer.

During boot it pops up with "sed: write error"

Is this a problem or is it safe to ignore.

Im using a amd 2200g with built in vega 8 video, 16gb ddr4 ram and libreelec is installed onto my m2 ssd.

Thanks in advance

I can confirm this error has been introduced in version 9.1.502

Ive just downgraded to 9.1.501 and the sed write error has now gone.

Obviously I would like to run the latest version so any info on what this is would be very much appreciated.

Still looking for a answer on this one guys to try figure out what it is causing the error on boot.

Thanks

Does image works? If yes ignore this error?

When does it appear? Could you take a picture?

robmcc83 · November 25, 2019 at 10:06 AM

It comes up just before the "libreelec (official) 9.1.502" text appears in the top left corner of my screen.

It's only there for a second or 2 so hard to get a picture lol.

The image still works but just want to know if this error is safe to ignore.

I also get 2 other warnings that load before the sed write error, they can not show for a while or they can appear almost every reboot sometimes.

I asked before a while back regarding these 2 warnings but had no response.

Thanks

If you are familiar with SSH can you run this command and post url you get. Maybe there could be something useful in it.

Code

journalctl -l --no-pager | pastebinit

I've recorder the errors using my phone then took screen shots.

These are in order of the warnings that pop up.

Thanks

Do you have Bluetooth active, and / or any Bluetooth related add-ons installed?

robmcc83 · November 25, 2019 at 3:03 PM

I have a logitech Bluetooth dongle plugged into my computer, but I don't have any Bluetooth addon installed.

I use the Bluetooth dongle for ps3 controllers which work just fine without any modifications.

Thanks

Sounds OK to me. In relation to your first screenshot ("Invalid Connector...") it could be a Bluetooth bug on LE 9.1.502.

You can try with disabled Bluetooth to check my theory.

It's probably not the right time to go into this issue too much, because I expect the LE release 9.1.503 or 9.2 every moment.

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

I have tried with Bluetooth disabled and removing the Bluetooth dongle from the computer. I still get the 2 warnings and then the sed write error afterwards.

Here is the same log but with the bluetooth adapter no longer plugged into the USB port.

Thx for testing. The above error is still there - could be a pulseaudio error then. You could play around with the audio output device settings.

PS: Both logs say, you're running LE in system mode:

Code

Nov 25 10:36:31 LibreELEC pulseaudio[320]: W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set.
Nov 25 10:36:31 LibreELEC pulseaudio[320]: W: [pulseaudio] main.c: Home directory of user 'root' is not '/var/run/pulse', ignoring.
Nov 25 10:36:31 LibreELEC pulseaudio[320]: W: [pulseaudio] caps.c: Normally all extra capabilities would be dropped now, but that's impossible because PulseAudio was built without capabilities support.
Nov 25 10:36:31 LibreELEC pulseaudio[320]: W: [pulseaudio] main.c: OK, so you are running PA in system mode. Please make sure that you actually do want to do that.

robmcc83 · November 25, 2019 at 4:25 PM

Not quite sure what system mode is I'm afraid.

It is a clean install of libreelec 9.1.502.

I use the USB creator tool and just install libreelec onto my internal ssd.

I have not changed any audio settings etc.

Libreelec 9.1.501 give me the first 2 warnings, the same as 9.1.502 does but the sed: write error is a new error that only happens with libreelec 9.1.502, it doesn't happen with 9.1.501.

Thanks

As expected, you can try LE 9.2 now, and give feedback from there.

Thanks for getting back to me

Upgraded to 9.2 and still have the same warnings/errors during boot.

Here are the above logs now taken running le 9.2
