System suddenly boots into safe mode

    Hoping to get a bit of guidance here.

    Today for what seems like a completely random reason, my system will not boot and now can only start up in safe mode.

    Installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB)

    Logs from the kodi.Failed folder are:

    kodi.log

    kodi_crash.log

    I can't really tell from the logs what might be the issue. Can anyone help?

    Possibly relevant add-ons which were installed:

    • Docker
    • Updater (via LinuxServer.io repo)
    • Portainer (via LinuxServer.io repo)
    • heimdall (via LinuxServer.io repo)
    • Janitor
    • Watchdog

    If it is one of the Docker add-ons causing an issue. Is there any way to remove add-ons via SSH?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    ssh in and delete /storage/.kodi/userdata/profiles.xml, then reboot, the file got corrupted.

    BTW: the profiles.xml corruption error should (hopefully) be fixed in LE 9.2.1, so it's best you upgrade your installation.

    That worked, thanks.

    Ended up having to delete /storage/.kodi.FAILED/userdate/profiles.xml to get it working again.

    Have now updated to 9.2.1 so hopefully this is a one-off.

    Same issue as above, delete profiles.xml.

    BTW: you are running a really old build, I highly recommend updating to official LE 9.2.1 or a community build which includes kodi 18.6 - that issue should be fixed there.

    so long,

    Hias
