LibreElec Add-on download failed

1st Official Post

    Hello,

    I'm a new user of LibreElec on a Raspberry PI zero W on which I try to run pocket projector from MickMake.

    I've successfully installed LE 9.2.6 and Kodi runs perfectly,

    But when I want to install any add-ons like system-tools that is required to activate I2C, the download fails.

    I've tried other add-ons like Kodi log viewer, JDownloader, ... but all of them refused to be installed !

    I have an IP address and I can have a remote connection via SSH so it's not a network issue.

    I don't know how to view a log file to better understand what is wrong on my configuration.

    As I'm a windows user (nobody is perfect ;)) I'm not very familiar with linux system.

    Thank you for your help.

    Kind Regards

    Cal78

    Please provide a full debug log.

    How to post a log (wiki)

    1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
    2. Restart Kodi
    3. Replicate the problem
    4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

    use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

    Hi Chewitt,

    please find below the link to my kodi.log : http://pastebin.com/DxyGPMTV

    It seems to be a problem of disk space with SQLLite DB.

    I have installed Leia image on a sd card of 32 gb but may be there are some actions to do to resize a partition ?

    Thank you very much for your help

    Best regards

    Running "df -h" will show the size of the disk, and "ls -l /storage/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db" will show size of the DB file (which has no limits on size) so either this is a new install where for reasons unknown the default 32Kb /storage partition failed to resize to 100% of the available space during install (if yes, recreate the SD card and start over, or connect it to a Linux desktop to resize the partition with Gparted) or perhaps there's an isssue where the DB file is zero bytes (if yes, just delete it and reboot).

    Hi Chewitt,

    yes you're right it's a problem of disk space as the Addons database is sized to 2 Mb :

    PIProjector:~ # df -h

    As it is stored on a 32 Gb sd card, I can resized the partition and I have an other Raspberry PI (RPI 400 :) ) so I can use Gparted.

    Can I abuse of your experience to get instructions on Raspbian for using Gparted when I put the sd card in a USB reader with my RPI 400 ?

    I promise to read Linux for Newbies next month :)

    I do most partitioning work on remote servers via CLI so it's maybe 2.5 years since I last used gparted and I couldn't give you steps without installing a distro to describe it from .. and I'm not interested in that level of spoon-feeding. Just make the SD card again and let the installer expand things on first-boot. I'd guess you can't have installed or done much before running out of space so it's not hard to start over.

    Hi,

    just for your information I used GParted on my second raspberry (it's really easy to use) and saw the content of SD Card with 2 partitions :

    - sda1 in fat16 of 512 Mb where 370 Mb are unused

    - sda2 in ext4 of 29 Gb with only 60 Mb used for storage

    So I think there was a problem during first installation and I read on the forum that it could happen so I will try tips with fs-resize and if it doesn't work, I will make a new SD Card.

    Thank you
