Failed to start Xorg Server after a week of usage

Hi,

I have to reinstall libreelec every couple of days/weeks at the moment. Something brakes upon restart and I don't know what it could be.

I am getting an failed to start xorg error after several restarts. I install libreelec, restore my backup and after a couple of restarts the error occurs again? What could wrong, I disabled automatic updates...

This is on an x86 system. i5 4570, nvidia gtx 1030. Using legacy generic libreelec distro.

Please post log urls of journalctl|paste via ssh for the working and not working case.

I just reinstalled, so here is the log from a working system for now:

^ Users running Sonarr are probably running other apps to download of content from torrent networks. Running piracy crapware on your LE install will a) result in no support in this forum (you can run what you like, but we don't support pirates) and b) it's almostly certainly the cause of your "system degrades to the point where it's unusable" problem. Just look at all the errors being spewed into the journal.

Solution A: Remove the background crapware and run the OS as it was intended and it won't degrade

Solution B: Run another distro and become someone else's problem

If you're not a pirate and want support to continue: prove it with clean logs and configuration examples.
