Generic LE13 nightly after 2026-05-17 needs 1GB boot partition

    tried to update my nightly

    during decompression it says something like:

    "your fat partition is to small, it should be 1024 MB"

    df -h|grep -iE 'flash|storage'
    /dev/sda1 511.7M 309.9M 201.8M 61% /flash
    /dev/sda2 407.7G 34.9G 372.7G 9% /storage

    the nightly image increased in size: it is ~513 MB versus the elder are ~310 MB

    A bug or an requirement change ???

    The default boot partition was enlarged from 512MB > 1GB last year to accomodate nVidia driver increases over time, and Generic now (since yesterday) supports current nVidia GPU cards hence the sudden size increase.

    The fastest workaround is to use the backup function in the settings add-on (captures /storage/.cache|.config|.kodi) and move that off box, reinstall to create a clean instance with larger boot partition, then restore the backup. Beware anything outside of those ^ folders that you also want to preserve. Resizing partitions can also be done using e.g. Gparted on an Ubuntu LiveUSB, but it will be significantly slower (10x slower if not more).
