[x86-64] The “LibreELEC Configuration” add‑on does not start and it is not possible to launch ssh.

  • I’ve already read this topic, but how can I grant access to the LibreELEC configuration if SSH is unavailable? I tried to do everything via HTTP — it connects; I tried to access the files via the command line and enter SSH (also with a negative result); I can’t even view the folders in the system by IP — it doesn’t detect them. I’ve tried different versions of Kodi — either I’m stupid, or I don’t know. I’d be very grateful for any help.

  • Hi, In the LibreElec addon you can enable the SSH service.
    To access the file system without LE, the simplest way is to boot a live linux from USB.
    Hint: install the Ventoy boot manager to your USB stick then "drop" one (or more) live-linux ISO file to stick.

  • Edit the syslinux.cfg file in the LIBREELEC partition on USB/SD boot media and add ssh to the boot params line. This will force the daemon to start on boot. However if this is a clean LE12.x install, something is wrong for the add-on to be faulting or not running and SSH access probably won't solve that, and I'd recommend retesting with a current LE13 nightly first.

    The night build also fails to open the LibreELEC configuration; I edited the file, but it ignores it.
