LibreElec 8.1.1 black screen with mouse pointer

  • Hello,

    I have an old Acer 5742 laptop on which I have LibreElec installed. Connected it to an AVR which is connected to a TV.

    I initially installed 8.0.0 a few months back and recently upgraded to 8.1.1. I noticed now that I when I restart my computer, there is about 2-3 minutes delay where the mouse is stuck on the black screen before the Kodi splash screen and the application is launched.

    I am attaching the dmesg log here: FViE

    Hope this helps... Thank you!

  • Please post the link to your kodi.log with debug logging enabled (enable debug logging, reboot, then post your log once Kodi has started).

    Also, the contents of "journalctl -a | pastebinit" would be interesting - please post that link too.

  • Hi Millhouse, thank you! I figured out the issue was in /storage/.cache/cores

    There were a lot of :

    -rw------- 1 root root 12845056 Sep 23 13:49 core.!storage!.kodi!addons!plugin.audio.spotify!resources!lib!spotty!x86-linux!spotty-x86_64.1506188942.11327

    See hYNF

    I just deleted the entire folder first using:

    Code
     find . -name '*.spotify*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm

    Then just removed the folder

    Code
    rm -r /storage/.cache/cores

    Startup is back to normal under 5 seconds from black screen to Kodi splash screen.

    Thanks once again!
