At the moment stability of LE 9.0.1 is more important.
Are there issues with the stability of 9.0.1?
Just to reconsider upgrading from 8.2.5 or wait until 9.0.2 or next iteration considered enough stable.
Thanks for the answer!
New commit matches better with new enhaced security policy ("changeable SSH passwords and a default firewall configuration" etc.)
I realized that the SSH server has DSA keys enabled by default. I'm wondering why.
The change is in "sshd_config" config file and is forced by this commit: Fix ssh pacakge - enable root password login, ssh-dss public key · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@6390ccb · GitHub made by milhouse.
Just curious about that. Thanks!
AFAIK a dd image of full card is a "identical clone" with exactly the same files. A single file cannot be erased when making the copy.
The only option I can think of is that the files are deleted by some script when booting.
If you write down zero on filesystem's free space prior to making the image, then the image can be compressed with a good ratio using standard compression utils (zip, rar, 7zip, etc.).
I'd say defragmenting first helps to get better compression results but not sure on this.
In linux you can use zerofree for ext2/3/4 partitions. In windows SDelete can be used for "zeroing" free space.
Thank you!
Checking the dates I noticed that the last correct compilation had to be with Ubuntu 17.04.
I forgot that upgraded my Ubuntu in between. My fault.
Hi!
I'm trying to compile LE 8.2.0.1 but i'm getting an error.
The weird thing its that i was able to compile without problems a few months ago (8.0.2 version). But now the process stops with errors (both on 8.0.2 and 8.0.2.1).
To be sure, i've cloned again the repository in a new directory and compile from zero, but error is still here.
I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 amd64.
Any help is very welcome.

If so, maybe you can try the image from this post: Wake from suspend (CEC)
Its Libreelec compiled against updated libcec and with this change reverting 256, fixing the LG input change when tv turned on · dbrosy/libcec@d9407d3 · GitHub that it's supposed to fix the problem of always switching to Kodi HDMI input.
Be aware that this image is only for RaspberryPi2/3.
To update you can follow instructions from : Update LibreELEC [LibreELEC.wiki]
Depending on your setup you may not be able to solve the problem only through configuration options.
There are some bugs with libCEC library and LG televisions.
In this thread there is more information and some fixed images to download:
I enabled CEC logs to see what is happening.
The restarting is around 22:41:44.
The only thing i see is that Recorder 1 (Kodi i guess) is marked as active source just before the TV is turned on:

Full log is here:
The issue only happens when RPi is connected to soundbar and soundbar to TV.
When RPi is connected directly to TV on different HDMI than soundbar, the TV does not power on.
RPi is always ON. The soundbar powers on and off with the TV (through CEC also).
Yes, CEC is enabled on the TV. I use the TV remote to control Kodi and soundbar.
I also disabled all the CEC options in Kodi (except for "enabled").
I have LG TV with a soundbar connected to HDMI ARC Input, and a Raspberry+Libreelec connected to the soundbar.
What happens is that if i power off the TV when is selected the Kodi input, it automatically turns ON after about 5-10 seconds.
The only way i've found to power off the TV is to change the input to antenna (aerial TV) and then power off the TV. But it does not work always and from time to time the TV cames up again after a random time (minutes to hours).
This behaviour does not happen when Kodi is directly connected to TV using another HDMI input instead through the soundbar. But there are some other pitfalls in this configuration, so i prefer to have the RPi connected to the soundbar.
I enabled debugging and do: play video -> stop -> shutdown TV -> wait for TV to power ON -> play same video again -> stop -> shutdown TV -> wait for TV to power ON.
The power off times in the log are 18:03:11.084 and 18:03:50.791.
The log is here:
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
Does that mean that Raspberry users will have to deal with libCEC for a very long time?
I think that's bad news 
With the new support of CEC inside kernel (now including Raspberry since 4.14), its planned to migrate from libCEC?
And this will be a Kodi related issue or Libreelec can decide to do the migration without waiting for Kodi updates?
The libCEC project is not frequently updated (for example, latest commit broke compilation under Raspberry and nobody fix or revert anything since July). And version 4 of the library has caused problems to several people.
Thanks,
Hi!
I have a RPi2 connected to a LG TV.
Since LE 8.0.0, the problems with the remote have been a big pain. Basically the system was unusable and i have to downgrade to LE 7.
Finally, using LE 8.0.2 plus libcec version f2c4ca7 seems to resolve near all the issues (3953f8d version was also valid except for some pause related bug).
I dont know if that version can be pushed into LibreElec or if its necessary to wait until the libcec guys makes a new release and Kodi team upgrades the lib too.
In any case, i hope this info will be helpful to anyone that have similar problem.
Regards,
