Ok, I seem to have fixed it, it is now booting up properly, but the background it staying red as if it is safe mode.

Thank you for your help it got me started!

**EDIT** figured that out, it was just a setting in the theme! Thank you.

So my system (LibreELEC on a desktop PC) booted into safe mode this evening. I thought it must have been a mistake, so hit reboot and now I am stuck in a boot loop. I get the LibreELEC logo and then the whole system crashes and I get the computer BIOS again. there isn't enough time to retrieve logs or try disabling add-ons.

Is there any way of forcing safe mode again?

I am trying to learn how to compile libreelec and so I am following the guide on the wiki.

I started trying the download tool:

PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 tools/download-tool

but it kept giving me this error:

Cant't get opengl-meson sources : http://sources.libreelec.tv/devel/opengl-meson-0.0invalid.tar.xz

So I ran the command:

PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 make image

and then it ran for ages doing lots of stuff until eventually I got this:

sr/include/sys/cdefs.h:452:10: fatal error: bits/wordsize.h: No such file or directory
 #include <bits/wordsize.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have also tried just compiling an addon:

PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 scripts/create_addon network-tools

but after a load of compiling I get a load of errors like this:

FAILURE: gcc:host.build.failed exists, a previous dependency process has failed (seq: 25)

Have I missed some crucial step?

Addon needs to be rebuild.

Is that something I need to do? How do I do it?

Quote from Iridium

Hmm. Definitely sounds like a bug to me.

Can you create a ticket Here

Don't forget to mention H/W, RPi, X86 etc.

I don't think it is hardware specific. I think everyone with 9.0.1 would experience the same error

I am running libreelec 9.0.1 and have installed network tools from the repository.

When I try to run lftp I get the following error:

LibreELEC:~ # lftp
lftp: error while loading shared libraries: libidn2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

Did you manage to push a fix?

I am still experiencing this same issue.
