Kodi filling up syslog - Daniel Malmgren - 2017-01-20 Hi all. Today suddenly my htpc is doing something very strange. It's spewing out the following line in /var/log/syslog: Code: Jan 20 20:25:03 htpc xinit[1073]: extern "Python": function Cryptography_rand_status() called, but @ffi.def_extern() was not called in the current subinterpreter. Returning 0. Everything seems to work as it should, but it's filling up the harddisk very fast with syslog, we're talking hundreds of meg per second. Anyone knows what's happening? Googling the error doesn't give me much. Currently I'm truncating syslog once every minute so that my family won't kill me because they can't look at "På spåret" /Daniel edit: Found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1636573 Can't really understand why this is suddenly happening. Is it only me? edit 2: Yep, the solution in the last comment worked. Sorry for my total panic :-) RE: Kodi filling up syslog - triptolemeus - 2017-01-20 Had this as well. I guess you are on Ubuntu 16.04. The solution is to install python-openssl from yakketi (17.04). Naturally you need to include the dependencies as well. Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list Code: deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu yakkety main Then do the following: Code: sudo apt-get update Then remove the lines from your /etc/apt/sources.list again to prevent your system from completely updating to yakkety. RE: Kodi filling up syslog - Daniel Malmgren - 2017-01-21 I ended up downloading and installing deb files for python-openssl and python-cryptography (for Zesty) manually, after that everything works again. Still really understand what suddenly caused this though...

Still really understand what suddenly caused this though... I have done the same (I am on ubuntu 16.04 with jarvis 16.1) And now i have the following versions: python-cryptography is already the newest version (1.5-2). python-openssl is already the newest version (16.1.0-1). However when I clean library, I still have kodi filling logs. At my place it is in ~/.cache/upstart/unity-settings-daemon.log Not fixed for me. Any ideas ?

Still really understand what suddenly caused this though... My mistake, I have upgraded to yakkety versions. I am updating to zesty versions right now. python-cryptography is already the newest version (1.7.1-2). python-openssl is already the newest version (16.2.0-1). It works with zesty versions. RE: Kodi filling up syslog - kc333 - 2017-05-07 I have Ubuntu 16.04LTS and Kodi 17 and I got it solved. Post # 2 almost has it correct but nstead of using yakkety, use zesty and also need to get python-cryptography. It needs the latest python-openssl version 16.2.0-1 python-cryptography version 1.7.1-2 from zesty To get those from zesty without having to upgrade to zesty do this: Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty main Then do the following: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -t=zesty install python-openssl sudo apt-get -t=zesty install python-cryptography (you should see it saying messages that it is installing the appropriate version of those things) Then remove the line from your /etc/apt/sources.list to prevent your system from completely updating to zesty. RE: Kodi filling up syslog - dixons - 2017-05-12 Installed the updates.After a couple of tries ( I think the sources.list needed to be updated by reboot) everything seems OK. Will check log after a few days. Might even go back to unity from gnome Thanks RE: Kodi filling up syslog - eupharis - 2017-09-21 Had this issue too! kc333's steps worked beautifully for me. Remember to Code: apt-get update after adding the zesty line to your /etc/apt/sources.list! |
