[FreeMan xbmc]

I've been happily running standalone Kodibuntu 14.0 on my ASUS Chromebox since around Nov '14, so thank you very much, Matt!

I decided that it was time to update to 14.2, and that's when things went haywire. In the process of doing so, it seems that I ran out of space on my 16GB drive part way through the upgrade:

Code:

xbmc@xbmc:~$ df -h
df: â/run/user/107/gvfsâ: Permission denied
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        13G   13G     0 100% /
none            4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev            924M  4.0K  924M   1% /dev
tmpfs           188M  804K  187M   1% /run
none            5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
none            938M  4.0K  938M   1% /run/shm
none            100M  4.0K  100M   1% /run/user
overflow        1.0M  1.0M     0 100% /tmp

I'm now stuck with a box that boots to a Ubuntu desktop login screen, but won't start Kodi. I cannot login to the desktop at all, but I can still SSH in from another machine.

I posted in this thread about it, and that's where the out of disk space issue was discovered, however, that thread seems to have run out of steam. You can read the short saga there to see all the steps I've taken in an attempt to get things working again.

At this point, I have a non-funcitonal Kodi box and a very unhappy family. I'd be happy to just return to 14.0 and stay there for a while, if necessary, but, as noted in my other thread, uninstall procedures don't seem to be working.

• Should I return to the OP here to reinstall from scratch?
  • if so, I presume I should use one of the curl commands to download the menu, then use option 8 for a fresh install
• Is there a directory that I can purge to free up some space so I can get a working machine?
  
• Since I have over 1500 movies and 5000+ TV episodes, is the database chewing up all that disk space?
  • Would I be better off moving to a remove SQL database on my file server (where all the actual shows reside)
    
  • Would I be better off buying a larger m.sata drive and reinstalling the whole thing on that?
    
  • If I buy a new drive, what size would be recommended? I don't want to run out of space again, but I'm not up for massive overkill, either.

Thanks again for a great tool, and thanks for helping me through this issue!
