Hello out there,
tried to update to #0203 the system failed to boot. Error msg is:

error in prepare_sysroot: mount_common: could not mount /flash/system
starting debugging shell for boot step: prepare_sysroot   type exit to quit

Before update the system ran on #0126
what can I do?
oliaros

This sounds like your SD card has died (and is now corrupt), the /flash partition has become corrupt, or the SYSTEM file on /flash is corrupt.

I would suggest checking the FAT partition of the SD card in a Windows or Linux PC, and see if there are any errors.

You can try overwriting the SYSTEM file by extracting the same file from the #0203 tar archive (7zip will open tar files on Windows).

SYSTEM on /flash was corrupt. Size was around 2GB, normally it is just around 140k. I fixed it, now Leia works again.

BTW: How do I backup the micro SD, I don't want to loose all my preferences in case of a crash.

Thx, oliaros

Use the built-in LibreELEC Settings > System > Backup, then copy the backup file off the SD card and keep it somewhere safe in case you need to restore it.

[tjost]

Ignore my SSD1306 error. It was an hardware error. Sorry for confusion.

What I notice on Video/Audio sync problem on LiveTV is that some station had Dolby Digital 2.0/5.1 Sound but while the advertisement it is only mp2 stereo. On switching it starts the desync. After switching the audio the Audio and Video is back in sync.

I use a Raspberry Pi 3 with Pifi-Digi (hifiberry clone) on optical sp-dif

Does a recording of the channel have the same de-sync issue? 

no, didn't notice this.

since 0202 (or around) the addon libretro-compatibility can't be enabled.

Please update also Libreelec->packages/emulation with the missing emulators from Kodi-game->binary-addons
There are some emulators missing, e.g. vice, uae, uae4arm. They are in Kodi-repo, but not in LE
Don't know, if you, Milhouse can do this, but you surely know, who can do it
Thx

Yes, the binary API was bumped in #0203 ("Games: Keyboard remapping support", PR13374).

 When you will be doing this, please have a look at dosbox emulator as well. It has been in Libreelec->packages/emulation for some time, but it is missing in your RPi2 builds. Thanks.

thx for the hint, it works for the setting. But the /storage & its subdirs is not backed up. How can I copy this dir to the new micro sd? I can not mount it in Win and I do not have a Linux machine.

Use the built-in LibreELEC Settings > System > Backup, then copy the backup file off the SD card and keep it somewhere safe in case you need to restore it.  

thx for the hint, it works for the setting. But the /storage & its subdirs is not backed up. How can I copy this dir to the new micro sd? I can not mount it in Win and I do not have a Linux machine.

 Use the XBMC backup addon, it backs up everything, and can easily be restored to a new sd card..

Build #205.
With this build, all my system.d mount services fail with messages like this in the journal:

Feb 06 10:09:31 pi3a-LEv18 systemd[1]: Reached target Network is Online.
Feb 06 10:09:31 pi3a-LEv18 systemd[1]: media-Squeezebox.mount: Mount path /media
/Squeezebox is not canonical (contains a symlink).
Feb 06 10:09:31 pi3a-LEv18 systemd[1]: media-Squeezebox.mount: Failed to run 'mo
unt' task: Too many levels of symbolic links
Feb 06 10:09:31 pi3a-LEv18 systemd[1]: media-Squeezebox.mount: Failed with resul
t 'resources'.
Feb 06 10:09:31 pi3a-LEv18 systemd[1]: Failed to mount mount Squeezebox.

The shares in question  are all on a Windows 2008 R2 server.
The shares are on disks which Windows mounts as mountpoints under C:\Buckets\<drive> rather than as individual Windows drive letters.
This is presumably where the 'symbolic link' happens.
This is presumably down to kernel changes in the last couple of builds, as it was OK with #203.
I am reverting to #203 until this is cleared up.

First: thank you for your work! it looks great.
i think there is an issue in #129 and #204 with the lcd screensaver.
it shows always: 00:00

i tried this:
   <screensaver>
      <line>$INFO[LCD.Time41]</line>
      <line>$INFO[LCD.Time42]</line>
      <line>$INFO[LCD.Time43]</line>
      <line>$INFO[LCD.Time44]</line>
   </screensaver>

and this:
   <screensaver>
      <line>$INFO[System.CurrentWindow]</line>
      <line>$INFO[LCD.TimeWide21]</line>
      <line>$INFO[LCD.TimeWide22]</line>
      <line>Freemem: $INFO[System.FreeMemory]</line>
   </screensaver>

this is ok:
   <general>
      <line>XBMC running...</line>
      <line>$INFO[System.Time] $INFO[System.Date]</line>
      <line>Freemem: $INFO[System.FreeMemory]</line>
      <line>$INFO[System.ScreenWidth]x$INFO[System.ScreenHeight] $INFO[System.ScreenMode]</line>
   </general>

in this version it works:
 devel-20171116212859-#1116-g298a1c2 (RPi2.arm)

I have an RPi 2. The LCDd.conf:
## Hitachi HD44780 driver ##
[hd44780]
# Select what type of connection. See documentation for types.
ConnectionType=i2c
# Port where the LPT is. Usual value are: 0x278, 0x378 and 0x3BC
Port=0x3f
# Device of the serial interface [default: /dev/lcd]
Device=/dev/i2c-1

(Sorry i didn't find how to show this as code...)
