Narrowed it down to xbian-update 20150407-1 All the other updates work fine.
see my comment in that issue
Same problem here. Applied today's update via the SSH menu, rebooted and... it fails with the same error message as @Smultie is seeing.
@mk01 I can't answer your question in the other thread as I can't get in via SSH (my Pi is wireless only, I guess the boot sequence is failing before the wireless connection is initialised) but I've never manually set anything on the Pi... I did a clean installation when the Pi v2 arrived, then applied every update through the SSH menu. No manual changes to config files, no installations via apt-get etc. Just a 'vanilla' configuration! Hope that helps.
@thomasbishop
sorry for the break. I removed that particular xbian-update from apt already - hopefully you are just few users who managed to process that update almost instantly.
indeed that info helped and I have the feeling it will be ok with the fixed package (already released). just need it to get confirmed from you (once you manage to get to your RPI) and @Smultie.
@Smultie will just reinstall xbian-update because his PRI manage to start with network, ... you will have to remove /etc/default/tmpfs file (if my theory is correct), then reboot, ... then your RPI should boot correctly, then try the last xbian-update. it should be ok after this update.
I have the feeling the problem with /home mounting (or even bigger with you) wasn't caused directly by the new code - and being dormant, but with wrong /etc/default/tmpfs file update -> some parts updated to garbage (as @mkreisl said earlier).
mount/mountall is reading this file and that's the moment when it probably due to the garbage collapses (whole boot in your case, "only" incorrect mounting for @Smultie)).
once you guys recover and retest, report please back.
OK, thanks - I'll try that. I just tried booting with keyboard plugged in but the system is completely frozen after the line:
[ ok ] Setting up X socket directories... /tmp/.X11-unix /tmp/ .ICE-unix.
so I'll need to pull the SD card and open it on another computer to delete the tmpfs
file. Will report back asap.
uncomment initramfs.gz line in /boot/config.txt to have boot with initramfs (or if it is booting like that) - just hold left shift on keyboard. you will get recovery shell right away. with some short howto.
@thomasbishop you won't mount the root of another (not patched accordingly) kernel.
still, to save you from panic and reflash - edit cmdline.txt on the 1st fat partition, put keyword "rescue" and save, edit config.txt and uncomment "initramfs.gz" line.
you will get recovery shell (with rootfs mounted under /rootfs/). so delete
rm /rootfs/etc/default/tmpfs
reb
(reb instead of reboot is correct)
Your comments didn't work @mk01 After doing what you told, still no Kodi and no home-folder.
I have the same problems and think that it is a general problem with an updated package for the pi 2. i tried the stable release and also the relase of 2015.04.04. after an apt-get update & upgrade and a reboot xbian stopped working. Error message described at the top from Smultie . Very strange.
@Smultie
and if you revert to xbian-update last before april ? 20150304-2
apt-get install xbian-update=20150304-2
?
No problem with all xbian-update version before 20150307-1. So only problems with 20150307-1 and 20150308-0.
I ran into the same error reported by thomasbishop when I update to 20150408-0 (either via 20150407-0 or directly from an earlier backup). Pinning xbian-update to version 20150304-2 and all is ok again.
Before getting stuck at the (unrelated?) X socket directories message it is displaying the Loading splash screen for an unusually long time.
Same problem here... fortunately i only updated 1 of my units.... (2 rpi 1 B units)
Hmm, why do I have no problems with 20150307-1 and 20150308-0 ? Tested on my 2 PIs, no issue
@mkreisl what RPi version do you have? I have an RPi 2.
I have an RPi 1 model B instead.
@Smultie 2x RPi 1B
rpi2 narrowed down the issue back to update 20150407-1
same problem with my rpi b
Same here, RPI2. Even cable-connection is giving troubles... Is someone having problems even with "reboot" or "halt"? Are those 2 working for you?
sudo apt-get install xbian-update=20150304-2 Fix it and everything works fine now
sudo apt-get install xbian-update=20150407-0 works fine too

I can confirm apt-get install xbian-update=20150407-0 works on my rpi2 too.
I've removed 20150408-0
. That should at least fix the spread of the issue to more users.
If I'm current, only 20150407-1 was removed.
http://apt.xbian.org/pool/stable/main/x/xbian-update/
20150407-0 is still on there.

I updated my post. 20150407-0
was wrongly named on the server so i couldn't find it.
Hello, I had the same problem yesterday and I've reinstalled my Pi2... (didn't know I could just downgrade to fix it).
Can I turn the auto update ON again now or should I wait ?
@CurlyMoo just reinstalled the OS (again) an hour ago, updated (minus xbian-package-xbmc because of the reasons on the other thread) and so far no problems.
Hi there, I was running into the same issue yesterday with my RPi 1 B+. Running "apt-get install xbian-update=20150304-2" fixed it (thank you, @mk01!).
20150407-0 works, but the list of local installed packages (nzbget etc..) si empty.
also 20150407-0 on rpi2 doesn't allow for additional packages to be installed, as it brakes dependencies (libc6 error?). Has to flash back to 20150304-2, install all updates except xbian-update-20150407-0, and the packages are then fine.
Moral of the story from my side on an RPI2: 20150304-2 is fine, 20150407-0 has broken packages list/installation.
update on this. I restored a previous 20150304-2 backup, and carefully did an apt-get update/apt-get upgrade, and now running 20150407-0 on the pi2 with the list of packages all in order...
So unsure what was my previous issue (dodgy file/fs?).
Still getting a kernel panic/freeze every few days, so me thinking that 3.18 kernel (especially around the ethernet driver) is still a bit unstable :-)
@xiolo
xbian-update itself didn't change own dependencies for a while so you are right it was "something in the clouds".
@all
returning back to original topic - I would like to deploy the code (changed xbian-run.conf). as I can't replicate the issue on mine boxes, I would need someone who original had problem with the mentioned xbian-update and can provide remote access (so I would ssh in the box). that also means that the test subject's "broken" system should be like @Smultie's. no /home mounted, xbmc not starting (due to /home), but ssh works - so I would see untouched system after reboot.
if nobody goes voluntarily, I will go one by one without asking :D
@mk01 I can test for you, no problem.
@mk01 Sorry man, i made a clean installation after that bug..
@Smultie
this time no "test for me" ... I would need to see it myself (so I need logging in).
Okay. I can provide you access. Just tell me what you need.
tell me a approx timing when you could loose maybe 1h doing anything but RPI. and I would send you deb. you dpkg -i , reboot... and provide access credentials. so ~10min, then I won't need you. (we do snap before and rollback after so as I logout, you have your system back)
((I will try to diagnose your opening post failure log)))
Now would be fine Can you come to IRC?

also 20150407-0 on rpi2 doesn't allow for additional packages to be installed, as it brakes dependencies (libc6 error?). Has to flash back to 20150304-2, install all updates except xbian-update-20150407-0, and the packages are then fine.
how did you flash back? I'm on 20150407-0 on rpi2 and can't install anything (even the old updates), I'm quite stuck as it is now. I'm unable to physically access the SD card, so I would really prefer a solution over ssh (or directly via keyboard). Can anyone help me with this?
Kodi doesn't start at bootup and the /home directory is empty
Whenever I login with SSH:
