X-NEWA Launches But Only Displays Blank/Black Screen

[BrettB]

Just in case someone else runs into this same problem, I wanted to post with info to save others' time.

When I launched X-NEWA this morning, all that I got was a blank screen. I tried rebooting the PI, stopping and restarting the NextPVR Recording Service, turning on debugging, etc. Finally, I noticed this line in the kodi.log:

Code:

12:14:19 T:1832866880  NOTICE: [Errno 28] No space left on device

I was using an old 2GB micro SD card, and sure enough, it was indeed full.

FYI, here's what I did to fix the problem:

1. Shutdown Kodi and the RPi
   
2. Remove the micro SD card from the RPi
   
3. Put the card in my Windows machine
   
4. Use Win32 Disk Imager to copy the card contents to an image file
   
5. Remove the micro SD card from Windows and replace with a larger card
   
6. Use Win32 Disk Imager to write the image file to the new card
   
7. Put the new card into the RPi and boot
   
8. At this point, the /storage partition is still the old size on the new card. Forunately, OpenElec has a super easy what to fix this.
   
9. SSH into the RPi and login as root
   
10. Use the command touch /storage/.please_resize_me to create a file to trigger OpenElec to resize the partition
    
11. Reboot the RPi
    
12. When OpenElec boots, it will find the trigger file and expand the storage partition to fill the SD card

I ran into this problem and found out that temp/x-newa used up all free 12.8 GB of storage on my chromebox. I deleted all jpg files, but is there a way to avoid this? This is the second time it happens. Thanks.

That reminds me I need to update the x-newa repo with the release 2.4.7 that fixes this the release candidate has bee available for weeks.

Is it the same as pre-release posted in another thread?

I think I made one fix I think playing from the guide in x-newa itself. but yes.
