Unsupported/EOL HW/SW
1

Hello,
my CoreELEC system has got seriously ill. I wanted to restore a recent USB backup but I go a “write error: No space left on device”

CoreELEC:/ # systemctl stop kodi
CoreELEC:/ # cd / ; tar xvf /var/media/32GB/backup/CoreElec/20220709205522.tar
storage/.kodi/temp/kodi_crashlog_20220629211427.log
tar: write error: No space left on device
CoreELEC:/ #

This is my memory usage:

CoreELEC:/ # df -h

I need some free space to restore CoreElec from the tar backup. What should I delete?

Support for your type of internal install was dropped years ago.
Make a backup, restore Android and install again by the tool ceemmc.

I’m not sure I got Android, I’ve never seen Android like icons or logos during boot. How do I tell?

Any chance to revive the old system again? I love the Wetek 2 especially for its built-in DVB-T2 tuner. Otherwise I’d probably have to ditch it :frowning:
