Kodi flooding XSession errors and filling up disk.

Posted on Author Kodi Community Forum - All Forums

I have a Ubuntu 16.04.1 installed on my NUC.

After I reboot, I can see .xsession-errors increasing in size rapidly. The below is after < 1 minutes.

Code:
-rw-------  1 kodi kodi 3466402072 Jan 20 18:49 .xsession-errors
-rw-------  1 kodi kodi 6548127878 Jan 20 18:46 .xsession-errors.old

Running a tail -f on the file gives me nothing but continious output of:

Code:
extern "Python": function Cryptography_rand_bytes() called, but @ffi.def_extern() was not called in the current subinterpreter.  Returning 0.
extern "Python": function Cryptography_rand_status() called, but @ffi.def_extern() was not called in the current subinterpreter.  Returning 0.

Moving the kodi config folder, no longer presented the issue. I’m guessing some addon is the culprit. Since no major update has been available kodi hence I’m pointing to an addon.

It can also be the cec adapter that has been soldered and it did have a recent driver update. I did run kodi in debug mode and have attached here: http://pastebin.com/WNtEM2Nj

My whole setup worked fine till yesterday. Out of the blue it appeared.

The symptoms it caused:

  1. Library cannot be updated or cleaned
  2. Fan art wont display
  3. hangs up and will not respond till a reboot.

Can someone help me isolate or pin point the issue?
