Update OSMC

Note: For whatever reason, OSMC and Kodi updates frequently fail with my skin of choice. These commands seem to fix the issue without needing to reflash the micro SD card.

Open a terminal window, and run the commands

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

$ sudo apt autoremove

# sudo reboot

Troubleshooting

ID KEY

If sudo apt-get update displays a message like this:

There is no public key available for the following key IDs: ♣id_key♣

Then run the command and rerun the update:

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys KEY_ID ♣id_key♣

$ sudo apt-get update
