Did you use NOOBS?

I've read up and it sounds like that is the issue. NOOBS sends the command to the TV through the HDMI so the commands that tell the TV to NOT turn on are only parsed once Raspbian loads.

That's the way I understood it anyway. But OSMC does the job pretty well, but I have a few things I am still fiddling with. Much lower CPU overhead is a benefit at least

When I had the issue it was a NOOBS install yes. Rasplex I just flashed the img file, no need for NOOBS.

There is a way.

The boot partition on a Pi should be accessible from any machine with an SD card reader, on*Windows, Mac, or Linux. If you want to enable SSH, all you need to do is to put a file called*ssh*in the*/boot/directory. The contents of the file don’t matter: it can contain any text you like, or even nothing at all. When the Pi boots, it looks for this file; if it finds it, it enables SSH and then deletes the file. SSH can still be turned on or off from the Raspberry Pi Configuration application or*raspi-config; this is simply an additional way to turn it on if you can’t easily run either of those applications.

It shouldn't take that long. The bottleneck lies with the CPU anyways. What distro are you installing? (sorry if I missed it in a previous post)

I'm not sure about that, sorry.

Just upgrading the standard official raspberry OS thingie.

Think something isn't entirely kosher here cause it's taking way longer than I'd expect. Seem to recall these things being reasonably fast....
 
Could be something stuck. You can try a sudo reboot from SSH and retry it after it boots but if it goes into a bootloop you might need to reload the SD card

nah it's progressing...just really slowly. Will let it do it's thing & troubleshoot after the upgrade is done.
 
type 'top' without quotes into SSH to see the cpu and memory usage and see if anything is stalling the process.

I did an upgrade once on Raspbian Jessie and it also took a while. Afterwards a few things refused to work, I think amongst other things my PiVPN and no-ip updater. Then in an attempt to fix that, I broke my Kodi and gave up by installing OSMC instead :crylaugh:

piVPN...nice...didn't know that existed & VPN is on my list. (Various EU countries have nasty internet filters so planning to bounce cellphone off home fibre).

Currently suspecting the pi isn't getting enough juice.
 
Assuming you have a display attached to the Pi you should see a rainbow square or a yellow lightning bolt appear on screen if it is not getting enough power.

It is a overlay that the GPU renders so you won't see it if you VNC into the Pi either. I'm speaking under correction but you will also see the red LED on the board flash if you are having power issues (on the Pi3 at least).

PiVPN is pretty easy to setup as well, but one step where you generate the keys does take about an hour to complete
 
have to say im a little dissapointed with the GPU power on the pi, could have had something much more powerful for the same price if they weren't so committed to open source hardware. Oh well, will have to overclock to get these n64 emulators running lekka

They don't focus on getting the highest possible specs.
