RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - nickr - 2017-05-24
The 17.1 debs should still be in your apt cache directory /var/cache/apt/archives - copy them somewhere safe like your home directory. You will need kodi and kod-bin deb files at least.

Hi Nickr, I looked in that location and found 17.2, but no trace of 17.1 as far as I can see.
Any help with this or any thing else, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I get the same error on Ubuntu 14.04 following an upgrade to Kodi 17.2. Judging by the posts on this thread, it seems that this is a common problem:
Quote:terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::regex_error'
what(): regex_error
Aborted (core dumped)
find: `/home/user/.gvfs': Permission denied
find: `/home/user/.cache/dconf': Permission denied
Crash report available at /home/user/kodi_crashlog-20170524_054331.log
Lots of VDPAU related errors in /home/user/kodi_crashlog-20170524_054331.log such as:
Quote:ERROR: (VDPAU) Error: The display was pre-empted, or a fatal error occurred.(2) at /build/kodi-xevDLK/kodi-17.1~git20170320.2031-final/xbmc/cores/VideoPlayer/DVDCodecs/Video/VDPAU.cpp:1041
Ultimately I can no longer use Kodi as a result of this problem.

For all with problem 17.2. I suggest you to open another POST and not write here. This POST was born with a specific issue that is not 17.2 upgrade.
Many thanks

Kodi suddenly will not launch after months of okay use - blacklodgebob - 2017-05-24
Been using kodi for months no problem. Now when I try to open it it opens a tab in the system tray for a few seconds then quits. I am using Linux mint 17.2 kde. Here's the crash log: https://pastebin.com/7R5hC3N5

Hello blacklodgebob,
We need a Debug Log, not the Crash Log. Instructions in my signature. Use the Advanced method. Ensure Debugging is Enabled.

I have this problem and a debug log is not even being created.
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu - fritsch - 2017-05-24
For now happens on outdated linux distribution with outdated gcc - never the less - we are looking into it.

Known. Only happens with g++ 4.8 on years old systems / c++11 incapable compilers. We will workaround.

Hi Fritsch, so you are saying that if I take a chance and update my one system with Ubuntu 16.04, the update will work, right?
I have two systems runnning Ubuntu 14.04 and both of them have the same error as you have said.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks,
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu - fritsch - 2017-05-24
Yes. Make sure you install the 16.04 packages from the ppa. Take care: such an OS upgrade might introduce new nonrelated issues.
We will workaround it and release 17.3 asap, so probably not worth the hazzle for now.
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu - hlloyge - 2017-05-24
fritsch, thank you very much for hard work.
I promise I will migrate base OS to something newer by the time version 18 appears
Too bad you don't have own Kodi distro any more, like it was Kodibuntu before.But I guess it was too much of a work.
