upgraded ubuntu with no problems to 17.04
carried out clean ups on kodi and installed latest 17 ver
it shows installed but will not launch.

RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - nickr - 2017-04-30
start from commandline, what feedback is given?
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - DaVu - 2017-04-30
And please get us some more info about the hardware you are using
Also please get us the output of
Code:
apt-cache policy kodi | nc termbin.com 9999Code:
lspci | grep -i vga | nc termbin.com 9999You will receive an URL for each. Post that please.

That nc termbin.com 9999 is cool, but I don't think nc is installed by default on ubuntu. If not it can be installed by
Code:
sudo apt-get install netcat-openbsdRE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - cliffb13 - 2017-04-30
feedback given is-
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dbiplus:

RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - nickr - 2017-05-01
At a guess try
Code:
rm ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.dbThen try again.

RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - nickr - 2017-05-01
Thanks, corrected above.
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - cliffb13 - 2017-05-01
thanks but now get message -Unable to locate package kodi/userdata/Database
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - DaVu - 2017-05-01
lol, did you try to "apt-get" that?
just try that command via terminal:
Code:
rm ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.dbas nickr already suggested
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - cliffb13 - 2017-05-02
Had tried apt-install !
this is what I now tried - sudo apt-get kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db
[sudo] password for cliff:
E: Invalid operation kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db
what have I left out?
Thanks
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - DaVu - 2017-05-02
just copy and paste the command as it is. It's mentioned twice now and both times we never mentioned anything "apt-get"
only that:
Code:
rm ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.dbnothing else.
No offense, but if you can't do that, we can't help anymore.

cliff@cliff-Micro:~$ rm ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db

cliff@cliff-Micro:~$ .kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db

i must be too dumb for this !
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - cliffb13 - 2017-05-06
It is actually opening thanks to your very good suggestions, but in "nemesis" which was the version I was running for version 16.
I have read that nemesis is not the best for ver 17, - what's the current view on this.
Thanks
RE: kodi 17 installed but will not launch in ubuntu 17.04 - nickr - 2017-05-06
The current and always view is that builds are banned and unsupported.
