Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - Naugas - 2017-05-24 Just updated from 17.1 to 17.2 on a Linux Mint (17 Qiana) system. Kodi doesn't start, and I get this error: Code: /etc/mdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... I created the advancedsettings.xml file, enabling loglevel 2, as per http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Advanced#advancedsettings.xml_for_normal_debugging - but after trying to start kodi again the log file date is from before the installation of 17.2, and all the entries in the log file (~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log) are all from the previous installation. (Guess I had logging on, didn't know that.) Nothing is added there from the start-up anyway. A new crash log is created each time however. edit: Says "Log File is located: /home/xbmc/.kodi/temp//kodi.log" in the crash log - is that double slash supposed to be there? RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - Naugas - 2017-05-24 I had to revert to 17.1... the debug log file is written to as it should now, just checked. RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - uganda - 2017-05-24 Encountering a similar error here on Ubuntu 14.04. Can't launch Kodi after upgrade from 17.1 to 17.2. Code: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::regex_error' Lots of VDPAU errors in the logfile, such as: Code: 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 I have seen other threads where other users are encountering what appears to be the same issue, so the problem appears to be widespread. For example: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=314914&page=3 RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - Naugas - 2017-05-24 Is that the debug log - http://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Advanced#advancedsettings.xml_for_normal_debugging - you are talking about? RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - hlloyge - 2017-05-24 Same problem, running KODIbuntu 14.04.5, after upgrade Kodi tried to start but after few seconds reverts to login screen. Is there any way to install older version from repository? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Kodi, with no help. EDIT: created setting for logging from the page Naugas posted, no log created. RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - yasij - 2017-05-24 That looks like an uncaught regex exception, and you all appear to be using something based on Ubuntu 14.04 which used gcc 4.8. C++11 regex support wasn't implemented until gcc 4.9. They shipped the header with previous releases, but it was unimplemented. I found this commit using C++11 regex: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/35cfe35608b15335ef21d798947fceab3f47c8d7 . They'll have to use a different regex library if they want it to work with gcc 4.8 from Ubuntu 14.04. RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - mailhauler - 2017-05-24 I have two Linux Mint 17.3 machines, one with Nvidia and one with AMD (ATI). Nether Kodi install would start after update from 17.1 to 17.2. (Just adding to the pile.) RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - gen1uscat - 2017-05-24 The same here RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - William Seward - 2017-05-24 Same here. Linux Mint 17.3. 64bit. Update doesn't run, throwing regex_error. RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - Martijn - 2017-05-24 Fix is incoming soon RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - PixelGordo - 2017-05-24 I'm a total noob about using non-default packages. How do I revert to a previous version (17.1) meanwhile? sudo apt-get install kodi-what? RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - gen1uscat - 2017-05-24 PixelGordo, try to use wiki for help RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - User 99988 - 2017-05-24 That will only help you to get back to 16. The only way you can install 17.1 again is if you have the deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives or if you have snapshots of your system when using a file system like btrfs. I'd be glad to learn about another way, though. Very sad evening coming up.. RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - PixelGordo - 2017-05-24 You made my day, supersonic. I had 17.1 in /var/cache/apt/archives. So a simple: Code: sudo dpkg -i kodi-bin_2%3a17.1~git20170320.2031-final-0trusty_amd64.deb reinstalled the previous version. Thank you very much. RE: Startup crash after upgrading to 17.2 - User 99988 - 2017-05-24 Glad I could help! Could you upload that file for me somewhere? Need the trusty amd64 one too. Learned my lesson not to clear those caches |
