Hi
I upgraded to the new Kodi v14 on my Micro Server running Ubuntu
Now after reboot Kodi will not auto start.
The only way to get it to start was to use a mouse and go to apps or open terminal and run kodi. I don;t have a mouse on my box so this is a frustration if the kids want to watch media as I have to be there to start Kodi.
Please help as I am not an Ubuntu guru

Hello.
Firstly a
Debug log (wiki) would go a long way in determining several pertinent information.
Secondly a output of
Code:
sudo ls -all /etc/init | pastebinit
that would help determine if you using upstart script or not and if xbmc.conf exists in your etc/init folder then its a question of a simple modification on the initiation line.
In any case the forst will help determine how to make a proper upstart script.

Hi I tried to see if I could solve this myself and still no luck so here is the pastbin

Yes you have xbmcbuntu.conf in there... that is what autostarts xbmc/kodi.
Code:
sudo ls -all /etc/init/xbmcbuntu.conf | pastebinit
Now... if you just looking to get your session xbmc loaded, you need to log off from xbmcbuntu session (log off from desktop bit) and login into xbmc session or kodi session (depends if your running v13 (xbmc or v14 (kodi)
Then lightdm remembers the last uses d session and loads that auto.
simple.

I figured as much when I saw the pastebin I asked for.
Feel free to full edit main post and mark as solved.
And if you feel extra generous bump my rep too on the solution post.
Enjoy.
