URGENT HELP NEEDED - Kodi crashes instantly on start up.
#1
Exclamation 
So, I have a very old computer. Its a Dell Dimension 4600.
I decided to get a XBMC on it and make a media pc.
So I did some research and installed a lightweight distro of linux called LXLE 12.04.5 (which is a spinoff of Lubuntu/Ubuntu)
I had many MANY PROBLEMS when installing but some how, after lots of work, i managed to fix it.
So but now I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM which is that when ran, it crashes instantly.
I have tried everything.
Tried updating my repos, tried reinstalling...
When I tried updating my Graphics drivers it told me that nouveau kernel driver is running and failed to install.
I tried turing it off, but it does not work...
I tried changing the xbmc.desktop file. Except it does not exist.
I found a kodi.desktop in xsession but even though i changed it, it does not work.
So now im tired, out of options and sad... Sad Sleepy
Please help me ASAP.... Sad
(BTW i used a nightly version of XBMC/Kodi)
(I'm pretty techsavvy but I may need more simple explaination since Im new to this.. :p)

Heres my Error Report:

Install proper GPU drivers. You run drivers from the last century with unsupported fully outdated Mesa. You are at version 8.0.4 the world already uses 10.3
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Oh Thank you!

But since I am a complete newbie to this, can you help me out?

How would I update my drivers?

Please Reply ASAP

Install the Nvidia proprietary drivers. And you should probably upgrade your Ubuntu to 14.04 anyway.

Just for interest....why using 15 Alpha when you are new to this? Something wrong for you with the stable?
