Linux Helix & Ubuntu , crashes to ubuntu login prompt
#1
Dear All,

I am using Helix under Ubuntu 14.04,

About once or twice a day, Kodi crashes, and i get thrown out to the Ubuntu login page.

I run kodi under lightdm , so not sure how i even end up at the login screen (kodi set to autostart in lightdm)

Also a side problem, is that when it crashes, it changes my audio settings, moving my passthrough device from my xonar spdif , to my nvidia hdmi.

I always have debug logging enabled, so here is a paste from my logs.

Any help is very appriciated!

Found out i was already using that version of the hts pvr addon, made sure to uninstall the one from the repository first.

But unfortunately its still crashing

i had some luck with 14.1 , only crashing about once a week.

now upgraded to 14.2 , and its crashing constantly, just goes to the ubuntu login prompt.

Tried going up to 15.0 nightly, but here i cannot get the tvheadend addon working, so back to 14.2 again.

Cleared my logfile and played something with debug on, and it crashed after about 30 seconds, so here is full Debug Log.

Post a crashlog please, it should be in your home directory, make sure to install gdb
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

hi fritsch many thanks for helping, here is one, not sure which version this was generated by, as i have been trying all sorts of version of kodi / tvheadend tonight to stop it crashing, but hopefully of some use.

No crashlog, no gdb installed?

then login your desktop sessions and start kodi from gdb, via: gdb /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin

set logging on rausdamit.txt
run

after it crashed:
thread apply all bt

now press enter as long as nothing more comes out. Then post the rausdamit.txt
