Hi, I'm running newest Kodi installed according to guide from official website. My problem is that when I try to add new language from the official Kodi Add-on repository it's simply empty (there's nothing on the list when I click on repository, even though it seems to be loading for a while). Sometimes I can't even enter the repositories.

There's also no other options in context menu in repositories, only "Add-on information" (no force refresh or cheking on updates).

I Kodi on Windows on my other laptop and there are no problems, so it excludes network-related issues.

Any help?

which guide? and Debug Log?

[drcbl]

that guide: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux

I have no option in my Kodi to add Kodi Log Uploader, so I don't know how to post Debug Log

Then ssh into the box and get it off the device. It is linux

seriously I can't even get establish an SSH connection, I'm a beginner at linux... there's a connection time out when I enter

Code:

ssh <username>@<ipadress>

[fritsch]

i hope you enterd ssh [email protected], e.g. you actually replaced username with your user and ipadress with the adress of the box.

When I enter this it says

Code:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.25 port 22: Connection timed out

Anyway, how do I know what's the IP adress of the box?

[drcbl]

OK I found the adress via the "route" command in terminal but it still gets connection timed out

I'd suggest that you need to install/configure/enable sshd on the system - I don't know for sure on Mint, but it isn't always enabled by default on other distros.

But here's a question... if you're running Mint, then you have a full-fat OS and you're booting into a regular window manager (MATE or whatever). So, instead of ssh-ing in from another box, why not just open a terminal window and cd ~/.kodi/userdata to find the log...?

[fritsch]

sudo apt-get install ssh should be enough.

could you PLEASE explain it more step-by-step?

[Prof Yaffle]

sudo apt-get install ssh should be enough.

So how's this working without command line access... not sure we're not going in circles here... we haven't even established *from* what box the OP is ssh-ing - and that doesn't look like a Windows response to ssh...

could you PLEASE explain it more step-by-step?

When you switch the machine on, you get a desktop of some kind, yes? It doesn't boot straight into Kodi if it's Mint - I'm presuming you get something that looks vaguely like this:



I'm further guessing - from the above - that you're opening a terminal on this machine and issuing the ssh command. In which case, you're definitely going around in circles as you're trying to ssh from the machine back to itself, which is unnecessary. You just need a command prompt.

On the menu in the corner, find 'terminal'. Click on it. You'll get something approximately like this:



(You might already have this if you are sshing from this system and not from a separate laptop.)

Click on the terminal window - this is the Linux 'DOS prompt'. Start typing (press enter/return after each line):

Code:

cd ~/.kodi/temp

and then

Code:

ls -la kodi.log

You'll get something (again, vaguely) like this:

Code:

you@yourmachine:~$ cd ~/.kodi/temp
you@yourmachine:~/.kodi/temp$ ls -la kodi.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 you you 10000 Sep 20 12:00 kodi.log
you@yourmachine:~/.kodi/temp$

==> this is your log file.

You need to get this up onto t'internet for folks to see:

Code:

you@yourmachine:~$ cat kodi.log | pastebinit
http://paste.ubuntu.com/123456789/

Copy and paste that http:// link back here, as the commands above will upload your log and create a link so you can share it - and the http:// bit is the link in question.

If you get something like 'The program 'pastebinit' is currently not installed' then you'll need to do:

Code:

you@yourmachine:~$ sudo apt-get install pastebinit
<enter your password here>

... and then repeat the 'cat kodi.log | pastebinit' command.

thanks very much Prof Yaffle I knew what MATE and terminal were, just got a little confused with ssh and the box.

Now after finding log file and trying to pastebin it I get:

Code:

Bad API request, invalid api_dev_key

pastebinit was installed earlier from terminal as you wrote

[Prof Yaffle]

Ubuntu vs Mint... sigh.

Try 'cat kodi.log | pastebin' - no 'it' at the end. Or just 'pastebin kodi.log'.

[drcbl]

OK, finally made it
