Hi all.

I just updated my media center (apt-get upgrade + apt-get dist-upgrade), I know, if it works don't fix it, but I'll never learn...

Now Kodi restarts every time I start a movie.
HW: Intel NUC i3 HSW
OS: Ubuntu 14.04.3
Kodi (16.0-ALPHA3 Git:75a1eaf)

Everything is installed according to: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=165707
Debug log:http://paste.ubuntu.com/12572918/
The first error I see is this "RenderManager::CreateRenderer: failed to create renderer", but what it means and how to fix it is beyond me. Hope you can help me out.

Not sure if any of the logs below are needed, but here you go in case it is useful.

Code:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit

Code:

dmesg | pastebinit

Thanks in advance,

Everything is installed according to?

You miss proper VAAPI drivers and you have the wrong mesa packages installed ... retry the howto.

You even run the wrong Ubuntu 14.04.3 version. In this ".3" version Ubuntu changed package names ... so you are stuck with their packages.

Thanks for the reply.

I installed according to the first post in your old VAAPI thread. I did the install 1.5 year ago and it has been working perfect so far. Just broke today when I did the apt-get upgrade.

Wrong Ubuntu? The how-to still mentions Trusty which is 14.04.3... I am a little confused how to proceed. Guidelines are much appreciated.

Br,

14.04.3 sadly has some packages renamed which kodi needs to work correctly.

Btw. at least vaapi when you used wsnipex ppa should not be at 1.3.0 anymore ...

Perhaps it is good time to follow the new howto. Just replace the wsnipex fernetmenta master ppa with the stable ppa. A lot has happened in intel world.

Yeah, I recently noticed the new VAAPI how-to and considered updating due to the vast amount of improvements. I decided to wait as everything worked at that time. However, this is not the case anymore, so if no easy fix I think I'll go ahead with the new VAPI installation.
