Hello, I am having a problem with Kodi not launching after upgrading ubuntu on my laptop from 15.04 to 15.10. Here are all my specs:
Debug log: http://pastebin.com/tT4E4rPc
Ubuntu 15.10 x64
AMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon™ HD Graphic
Linux 4.2.0
Kodi (15.0-BETA1 Git:2015-04-07-6a603b1)
Kodi will not start at all. It just simply says Segmentation fault. It was installed from the Ubuntu PPA. Any help would be appreciated.

Kodi (15.0-BETA1 Git:2015-04-07-6a603b1) is already outdated, you want 15.2 from team xbmc ppa.seeHOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux (wiki)

I just added the kodi stable ppa and upgraded kodi. However the error still occurs and the kodi log file still reads Starting Kodi (15.0-BETA1 Git:2015-04-07-6a603b1). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit

this file is corrupt: /home/me/.kodi/userdata/profiles.xml
delete it and kodi should start.

this file is corrupt: /home/me/.kodi/userdata/profiles.xml
delete it and kodi should start.

Unfortunately that file does not exist. I deleted the whole .kodi folder and it comes up with this log.

according to the crashlog the file does exist and logfiles usually don't lie ;-)

I start to think that your hdd has errors.

Post dmesg | pastebinit also then we see if the kodi package is fucked up. If this is a ppa installation: sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-bin --reinstall

After deleting .kodi and trying to start kodi it generated the file again. However, it still crashes and I deleted just the profiles.xml and it crashed again.

Thank you both.

Hello,
My mistake. I fixed the error. I had some files lingering around from a previous source built install. After removing the files the ppa install loaded. Thank you again
