try deleting ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db and in case it still doesn't work ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons26.db

Is that done in terminal as a command line? If so is it sudo then the line?
I have the same problem and posted the crash logs today.
Thanks John

you don't have to run as super user to delete files in your own home directory.

tried typing that in and this is what I got in the terminal:

john@john-Z97MX-Gaming-5 ~ $ ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db
bash: /home/john/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db: Permission denied

am I typing it in correctly?

To delete the file, you have to issue the rm command:

Code:

rm -rf ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db

I just tried typing that in and got nothing:

john@john-Z97MX-Gaming-5 ~ $ rm -rf ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db
john@john-Z97MX-Gaming-5 ~ $

is it possible this file doesn't exist? I can't find it anywhere....

[ironic_monkey]

that is a successful rm operation....

YaY!!!After a reboot That Did it!!!!
Kodi 17 started and even migrated all my addons and kept my settings..(thought I lost everything when I purged 16)
The confluence 7 icons was the only setting that didn't carry over.
I hope I can get used to the different layout!!!
Thanks again for your help!!!!
