I recently installed Kodi 17.0 on my HTPC, but I have a problem. Whenever I start it, Kodi flickers and sometimes goes black. Furthermore, it flickers when I move my mouse. These are problems I never experienced in the previous version of Kodi. I am including information about my HTPC.

Upgrade the kernel via ubuntu mainline.

Can you list the steps for making this upgrade?

No - as the first google hit on: "Update kernel ubuntu mainline" has it.

In light of the fact that LinuxMint 18 is being offered, I decided to upgrade to that instead. Thanks for the assistance, though.

So - does it work now?
