Hello,

Since upating to Xenial and Krypton, I get crashes quite reqularly. Most typically I get the crash at the end of a movie.
Many times after the crash, all terminals tty1-7 get blank. SSH is working.

Ubuntu server 16.04.2 LTS
17.0 Git:20170210-nogitfound

Here are some logs of the last crash.

dpkg -l | grep mesa http://paste.ubuntu.com/24029741/
DISPLAY=:0 vainfo http://paste.ubuntu.com/24029742/
cat ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/24029743/
dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/24029744/
id http://paste.ubuntu.com/24029745/
amixer http://paste.ubuntu.com/24029746/
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/24029747/

cat ~/kodi_crashlog-20170219_220218.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/24029959/

(After this, I tried to restart kodi with systemctl restart kodi, got new crash)

cat ~/kodi_crashlog-20170219_221103.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/24029961/

I can't make a lot out of the logs, except that it may be audio related.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Any hints how to fix / diagnose further?
Or is it a known issue? (I tried to check trac but I get internal error for any queries.)

It's not known - you are the first hitting this issue. I will check the threads tonight and will see.

Contacted Tanuk from PA project. Basically we still get mainloop messages while we stop it, which makes me wonder. Will keep you posted once I get an answer.

Thank you. Let me know if you need more logs etc.

For the time being, you can use ALSA for playback - just start kodi with: AE_SINK=ALSA kodi

I also experience the memory leak (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=307613), I wonder if this issue may be triggered by the leak?

**fritsch** · 2017-02-22, 10:23

There is NO leak.

**fritsch** · 2017-02-22, 10:24

Post your Debug Log. And don't mix things totally unrelated. The above issue is caused by memory fragmentation.

vgabor · 2017-02-22, 10:29

I will post a debug log tonight.

Yeah - same issue. No reply from my contact at pulseaudio yet.

If you feel like experimenting. Disable the combined device and try again please.

We need to build kodi from source and test an idea I just had to resolve this deadlock.

Code:
sudo apt-get build-dep kodi

mkdir ~/mykodi

cd ~/mykodi

git clone https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc.git

cd ~/mykodi/xbmc

git checkout -b flt origin/flt

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

make -j8

Wait until compilation is finished. Then please start kodi with:

Code:
cd ~/mykodi/xbmc

./kodi.bin

What happens now?
