As this is a completely fresh install, i just reinstalled the system.
The commands i have run are these:

On the pc via terminal:
Installed SSH

Code:

sudo apt-get install openssh-server
sudo systemctl restart ssh

From here on, via Putty:
Installed Kodi

Code:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi

Set Kodi to boot with Ubuntu

Code:

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

changed lightdm.conf from:

Code:

[Seat:*]
#autologin-guest=false
#autologin-user=kodi
#autologin-user-timeout=0

to:

Code:

[Seat:*]
#autologin-guest=false
#autologin-user=kodi
#autologin-user-timeout=0
autologin-user=kodi
autologin-session=kodi

Removed pulseaudio

Code:

sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio

rebooted, and Kodi was running.

Now i did as you said earlier.
Tried to get it to wait for network

Code:

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service

put a # before the original, and pasted the line you wrote.

Rebooted, and now i have that /dev/sda1 screen.

that means lightdm does not start anymore - undo your change.

Still curious why you use a desktop setup, what about: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231955 (just use the stable ppa)

[Dennisreneholm]

Only because i thought servers for for servers, and desktop were for desktops, only reason why.

I can follow that guide you linked, and i'll have a "certified" running Kodi box?

[fritsch]

It will at least wait for network ... nothing certified. Let me edit the ppa section to link to the stable ppa.

[fritsch]

Make sure you reload the linked howto - I just changed the startup script and updated the howto to 17 final.

[Dennisreneholm]

Thanks so much for all your help fritsch!

I ended up installing libreelec after a friend recommended it.
It has the "wait for network" built-in, so that solved my problem.
