Solved Mint 17.3 [Kodi Crashing]
#1
Sad 
I just updated Kodi today to the last version, and it crashes upon launch.

I get the following message:

Code:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::regex_error'
  what():  regex_error
Aborted (core dumped)

Any ideas? Thanks!

It's apparently a common problem. Was reading on another thread. I think they said Kodi would rush out an update for it.

Known, identified and will be fixed with 17.3
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

If you need something working faster: Upgrade your oldish linux version to a version having a decent gcc compilert (> 5) and reinstall whatever kodi version you get via the ppa, make sure to reinstall kodi so that the proper packages are installed.

@OP - You should probably edit the title of your post since 17.3 is not yet out... I am assuming you meant 17.2?

I can wait. The Mint upgrade process is far from easy. It essentially mandates a full system backup, clean install, and data restore.

Being a software engineer makes it twice as bad because software dependencies and libraries are so fragile and react inexplicably to change -- I prefer not to change anything I don't have to.

Not sure why Mint hasn't looked into a more intuitive upgrade process (like Ubuntu), but it is what it is.

Thanks for the help.
