I have several older computers. I have different versions of linux installed on them. I only use the sudo commands found on the Kodi Wiki install page to install Kodi.
On one computer, the sudo commands installed the newest 16.1 version, on another it installs the traditional one with the blue background and black horizontal bar (using the SAME sudo commands).
How do I get it to install that older version on linux distros?
It may depend on what base version of Ubuntu you have. It certainly depends on what ppa you have added. To see what package will be installed use
Code:
apt-cache policy kodi
I installed Peppermint OS on 2 different computers, a notebook and a PC. Same version of Peppermint.
Then I installed Kodi on both machines. The sudo commands installed 16.1 on the PC, and the older version on the notebook. How does that happen?
Please give the output of the command I mentioned.
On that box you have the unstable ppa installed. I assume you don't on the other box.
Here is the output on the notebook:
kodi:

How do I can I get it to install this version?
On the other machine,
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/unstable

I ran this command on the PC that has 16.1 Kodi, but it didn't change it.
I thought you wanted 16.1 on both.
No, sorry I wanted the older/stable version.
16.1 is the stable version.
Is there any way to downgrade to an older version?
Remove kodi
Remove the unstable ppa
