You are actually running kodi 18 alpha and I'm having the same issue.
Crashlog

Sorry can't get a debug as I can't start kodi.

@lefty420:

Line 12 in your crashlog tells you why that crashlog isn't as helpful as you might think Wink

Install gdb

@sartano:

Line 63 in your logfile tells why yours is completely useless

14:37:42.372 T:139723482962304 NOTICE: Disabled debug logging due to GUI setting. Level 0.

Enable debug logging please and probably try to catch a crashlog, too. Make sure gdb is intalled

Gdb is installed
Even if I do not know what it is and how it is used!

A further question: how do I install version 17.3 or a stable version?
Entering the following commands in the terminal:

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

  I install kodi 18 alpha!!!!!
thank you

@sartano might be, that gdb is installed on your system. But then you didn't provide a 'crashlog' yet. Provide that please

For you other question.... i guess you still have a kodi nightly ppa installed.you could do the following on the commandline:

Code:
apt-cache policy kodi | pastebinit

That will show us where the actually installed kodi version comes from. As a first guess, i think that you have the team-xmbc/xmbc-nightly ppa installed.

If that's the case, do:

Code:
sudo apt-get purge kodi kodi.bin
sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:team-xbmc/xmbc-nightly
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi

I'm sorry.

I tried to run your code but I always install the version kodi 18 alpha.
I do not understand
thank you
