Full Version: New install won't start
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have a new install of Kodi, installed on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (64-bit, with AMD Juniper, GNOME 3.28.2) using the following commands:

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

Kodi does not start (literally nothing happens). I tried starting from a terminal command line using kodi --debug and got the following error:

$ kodi --debug
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'dbiplus:Big GrinbErrors'
Aborted (core dumped)
find: ‘/home/cliff/.cache/dconf’: Permission denied

Crash report available at /home/cliff/kodi_crashlog-20190530_203720.log

Can anyone point me in the right direction for solving this please?
Thanks.
we might need the crashlog you are pointed to in the log message

Not using the terminal  - An easy way to add kodi :  Try going to software manager and just typing 'kodi' there are tons of different versions. 17.6 - 18.1/18.2. It's a snap.
I fixed the problem by doing:

rm ~/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons27.db

Thanks.
Thread marked solved.
