Hi! I've installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and latest Kodi version but a lot of plugins doesn't work, I think the problem is Python 3.10.4. When I click on some plugin menu, Kodi crash and goes back to linux system.
In final line of log there's "INFO <general>: Python interpreter stopped" error.
I know is a known issue but I'd want to know if there's some fix or workaround. Thanks in advance.
As far as we can tell, this is an upstream bug in Python

There doesn't seem to be a working patch or workaround yet.

Can I downgrade to a previous working version? If yes, wich one?

I don't know, I have seen some suggestions that is is a regression in 3.10, so downgrading to any 3.9 version would work, but I think it was a problem in some of the later versions of 3.9, too.

I've tried with 3.9, same error
Try 3.10.2-1. If I go to 3.10.4-1, many addons don't work.

There was a problem with one rev of 3.9 but I can't remember which one.
Working okay on python-3.9.9 (gentoo), anything above seems broke here. This bit me about a week ago, was hoping it'd come up
There are two possible python bugs fingered for this, but one will be fixed in the next versions:
3.10.5
3.9.13
have the same issue on arch, so i switched to the flatpak version of kodi, kodi wiki flatpak. it comes bundled with the necessary libraries. you .kodi folder will move to (at least on arch) ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data that's the only big difference Ive noticed, but don't quote me on that.

seems to work much better now.
Does anyone have a good guide how to get to python 3.9.9 (ubuntu 22.04) ?
I compiled 3.9.9 from what I found on google but not sure not sure if it's actually used.
I'm not smart enough in python and how it works with kodi.  Is installing a newer or older python a valid option for jammy/v22.04?

I've never tried but I would think one would end up in dependency hell.   Make a Timeshift before you try anything. 

Personally I have not upgraded as yet, but had I then i would probably just make a Timeshift for 22.04 then revert to my 20.04 Timeshift.  Once this gets patched Timeshift back to 22.04 and install the fixed python.
Looks like 3.10.5 is released today  

Python 3.10.5

I haven't been able to update yet, curious if this is a fix...?
3.9.13 seems okay!
Hi,

For Ubuntu 22.04, there is a simple workaround.

Download this files :
https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/team-xb..._amd64.deb
https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/team-xb...sh_all.deb
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/un..._amd64.deb

Add deadsnakes ppa for python 3.9:
https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archi...lter=jammy

Install libpython3.9

install the previously downloaded packages.

A this time, I have not yet had a segfault error with the python3.10 lib

Regards.
