Starting Kodi - confusion - jgauthier - 2015-07-24
Greetings!
I'm developing an interface based on Kodi. Currently, doing R&D in Virtualbox. Guest is Debian Jessie x64, on a Windows 7 host.
I've compiled kodi (v15).
I have some confusion about how/when kodi should be started.
When I try to start kodi from the command line, without any X server running, I get this output:
Code:
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
Segmentation faultIf I am in an X session already, then Kodi loads.
I have a raspberry pi that runs kodi without needing X loaded first. So, without much experience, I am not sure what's going on here.
I was able to produce what I am looking for by launching kodi from .xession, it's just not what I was expecting.
Any input appreciated!

xserver is a requirement for Kodi on Linux desktop.
