Installing Previous Versions on Ubuntu - Warhoon - 2016-03-19
How do I install a previous (not current) version of Kodi on an Ubuntu box?
I want to install Isengard (I need to sync with an openelec box that is on Isengard) but I can't find a way to do it. I've dug around on the forums and wiki to no avail.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I think installing a previous version from a PPA is likely going to be difficult as there could be dependency issues.
Could be worth searching for a .deb file for that version and see if it can be installed with dpkg.
If I was you I would compile from source:
Download the source from here: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/source/
Follow instructions here: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Kodi_for_Ubuntu
For compiling an older version it's probably best to do manual dependencies (2.2) instead of using the PPA (2.1).
If you've never done that it might seem daunting but actually the hard part is getting all the dependencies, once that's done compiling and installing is very easy (although it takes some time to compile).

No need to compile Kodi if you want to use Kodi Isengard:
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ubuntu/kodi-old
Just install that ppa and install the package from this one
RE: Installing Previous Versions on Ubuntu - Gothicawakening - 2016-03-19
Good call! I didn't know about the kodi-old-stable PPA.
That's definitely the easiest way!
RE: Installing Previous Versions on Ubuntu - Warhoon - 2016-03-19
Great! Took some weird dance moves to get the dependencies right, but installing from the old ppa worked. Thank you to everyone!

Probably being dim here, but after you add that repository, how do you install? Do you need to specify the version number? I'm trying to install any version before 16.1 onto mint 17.3 (trusty). Any advice?
RE: Installing Previous Versions on Ubuntu - black_eagle - 2016-04-27
Code:
sudo apt-get remove kodi kodi-bin # remove current version
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:team-xbmc/ppa #remove current ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/kodi-old # add new ppa
sudo apt-get update # update software lists
sudo apt get install kodi # installs 15.2Think that should do it.

Thanks for the help, but the dependencies aren't met and I'm a bit lost!

You can temporarily try with 15.2
sudo apt-get install kodi=2:15.2~git20151019.1039-final-0trusty kodi-bin=2:15.2~git20151019.1039-final-0trusty
RE: Installing Previous Versions on Ubuntu - black_eagle - 2016-04-27
Ha, part of it is still installed.
Sudo apt-get remove kodi-bin
Then check again with apt-cache policy kodi kodi-bin
You should get the same thing for both parts.
Installed : (none)
candidate: 2:15.2~etc etc

Got it thanks
RE: Installing Previous Versions on Ubuntu - mxlance - 2016-04-27
i missed the last part of this while i was asking for help elsewhere.
so is this only going to work to go back to kodi 15.2 and not to kodi 16?
and is it worth it or is a fix for 16.1 in the works?
i spent a a day tring to fix this thinking this was my fault.
any idea?
please do not think i am ungreatful or complaining i am not, only looking for some guidance.
thank you so much
RE: Installing Previous Versions on Ubuntu - fritsch - 2016-04-27
For now - you have the bug - all my samba shares work perfectly fine so I cannot reproduce. In order to solve something we need to know what worked last. As you cannot build from source, try with 15.2 and see if that one works.
This: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=271280&pid=2322383#pid2322383 is most likely also your issue, which is an Ubuntu bug after a package bump.
