Kodi 17.3 Crash on startup because of display driver - BlindSp0t - 2017-07-12 Hello. I'm just installing Kodi for the first time, but cannot start it for some reason. Here are some relevant informations: [Error Message] Code: libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found [System] CPU: Intel I5 4690k GPU: None RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Storage: 4TB on 2 7200rpm HDDs. OS: Ubuntu server 16.04 64bits Kodi Version: 17.3 [Logs] Logs After google searching for an answer, all I can find is to reinstall my nvidia drivers. Except I don't have a nvidia gpu in my server right now, and although I have a 970 laying somewhere, I don't want to increase my server's power consumption for nothing. mesa-utils and xserver-xorg-video-intel are installed and up-to-date. I have no idea what's wrong. Please help! RE: Kodi 17.3 Crash on startup because of display driver - Klojum - 2017-07-13 Not sure what your planned 'use-case' is, but there is no headless/server version of Kodi possible, so at least some kind of GPU display will necessary. If you want to use a server, perhaps MiniDLNA is an option. Personally, I just use the NFS server part of Ubuntu to serve videos to Kodi clients. RE: Kodi 17.3 Crash on startup because of display driver - BlindSp0t - 2017-07-13 Hello, and thanks for y[/b]our reply. I'm indeed un a "headless" configuration, with a ubuntu server I remonte desktop into. I'm currently looking into media streaming options, and wanted to try kodi before setting on plex, which works perfectly out of the box. I read that kodi was extremely similar to Plex except being more powerful. So there is no way to make a kodi server out of a server with only Intel integrated graphics? That's a bummer. I'll stay with Plex then. Thanks for the help. RE: Kodi 17.3 Crash on startup because of display driver - nickr - 2017-07-13 Kodi is not a server. Plex is. If you want some more help, please install gdb so we get a crashlog with debug info. RE: Kodi 17.3 Crash on startup because of display driver - BlindSp0t - 2017-07-13 Ah OK I get it. When I read about it, someone was asking why anyone would be using Plex over kodi as the former was most probably just a fork of the later, so I assumed they had similar capabilities. If that's not the case, then I can't use kodi as I just need a centralised media server capable of casting my media on different devices in and out of my network. Not the right tool . Thanks again for the help. RE: Kodi 17.3 Crash on startup because of display driver - nickr - 2017-07-13 Plex player was a fork of Kodi. However plex server is (as I understand it) their own product. Kodi does have some Upnp serving abilities, but I wouldn't bother. Kodi doesn't even require a "media" server as such. It accesses files over a network (to your server for example[1]) and scrapes all the metadata into it's own database. Those databases are local to each Kodi instance, unless you centralise the database using mysql. [1] this need be file serving only, not any sort of upnp or metadata. |
