Don't start double posting your message.
If your post in the wrong section, just ask the mods for the thread to be moved.
If you want to attract more viewers, you will get our attention as well.
Your other post has been moved to the bin.
After the installation of Kodi in Ubuntu (which one, which version?), you should have an entry in the login section for Ubuntu.
You can select that item, log in, and Ubuntu should autostart.

Hello! Been in the same boat as you, I absolutely relied on xbmc and then kodibuntu, but the dropping of support did force me to learn an absolute tonne!
Are you wanting to use a full ubuntu desktop or just want a kodibuntu type effect of an os seamlessly booting into Kodi?

Hi again. thx for answers. I have (had) since years a desktop with kodibuntu. turn on and got acces to kodi, without any logins, or go througt ubuntu-->kodi. This way is easiest for me and i would like to get it back.
Just boot into kodi.
I tried to install kodibuntu 14.0 like always, but i getting message that something is wrong with a graphic. I using Intel UHD graphic on i3-8100 so it should work, but it doesnt.
So i think there are two option, fix problem with graphic or set up ubuntu to start kodi automaticly.
my ubuntu is newest ver. 18.4.

As has been asked before, to give you proper guidance we need to know if you only ever use Kodi on the pc you have it installed on? or whether you need access to a Ubuntu desktop environment or similar to run other applications? if you don't need a desktop environment then as already mention LibreElec is your best bet.

Soooo when I couldn't use kodibuntu anymore I explored a few options
Xbian, librelec, openelec, but none gave me what I wanted which was a learning experience 'under the hood' of Ubuntu.
What I wanted was a non (or invisible) GUI Ubuntu booting straight into Kodi
I'd just started to feel more familiar with the command line and wanted to further this learning so I started to trawl through the Kodi forums. You can do this yourself.
What I ended up doing was installing Ubuntu server with just 'ssh' enabled of the optional packages. Once I had the terminal operational on a 'minimal' install I could add what I wanted and in the end I figured out how to get a similar experience to kodibuntu.
Let me know if you want to research yourself, if not I'm happy to share my log of the commands I used and you can figure it out from there?
