Is pulseaudio running when you exit to kodibuntu? check with the command:

pidof pulseaudio

Also make sure the correct device is selected in kodi.

[BySimba80]

with pidof pulseaudio dont give nothing in line command

i made a test i will try to put here what i done

i have config the bpm to turn off kodi wen launch, like that i have sound in bmp only in 1 game (only have 2 games) i play music to and it´s ok but sometimes wen i change to music or games the sound goes off again, exit to kodi the sound come back , in configs kodi i have the source hdmi samsung the sound out´s to my tv via hdmi

regards
Edit: i don´t make any change i only read the post 238

You need some form of sound mixing while using BPM - The xbmcbuntu guide in first post has some info about how to achieve it.

Hi.

I'm running Kodibuntu, and i can't get the picture to run in fullscreen.
Kodi goes completly away, but i'm only getting half the image shown.

if i do the command
DISPLAY=:0 wmctrl -l
via ssh

Then my output is
Cannot get client list properties.
(_NET_CLIENT_LIST or _WIN_CLIENT_LIST)

wmctrl is installed using the command.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install wmctrl



how do i resolve this ?

[teeedubb]

BySimba80 Not sure what up - from my experience no sound in games but sound in bpm indicated pulseaudio is not running. Youre pre/post scripts are missing the square brackets, are you sure they are running correctly and that pulseaudio is running when it should. With a .asoundrc you should have a 'default' audio decice in kodi, do you see that?

Dennisreneholm you need a window manager running, such as openbox.

[cdoublejj]

where are the install direction? where do i copy the files to?

The error is the same as in the beginning, what do i need to do to resolve this?

[teeedubb]

Do you get any errors? Namely with the mv commands? Can you select open box from the login screen (after exiting kodi)?

[Dennisreneholm]

yes i do.
xbmc@Gotham:~$ sudo mv /usr/share/xsessions/openbox.desktop.dis /usr/share/xsessions/openbox.desktop
[sudo] password for xbmc:
mv: cannot stat â/usr/share/xsessions/openbox.desktop.disâ: No such file or directory

My girlfriend is watching tv right now, so can't check the login.

[teeedubb]

What's the output of

find /usr/share/xsessions/
