Linux KodiBUNTU crashes
#1
I have installed kodibuntu but kodi does not start at all. I can access the terminal via ctrl + alt + F1.
The error message in the log says: Pulseaudio : Failed to connect context and ResetRenderSystem() GL_MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS_ARB returned 1280. Can someone please help me out?

Maybe the log is generated....

Code:
sudo apt-get install pastebinit

cat ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log | pastebinit

aplay -l | pastebinit

aplay -L | pastebinit

The first one will install a little too to push outputs to a pastebinsite and directly gets you the url to it...maybe it's already installed. You'll see...

From the others, please provide each url you will get

Do you really use pulseaudio? http://kodi.wiki/view/PulseAudio#FAQ

If not, i would...

Code:
sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio

That will remove pulseaudio from your system. But first read the link above to be sure you don't need it

The links are in the order of the code provided:

When I try to purge pulseaudio, I get the message that it is not installed, so nothing will be removed. Thanks for the support so far.
I got older versions of xbmc/kodi running by exporting a variable to change the mesa gl version at start in an upstart script. How can I do that with KodiBUNTU? It may solve the problem.

It does solve the problem apparently, but where is the exec line?

You mean this?

Quote:1. Start XBMC without GL video accelleration. On my debian sid xfce4.8 box I edited /usr/share/applications/xbmc.desktop. Change the Exec line to:

Code:
Code:
Exec=sh -c "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=y xbmc"

The GUI will be slow, but useable. Works best if you disable mouse support.

I suppose all the xbmc namings have been changed to kodi, so I would look into /usr/share/kodi.desktop and see if it might be there. But I suppose your Intel Pentium 4 CPU could a bit too old to run kodi properly Wink

What might help as well is, if you provide a crashlog. Should be in the same folder as the logfile. I dont underdtand those crashlogs, but I suppose wsnipex will have a look Wink

Thanks. I'll try that and tell you the results. I installed lxde and managed to get open kodi. As for the CPU being too old, the UI is usable but the CPU can decode h.264 at 480p60 and upscale it, which is good enough.

It didn't work. But if I log in with LXDE and then open from lxterminal by typing LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=y kodi it works but it is very slow. If I do the same with MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=1.4 kodi, then it is much more responsive. With xbmc and lubuntu, I created a xbmc.conf file which worked.

Is there such a file in kodibuntu? If so, which one?
Thanks for your support so far
