I was using an Intel NUC5PPYH, BIOS 0044, along with the previous instructions for 15.10. It worked very well but for some reason I wanted to move to 16.04 LTS
In the processes I figured I could update the BIOS to 0053, which I did.

However, after the base install of Ubuntu Server 16.04 I only get limited screen output. With 15.10 I could see the grub screen, some garbage afterwards, some text (dmesg) and then the Kodi splash.
Now, there is almost nothing. The monitor i activated but there is no output.
I happened to connect a USB-DVD unit with a CD with issues, and some read error are printed on the monitor.
Pressing CTRL + ALT + F1 brings up a console though...

The system stays the same when installing the packages in step 0 in the first post as well. I figured the display drivers could solve it but they didn't.

Not that I really need the boot information from day to day. And now that we're waiting on the mysql package I can't take it further and see if the graphics will be fixed once Kodi is installed.

Has anyone else get any input regarding this?

I'm digging into this a little more...
In the attempt above I installed Ubuntu Server with a USB stick, created with YUMI.
In reality a minimal network installation from what I understand.

Burning an old school CD and installing it works well and I get graphics during boot.

Code:

$ uname -a
Linux 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:33:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Code:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release:        16.04
Codename:       xenial

I have no idea why it is different and why it didn't work with network/minimal install...

Also, regarding the libmysqlclient18 issue.
I downloaded this package:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/212189159/..._amd64.deb
and installed it manually. This way I was able to continue to install Kodi according to the instructions.
