I've had this up and running using 16.04 and this guide since the June or so. Has been working beautifully, but I just ran into a problem today.
I had been lazy and not updated the Kodi box for a while, so I did a full update using apt-get (which installed a TON of stuff).
Upon reboot I'm faced with a graphical login screen and an error message "Unable to start session".
Does anyone know what might have been wrong? I'm thinking something in the update might have overwritten one of the config files? (though I was never prompted for this)
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Matt
I think I found the problem.
Something in the update changed the /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service symlink to point to /lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service instead of the /etc/systemd/system/kodi.service as shown in the guide.
Going to reset the symlink back to the where it is in the guide, reboot and see if this fixes it.
