Starting Kodi - confusion
#1
Greetings!

I'm developing an interface based on Kodi. Currently, doing R&D in Virtualbox. Guest is Debian Jessie x64, on a Windows 7 host.

I've compiled kodi (v15).

I have some confusion about how/when kodi should be started.

When I try to start kodi from the command line, without any X server running, I get this output:
Code:
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
Segmentation fault

If I am in an X session already, then Kodi loads.

I have a raspberry pi that runs kodi without needing X loaded first. So, without much experience, I am not sure what's going on here.

I was able to produce what I am looking for by launching kodi from .xession, it's just not what I was expecting.

Any input appreciated!

xserver is a requirement for Kodi on Linux desktop.
