Hello,

I am trying to install kodi on linux mint 17.2,

but when i run

sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-bin

i get the following output

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kodi-bin : Depends: libavfilter5 (>= 10:2.6.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavformat56 (>= 10:2.6.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libjpeg62-turbo (>= 1.3.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libpcre3 (>= 1:8.35) but 1:8.31-2ubuntu2.1 is to be installed
Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.9) but 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

does anybody know how to fix this?

Thank you in advance!

Edit: Perhaps I should mention that i have followed what is shown here http://kodi.wiki/view/Installing_XBMC_for_Linux

seems you have incorrect PPAs/repos active

Code:

apt-cache policy kodi

[Driver 944]

I use Mint 17.2 this is how I installed it -

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi


(copy and paste 1 line at a time to make sure you get it right)

Thank you guys!

I restored my sources to default and reinstalled it by Drivers method and it worked.

Hi There,

I'm also running Mint 17.3. I tried installing from the WIKI pages command list for Ubuntu based distro and also tried from the command from Driver 944 and when I run from the command line I get to see the following error;

ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting

I am running from within a Parallels VM. I gave the video card 256MB and the system 8GB with 2 cpu.

Regards,

Louis

Additional Info: I tried on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM setup the same way and I get the same error.

No 3D support - no kodi. No support for VMs, you are on your own.
