Hello,
I updated to last Ubuntu version, and installed nvdia 340 from nvidia.com.
I have tryed with kodi inside Ubuntu official and with ppa, but I have the same problem: when start kodi-bin use 100% of CPU, and was very slowly also when navigate into the menu.
Regards

No Debug Log - no issue.

You miss proper GPU drivers. Everything currently is CPU accelerated -> so quite clear the 100% load. You miss the nvidia proprietary drivers.

This configuration that was missing, is inside kodi or xorg? I have already checked the xorg conf file file, and the is the nvdia driver specified.

Do you think I can install the nouveau driver?

It's in Ubuntu - has nothing to do with kodi. No proper hw acceleration - no nicely running kodi.

No...

Add the ppa from here: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/...ubuntu/ppa

and install the driver you need.

Hello,

i have an update, I write here, so other user may solve the problem if has a same problem.

I installed dkms package and I reinstalled nvidia driver, now the cpu usage seems less than before.
(Now I'm out of my home, and I can't try to play some video).

After this installation my kodi logs says:
10:16:27 T:139763826989440 NOTICE: GL_VENDOR = NVIDIA Corporation
10:16:27 T:139763826989440 NOTICE: GL_RENDERER = ION/PCIe/SSE2
10:16:27 T:139763826989440 NOTICE: GL_VERSION = 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.96

I have used the nvidia source driver (340.96), because the one included in ubuntu have too many dipendences, I don't want to install all desktop packages.

I must use the 340 driver, because is the only compatible with my video card.

Looks good.

You would have got the same thing while installing the drivers from the PPA I mentioned above. But if that works for you all is fine

--no-install-recommends as option to apt-get will help.

--no-install-recommends as option to apt-get will help.

I didn't know this option, it's very good!

When I come back to home I can try to install the ubuntu nvidia driver, so the system is too easy to manage and update.

I report here the command for eventually other users:

Code:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-340 --no-install-recommends
