Cannot install kodi ubuntu 16 amd64
#1
Hi All,

I cannot install kodi on ubuntu 14, 15 or 16, I have tried all and come up with the same problem. At present I am very fustrated having spent 2 days on this and multiple installs.

I am using vanilla installs of ubuntu 14, 15, 16 amd64 installed to USB using mulipule methods of the usb install. Once installed I do the following from a lot of research:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kodi

At which point it always errors with dependancy issues. I will post the dependancy issues on my next try.

Could someone provide me with the proven steps to install kodi on linux.

As a last comment, this should not be this hard and in now days times of fast and automated systems - I cannot explain how bad wasting this time is for software and linux adoption.

I forgot to mention, I also tried kodibuntu, however it booted once - then when I exited came up with errors. I rebooted and it would never boot up again. So I gave up on that idea. Also in the procedure I posted above, I have tried the command "sudo apt-get install software-properties-common" but this is always up to date.

Below is the output of the dependency problems, note this is on a standard laptop (with intel processor and was running windows 8 beforehand):

Read the first post in this thread http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231955

It gives you the packages you need to install. but you can skip the nightly and fernetmenta. that is only if you want to start dabble in v17 alpha's of Kodi.

Hi Laric,

Thankyou for the help on getting kodi working. The post worked and that is great. Thanks to the kodi developers who made the post (even though it is for v17 which is why I would have never tried it).

Is it possible to have the website http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux updated?

As expressed above, one of my main reasons staying off linux systems is the difficulty for getting applications working compared to windows. Yet in my job I am quite able and willing to work with linux and console technologies were a vendor has a refined process. E.g Cisco/hp switches, vmware just to name a few. I believe this is where the linux community needs to improve.

TL,DR: I'm trying (unsuccesfully) to install Kodi 16.1 on a new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installation (running on an Intel NUC).



I have run these commands:

sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:team-xbmc/kodi-old
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install kodi=2:16.1~git20160425.1001-final-0xenial kodi-bin=2:16.1~git20160425.1001-final-0xenial


When I run the last command (sudo apt-get install....), I get this output:

What am I doing wrong? My goal is to run Kodi 16.1 (and prevent any automatic updates that would update my Kodi to 17.x, 18.x, etc....

I must be incredibly dense, because when I click on that link (https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv...u/kodi-old ppa) I see a a page that tells me to use:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/kodi-old

However, that is the command that I'm already using. I must be missing something.

please install pastebinit on your system in case it´s not done already:

Code:
sudo apt-get install pastebinit

After that please get us the URL you will get from that command:

Code:
ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | pastebinit

Get us the following as well:

Code:
apt-cache policy kodi | pastebinit
and
Code:
apt-cache policy kodi-bin | pastebinit
and
Code:
apt-cache policy libcrossguid* | pastebinit

Mmh :-) Imisread the original post.

sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-bin should work fine then, without a version if ppa has built everything correctly.
