Linux HOW TO: Minimal Ubuntu 16.04 with Kodi, Steam & EmulationStation

@Nickelino

as i am coming from Kodibuntu i never used Unity on this box, but how about an other desktop environment? Ubuntu-Mate is the one i prefer on my Desktop-Machine.

Code:
sudo apt-get install xf86-video-intel lib32-mesa-libgl lib32-libva-intel-driver
was from steam-forum and didn't work. I just copied not before used lines from my bash-history. So sorry for this.

Have you tried setting up nfs in kodi instead of directly through ubuntu?
I use my samba-shares via kodi. I haven't set them up in fstab because of the same hanging you get via nfs. Using them in kodi is so uncomplicated please try if this also applies to nfs and give me reply.

BTW:
I solved the kodi not restarting thing with a simple bash-script
Code:
vi /home/kodi/check_running_processes.sh
and insert
Code:
i can't post it because of cloudflare   Cloudflare Ray ID: 32a75d0f147563c7

bash script to monitor 3 processes ...
use post #6 with -gt "0" instead of -lt "3" and set the kodi start command in the else statement. I also set the DISPLAY-variable to make sure kodi starts on screen 0


It grep's for the number of my watched processes and it does not start kodi if the number is greater than zero.
Now run it every 30secs via
Code:
crontab -e
and add
Code:
* * * * * /home/kodi/check_running_processes.sh
* * * * * sleep 30;/home/kodi/check_running_processes.sh
at the end and kodi will be restarted if no monitored processes are running with acceptable waiting time

cya
