I'm running Ubuntu 16 and i can't get kodi to start.

When i click on kodi i get a black screen and then back to the desktop.

I have installed kodi from ubuntu software center and terminal and the same thing happens.I look in the system monitor to make sure its not running in the back grand (its not).

any help would be appreciated.

FYI: Next time, please upload any logs to a pastbin-like website, it will unburden our forum database.

As far as Ubuntu 16.04.3 goes, Kodi 17.4 runs fine here.
Try renaming your .kodi folder and let Kodi recreate a fresh session at its restart.
Is this all using the internal Intel GPU? Using 1 monitor?

Why the OS amd driver? i just upgraded my 16.2 to 17.4 on ubuntu 16.4.1 and have the same issue and i am using the Radeon drivers as this machine is also mining Eth so the OS AMD driver is not an option.

With Kodi 16 it ran fine with the AMD radeon drivers. Why not 17. sounds like ill have to downgrade if i want to mine and also use this for Kodi when working in the garage.

dmesg log points to the AMD Radeon drivers.

Same thing here, same GPU, driver and result in dmesg. Seems it's not really being paid attention to,
Is it the driver or something else? Can we provide kodi team with more info, I'd be glad to. I want to use amd's drivers as the OS drivers suck badly.

Use a sane driver, namely the OSS drivers - we don't support that other binary mess. Which drivers suck you directly see in above log.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
