Cannot find display devices
#1
Hey guys, 
I'm new here so please let me know if I'm posting it in the wrong sub-form etc.
I have a media center PC running arch (updated yesterday) with kodi (kodi-standalone-service installed through AUR). It has been running fine for the last 2 months but recently it hanged while playback a few times and each time the host went completely down (couldn't even SSH), it always happened whenever I would pause a video for sometime. Anyway, I would basically do a hard restart and it would be fine, however after the very last hard restart kodi is not starting up anymore. It seems that it can't find any devices to start the GUI session anymore. I haven't done any custom changes to the xorg files etc, everything is done being the kodi-standalone-service. Here are the logs:

seems no X-server is started. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for possible errors. Also read https://github.com/graysky2/kodi-standalone-service for more info.

Then please continue here: https://github.com/graysky2/kodi-standalone-service <- it details which packages / configuration is needed
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Actually, the developer of that plugin suggested to post the issue here. Maybe wait a bit before he responds before opening an issue at the github repo.

Actually this is not the arch support channel :-) We cannot really help you to properly setup your xserver which is a pre requirement for kodi. And if kodi does not start you should have a crashlog in your home directory.

Duly noted Wink
But I'm just trying to get some help from somewhere. I do have xorg installed, just don't have that log file. If you please have a look at the new log file you'll see that the devices are indeed being detected and maybe you can point me to a solution or it's general direction. Or any other debugging info I can get to reduce the possible causes. Thanks

If these guys see nothing related to Kodi, let's take it to the Arch BBS.
Need help programming a Streamzap remote?
