Sorry, if already asked, but the search function and browsing the forum didn't help me.
First of all I have to mention that I am a Linux noob and that English is not my native language.
But now to my question:
I really would like to know how I can open Kodi from within a terminal. Kodi is loaded automatically at systemstart. Normally I won't see the Linux GUI at all. But sometimes it happens that Kodi terminates and that I see the Linux GUI. In this case I would like to start Kodi from within a terminal app (Termius it is called), which is installed on my iPhone, because there is neither a mouse nor a keyboard connected to my HTPC. I have no clue at all how to do it. When I start terminal app, I am in the home directory of the Kodi user. Unfortunately running the command "kodi" won't start Kodi. It only gives me the error message:
That's weird because there is no kodi-gbm in that directory.
But it would be nice, if it were that easy to start Kodi.
Can someone tell me, how to do it? As a workaround I always run the command
in Termius, but that's not the way I would like it to have.
My System:
Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia x64
KODI Leia 18.6
KODI is installed using the official repository "ppa:team-xbmc/ppa"
