Linux Kodi (Flatpack) on my Debian not starts
#1
Hi,

first sorry for my english, i am a simple german guy.

My Notebook is an DELL 7480.

my System is a Debian 12 newest Version with a GNOME Classic.

The Kodi ist updated in the Background since a few days.

But it doesnt starts.

i click in the Startmenu on the Kodi but it doesnt start.

i don't know how i can start it at the terminal, i use the Flatpak Version of Kodi.

Can you help me?

Greeting, Steve

Well...

To run the Kodi flatpak version from the terminal you simply have to enter flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi (it's case sensitive)

You could also have a look at the logfile under: ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/temp/kodi.log

If you can't see much in it, you are able to enable debug logging via the start of Kodi with debugging enabled: flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi --debug

If you still can't see anything suspicious in the logs, feel free to share those logs to us: cat ~/.var/app/tv.kodi.Kodi/data/temp/kodi.log | nc termbin.com 9999 and get us the URL you will receive. 

Also please have a look if there are any Kodi crashlog-files present on your home-directory. Share those as well, if inspecting them doesn't help you.

glxinfo does not exist as an installation candidate

I asked the team. I'm absolutely not sure what the problem is. 

Looking at the last lines of the log, I see: 
Quote:025-01-09 13:52:57.873 T:7 info <general>: CApplication::CreateGUI - using the x11 windowing system
2025-01-09 13:52:57.873 T:7 info <general>: Checking resolution 16

2025-01-09 13:52:58.009 T:7 error <general>: GLX Error: vInfo is NULL!

From my understanding, Kodi tries to get egl display, failed and then tries to use GLX which also seems to fail. Not too sure if resetting Kodi might help. Hence I`m waiting for an answer from the team. 

Sorry

@_Steve_ : It looks like your X11 configuration isn't satisfying some of Kodis requirements:
 
  • Colour buffers need to be RGBA
  • Each colour has to be at least 8 bit
  • Double buffering needs to be used
  • The depth buffer needs at least 24 bit

Please share the output of xdpyinfo | nc termbin.com 9999

I'm having exactly the same problem(and exactly the same error message):

Workaround for now is to revert to latest working commit:

Code:
sudo flatpak update --commit=da372968f1f7a0d0cd7dcbf79d301e7c4cd7eecf99c94c252a2820a2beec376e tv.kodi.Kodi
