Kodi failing to start
-
For some strange reason, Kodi is failing to start after I installed few packages.
Kodi log: http://pastebin.com/WX7EttSj
thanks in advance.
-
What exactly did you install ? From the log it seems that you installed incompatible versions of some dependencies, or some were removed.
-
@Rascas I had installed lxde desktop environment, then uninstalled it as well....
-
Did you enable opengl acceleration from raspi-config?
-
You must have done something else and probably was what BuZz said, the OpenGL driver. Disable it has it won't work with Kodi, ES and most of the emulators.
-
Interestingly, ES and most emulators work fine, only Kodi is causing trouble.
Btw, is this is right version of kodi for Retropie (installed through Retropi-Setup)
5:14.2+repack-dmo1b2
Also, raspi-config --> Advanced Options --> GL driver - menu is giving me error "xcompmgr not found - please install", I hope this is expected.
-
No, that is the Debian version made for x86 running OpenGL. Hence that errors in the log.
Are you sure you are using a RetroPie image ? If so you just need to follow the instructions on the wiki to install Kodi. And don't enable the OpenGL driver, it will not work.
-
Ok, that gave me pointer to look for what x86 packages I had on the system, looks like mesa-utils as from www.deb-multimedia.org was causing all the problem.
Removed the foolishly incorrect repo, RetroPie-Setup --> Install Kodi worked perfectly.
