kodi won't run on ubuntu after installing latest version - doug9forester - 2021-07-02

I installed the latest version of kodi on my ubuntu system using terminal:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends kodi
The installed went smoothly. However, the gnome icon for kodi 17.6 disappeared.

I tried starting kodi from a terminal and it said kodi was not installed. So I "sudo apt install kodi" and it said version 19.1 is installed.

I found kodi.desktop in /usr/share/applications. When I "open" it I get a popup saying "There was an error launching the application".

How do I fix this?
