Going from Ubuntu 16.04 and Kodi 17.6 to Ubuntu 22.04 and Kodi 19.4 - Salamandro - 2022-06-09 Hi all I've kinda left my media center (Intel NUC) sitting around and now I find myself with a quite old Ubuntu LTS 16.04 / Kodi 17.6 and I'm looking for an upgrade path. It's been ages since I installed this system, so I have no idea what steps I took to set it up. Some things I remember:
Thanks in advance! RE: Going from Ubuntu 16.04 and Kodi 17.6 to Ubuntu 22.04 and Kodi 19.4 - Klojum - 2022-06-09 The basics of Kodi do not differ very much when going from 16.04 to 22.04. The biggest hurdle might be the Aeon Flux skin. I would disable it and have the default skin (Confluence) ready to be replaced with the current Estuary. If you still use the same monitor/TV, then the guisettings.xml file won't need much adjusting. The AVR workings are not really my department. Copying the whole Kodi profile folder is a good idea alone for backup purposes already.

I upgraded first to 16.04, then to 18.04. I did anticipate at least some haywire, espescially with SystemD replacing Upstart. But it fokn worked like magic. So you could try this unless your ocd requires a fresh install. RE: Going from Ubuntu 16.04 and Kodi 17.6 to Ubuntu 22.04 and Kodi 19.4 - DaVu - 2022-06-13 Please be aware, that *buntu 22.04 seems to ship python 3.10 which could cause problems. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/21544 Ubuntu 20.04 still has support until 2025. I would recommend to use that instead. |
