Any thoughts?

I'm seeing the same problem on my system, normal Ubuntu running XBMC/Kodi.

What version of Kodibuntu are you running at the moment? It seems libsdl2 is not available in any release prior to 14.04, and I am still on 12.04 because the onboard graphics card in my little Acer Revo is not supported proerly by 14.04's window manager. It warns me when I try to install it.

[magnumk]

I'm running 12.04... so thats the problem then.

[mr.sparkle]

Doing it this way will still have the system boot straight into Kodi?

[wsnipex]

missing packages in 12.04 and 14.10 are fixed.

Thanks! Now it works fine!
Keep up the good work!

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install kodi kodi-bin

Did that and get this:

kodi-bin is already the newest version.
kodi-bin set to manually installed.
kodi is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I'm on Helix RC 3.
When I perform

Code:

sudo apt-get update

I get

Code:

Err http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty InRelease

Err http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release.gpg

Any chance to update to Helix 14.0?

Edit: I performed
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
before trying to update, is this still correct or do i have to enter
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-kodi/ppa
?

[wsnipex]

thats a network or launchpad issue. Just try again.

[Protheon]

I tried that 5 or 6 times yesterday, just tried again without success.
Pinging ppa.launchpad.net from my Kodi-HTPC as well as from another machine results in a request time-out.

Edit: Restarted my Fritz!Box, now it worked - thanks!

When I upgraded XBMCBuntu to Kodibuntu Kodi did not start automatically. I had to make a change in the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Change the line:

Code:

user-session=XBMC

To:

Code:

user-session=kodi

Then restart lightdm:

Code:

$ sudo service lightdm restart

There will be a nice Kodi welcome screen on your monitor
