Kodi segfaulting at startup after upgrading to latest AMDGPU on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
#1
After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS, I had to upgrade to the latest AMDGPU-Pro driver. Other programs like Steam seem to find and use the driver OK, but Kodi can't--it segfaults on startup and the log doesn't seem very helpful. I tried doing an apt-get reinstall for the kodi package but doesn't seem to have had an effect. Is there anything in the crashlog that stands out for anybody? The stack trace is empty.

Thanks in advance, this has been bugging me all day!

We don't support this driver. Please use the OSS drivers.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

 OSS driver doesn't support audio over HDMI which I need for my HTPC setup. AMDGPU-Pro has supported EGL since 17.20, if that's what you're referring to--I used to be able to use 17.20 perfectly with 16.04.2, but ever since Ubuntu made the HWE Stack the default it has broken everything.

Your log is neither a Debug Log nor is gdb installed - therefore help is unlikely. Out of historical reasons (google xvba) team kodi has no intention to implement yet another workaround for blobs. Also 17.6 is not to be changed. If you want to use the proprietary driver in the future, try to get a gdb backtrace from version 18 - you can install it via kodi's ppa.
