exe · 2017-06-27 12:03:42

I've tried installing kodi, which is supposedly in the backports and the interface is unmanageable.

well, With 'gksudo kodi' I got it started well

where is the problem ?

That is a strange one, on my system there is no need for root rights to run Kodi as far as i am aware.

Edit: Just downloaded and installed Kodi from backports on my laptop and have no issue. I use Bunsenlabs on both laptop and media center pc. Dell optiplex 780 mini tower has working Kodi i use everyday. Laptop i dont need it on but thought i would test.

Maybe try removing and installing again, see if that works?

Method to install should be sudo

apt-get install -t jessie-backports kodi

16.1 version ?

@exe: please post the full output of:

LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy kodi

For the record, the backported kodi package works fine in my Debian jessie system and it gets a *lot* of testing.

Also, you should *never* run graphical applications as root if you can avoid it at all.

You have installed a(n older) version from deb-multimedia and they have for some bizarre reason added an epoch to the version number so that APT sees it as newer than the jessie-backports package.

I would strongly recommend removing the kodi package you have installed:

sudo apt purge kodi

Then remove the deb-multimedia repository, it has been known to cause problems in Debian systems and the BunsenLabs developers do not recommend it's usage.

Once your sources are cleansed, update the package database and install kodi from jessie-backports:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -t jessie-backports kodi

so... i have the same problem :S

but now with 'gksudo kodi' closed

That's how it looks kodi http://i.imgur.com/NXMmKCA.png

I think it does not get completely uninstalled, since I still see repos and addons broken, since before I had the version 14.2 and now installs the 16.1

exe · 2017-06-27 22:52:19

eeeeeeeeey, solved !!

The .kodi folder with all my outdated settings had not been removed

thanks for your time !!

If you want a Kodi 17.3 that won't have the problems that deb-multimedia is prone to cause, it's in my own multimedia repo: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=127574

Be aware that the default skin changes yet again, but you can always just install and switch back to your favorite one.

Thank you for the positive review! I forgot to mention that you very probably should disable my repo after installing whatever you need from it. As far as I know, upgrading everything in it shouldn't cause any problems, but you never know. I spent some time with that repo yesterday, updating the development version of gimp to 2.9.117 and fixing everything that was refusing to build on the Stretch platform. The new version of gimp required that I port over an newer libglib2.0 from jessie-backports into the repo to build it successfully on Jessie.
