Dietpi: Kodi Fails to Start

[joshuamcginnis]

I just installed Kodi from a fresh image using dietpi-software. On reboot, I attempted to start kodi and got the following errors:

/usr/local/bin/kodi: 15: /usr/local/bin/kodi: cannot create /root/.config/pulse/client.conf: Directory nonexistent
/usr/local/bin/kodi: 18: /usr/local/bin/kodi: pulseaudio: not found
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
Segmentation fault
rm: cannot remove ‘/root/.config/pulse/client.conf’: No such file or directory

Thanks for the report.

Odroid C2?

Can you please attach Xorg log?:

cat /var/log/Xorg.log

@Fourdee

Yup, Odroid C2. Also, cat: /var/log/Xorg.log: No such file or directory.

Also, cat: /var/log/Xorg.log: No such file or directory.

Strange, possibly this hasn't been installed.

Could you please send us a bug report, after you receive this error?

It will contain all logs and installed software, should help us find the cause.

Thanks, looks fine.

I've noticed you are not using the dietpi-autostart feature to launch kodi, how are you trying to launch Kodi from command line?

Try running the command, this basically runs xinit kodi, creating an instance of X for Kodi:

startkodi

Xorg.log doesn't exist, if the issue occurs with the above, the log file should be generated, try pasting the results again:

cat /var/log/Xorg.log

[joshuamcginnis]

I was attempting to start via kodi. startkodi seems to work just fine; though, I'm not sure how I would have know that! Anywho, seems like we can close this one if you'd like.

No worries, online doc has this info: http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5#p43

I'll mark as closed.

Thanks as always.
