 Posted: Sat Jul 06, 2024 12:36 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Kodi can no longer be started using startx |
 |
|
Hi there,
I have computer that I mostly use as a server. Every once in while I use it as a media center and to that end I have Kodi installed. It seems that some update in the past few weeks has broken my setup . I wasn't able to start Kodi anymore. Working through the Xserver logs, I noticed some errors which I was able to fix by re-configuring and re-compiling my kernel.
I have verfied that the Xserver is working by
| Code: |
emerge -1av xclock xterm twm
|
and invoking startx without a custom .xinitrx. This works without a problem.
However I am unable to start Kodi in that way.
The contents of my ~/.xinitrc atm are:
| Code: |
exec kodi >> ~/foo.log 2>&1
|
Invoking startx starts the X-server but immediately shuts it down after a fraction of a second.
The Xorg log file can be found here:
https://bpa.st/4KHA
foo.log contains a single line
| Code: |
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
|
The Kodi log file (~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log) gives more information:

So there seem to be some issues with file permissions along with this line

2024-07-06 01:38:32.784 T:12544 critical <general>: CApplication::CreateGUI - unable to init windowing system

I'm using the `default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr (stable)` profile.
Does anyone have any idea about the proper way to resolve these issues?
Thanks in advance for your efforts!

| Ah, never-mind. I was able to solve the problem a few hours later. Apparently, the USE flags for kodi changed some time ago. Activating the X useflag again solved the issue for me. |
