Yeah - I'd go towards debian, especially as the kitty terminal is also affected from the same issue.

That is what I am doing the last few days. The maintainer asked me to install the debug symbols for libc6 and kodi and post a new strace.
The problem is that apt can find libc6-dbg but not the equivalent one for kodi, kodi-bin-dbgsym, althought it does exist here
https://packages.debian.org/sid/kodi-bin-dbgsym

As for troubleshooting the current situation, I found this kodi enviromental variable: KODI_GL_INTERFACE. But starting kodi with 

Code:

$ export KODI_GL_INTERFACE=GLES
$ kodi

returns the same error. I think this is the closest I can get to qt5's behavior that makes the apps launch with the qt5gui gles package.

And that's all for today. I have some health issues since 12 hours ago (possibly post-covid ones, again) and I may visit the hospital later, so please excuse any delays in answering. Thank you for your understanding.

shell:


echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-debug sid-debug main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sid-debug.list

apt-get update

apt-get install kodi-bin-dbgsym

Replace sid with whichever debian you use, ie bookworm, bullseye etc.

I think I found something...
Earlier, I was searching my distro's package to see if they provide a .service file for systemd. And I came accross this
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/kodi-bin/filelist

That lib on line 4 means that kodi 20 demands a cpu with sse4 instruction set? That was the first thing I thought, but then I noticed that its older versions also have that lib, e.g. 19.1 and 19.4 from stable and stable-backports respectively.

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye-bac...n/filelist

---edit
And I just tested le11b1 which came out yesterday and comes with kodi 20. Kodi launches with no issues. I even installed its terminal "addon" to check if it really uses nvidia and not nouveau, and it does use nvidia!

[jim_p]

As it seems, I am not the only one facing issues with kodi 20 on nvidia 340
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=371747
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/22491

So, apart from my forementioned question about which opengl version is required by kodi 20, I have a new one. How can I tell if kodi tries to use wayland? Because all those wayland libs made me anxious

---edit
(deleted because I already mentioned le above)

[jim_p]

Here is THE log of libreelec 11b1, in case anyone finds something useful in it. It contains kodi's log and journalctl stuff.
http://ix.io/4ntd

The only useful thing I found in there is this bit
 

Code:

Feb 08 16:01:14.698463 le11 xorg-launch[929]: ================ WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ================
Feb 08 16:01:14.698463 le11 xorg-launch[929]: This server has a video driver ABI version of 25.2 that this

but this is old news. The workaround for making nvidia legacy work with xorg 21.x is to add 
 

Code:

Option "IgnoreABI" "1"

and it exists for a year now, since Febryary 2022. It also comes "preinstalled" with nvidia 340 on debian since then.

---edit
I just noticed that the log shows my public ip, and in TWO lines! Removing things like that should be allowed by the rules and it should not qualify as deduction!

[jim_p]

As some manjaro user suggested in the relevant issue on github, launching kodi like so

Code:

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/libGL.so.1 kodi

works. On my end though, it still pops these in the terminal

Code:

[W][05047.389255] pw.conf      | [          conf.c:  939 try_load_conf()] can't load config client.conf: No such file or directory
[E][05047.389421] pw.conf      | [          conf.c:  963 pw_conf_load_conf_for_context()] can't load default config client.conf: No such file or directory

but I do not think they are something important.

[fritsch]

Those are not imprtant but caused by pipewire "highjacking" the pulseaudio sink of kodi.

[jim_p]

I use neither pipewire, nor pulseaudio. Just plain alsa, since ever.
And alsa's outputs are listed inside kodi too, there is nothing related to pw or pa because I do not have them installed.

[fritsch]

Okay. Great if stuff is working great.

[jim_p]

I removed the "Debian 6.1" part from the title because, as seen in the relevant issue report on github, it is neither a debian nor a kernel (and probably not a kodi) issue.

[jim_p]

Time to put the padlock on this one. As it seems, the issue will be fixed on 20.2 because of this change.
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/23226

[jim_p]

Finally, today's release of 20.2 fixed the issue. Please lock the thread.
