I have ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS running. I went ahead and installed flatpak and then the flathub repository. The install of of kodi went by without errors.
However when I tried "flatpak run tv.kodi.Kodi" kodi  crashed. The output of the terminal can be viewed here: https://paste.kodi.tv/himumepoyu
The crashlog can be found here: https://paste.kodi.tv/ahacewihuy.kodi
Any help on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like no GPU is found:

Code:


2024-04-09 20:57:07.558 T:7 info <general>: GL_RENDERER = llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.7, 256 bits)


What GPU do you have? If it's Nvidia you probably have to install the org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia flatpak runtime. And I believe it has to match the drivers on your host system? Not sure about that, I don't have Nvidia

Also, from the logs it looks like you are running as root. I probably wouldn't do that, instead use your regular user or a dedicated one. Note that this user needs to be in the input group and you probably want to launch flatpak with --filesystem=/run/udev:ro. See also https://github.com/flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi/issues/228

And https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid3191244 maybe interests you as well in case you want to run Kodi as a service.

thank you for your quick reply. I think I reacted a little too quickly and made a crucial mistake. shouldn't do this late at night. Actually everything is fine..I tried starting kodi via my terminal session. You see, my synapses weren't firing right.
On the other hand, I now have two version of Kodi available to me....I guess for now I will uninstall one of them. I guess I will not be able to perform an upgrade from Matrix to Omega, since Omega is  flatpak only, right?
