hello, thanks for your job, i have install this snap in my debian 11, but when i try to start the snap. it show the follow error: WARNING: network-observe interface not connected! Please run: /snap/mir-kiosk-kodi/current/bin/setup.sh

and after i execute this: /snap/mir-kiosk-kodi/current/bin/setup.sh the snap show this:

Setting up watches. Watches established.

and nothing more happend. ¿Any idea what is wrong?

Nothing is wrong, it is waiting for a Wayland compositor to start

joluruba commented 1 year ago

But my linux work fine, Is there any necessary requirement, for it to work this snap ?

AlanGriffiths commented 1 year ago

Yes, it needs a Wayland compositor: Principally Ubuntu Frame. But GNOME/Wayland (for example also works)

I can see that the mir-kiosk-kodi description doesn't make this clear and needs updating. (I'll do that later today)

Are you interested in this specific snap, which is designed for an embedded environment?

Or are you trying to use Kodi on an X11 desktop environment? In that case, you might simply want to install from archive, or from the team-xbmc PPA.

Thanks, for your time, currently Iam using kodi on an X11 desktop environment with mate, but I have some problems with some plugins like Luar and Palantir2, then im looking for an alternative for sulition this, for this im using this snap but I have the problem described in this post. If i use Mate, what i need to install???

AlanGriffiths commented 1 year ago

I don't know anything about the state of Kodi in Debian, so I can't help with that.

I don't think MATE supports Wayland at present (although many of it's desktop components do already)

The simplest way of getting this snap running on an X11 environment:

snap install --classic frame-it
snap install ubuntu-frame
frame-it mir-kiosk-kodi

But none of this is a problem with mir-kiosk-kodi, so I'll close the issue
