Hello How to start the Kodi GUI ?

I installed kodi ( sudo snap install mir-kiosk-kodi ) onto Ubuntu 22.04 desktop. and enabled the daemon ( snap set mir-kiosk-kodi daemon=true ). Wayland should already be running for this version of Ubuntu.

Thanks

I found the application start for kodi

But now it crashes, see attached crash log. kodi_crashlog-20230608_172305.log

@amodster if you want it to run as a daemon, you also need a Wayland compositor running as root, try this:

On your desktop, just start mir-kiosk-kodi, but unless you're actually interested in running it as a daemon, you may be better off with the debs.

I'll close for now, will reopen if we find something is actually wrong.
