Post subject:  R8.2 and Kodi
I have recently updated from 8.1 to 8.2 by the iso method. Everything went well and I was easily able to get all my customisations (xorg, remote, etc.) working as before.

One of the reasons for the upgrade was that I wanted to use kodi for playing music. To install I checked the xbmc box in the Service Menu>Linhes Settings>Programs and Kodi appeared on the Media Library menu but when I click it nothing happens. I tried typing kodi in a terminal and immediately get
Code:
/usr/bin/kodi/kodi.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Sure enough when I go looking for libGLU I cannot find it. Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need to try and install these dependencies manually?

Open a bugreport; needs to be rebuilt against glu.

OK. Raised as Bug #995.

Kodi was built against glu but it can't find it on your system for some reason. Kodi, requires glew which requires glu so it should be on your system. What do you get from
Code:
sudo pacman -Ss glew
sudo pacman -Ss glu


Try reinstalling glew:
Code:
sudo pacman -S glew

Results as follows
Code:
[mythtv@silverstone ~]$ sudo pacman -Ss glew
extra/glew 1.11.0-1 [installed]
    The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library
[mythtv@silverstone ~]$ sudo pacman -Ss glu
core/freeglut 2.8.0-1 [installed]
    Provides functionality for small OpenGL programs
core/libgssglue 0.3-1 [installed]
    Exports a gssapi interface which calls other random gssapi libraries
core/perl-crypt-ssleay 0.58-4 [installed]
    OpenSSL glue that provides LWP https support
extra/glu 9.0.0-2 [installed]
    Mesa OpenGL Utility library
Note that as well as the working box I also have the same version in virtualbox on another machine and it had identical results.

On the virtual machine I ran the sudo pacman -S glew and it did not require an update of glu but seemed to do an update to glew although the final version was 1.11.0-1 as listed above.

Running kodi now gives an error saying it can't find libcdio.so.16.

Do I just keep trying to update these packages as I get errors?

Curiosity got the better of me and I started trying to solve it on my virtual machine since I can always go back to a snapshot.

"sudo pacman -S libcdio" did upgrade from 0.92-1 to 0.93-1.

kodi then returned
"/usr/lib/libva.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin) and
"/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version 'GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by /usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin).

"sudo pacman -S libva" did update from 1.016-1 to 1.5.0-1.

kodi returned the same libstdc++ message.

"sudo pacma -Ss libstdc++" gave nothing, and "sudo pacman -S libstdc++" gave target not found.

There I stoppped.

I just realized that you said you are on R8.2. Kodi wasn't added until R8.3 and was built against all the updated libs with that. For any hope of Kodi working you need to update to R8.3.

I assume XBMC worked in 8.2 at some time. When I selected XBMC it installed Kodi. Does that mean XBMC is longer available and cannot be installed as such?

You would need to change your repos to core.r8.2 and extra.r8.2 if you want to stay on on R8.2. And xbmc in in the extra.r8.2 repo.

Post subject:  Re: R8.2 and Kodi
I just tried changing the repositories. The installation of XBMC fails due to unresolved dependencies.
"python2-pybluez", a dependency of "kodi"
"python2-simplejson", a dependency of "kodi"
"python2-libmariadbclient", a dependency of "kodi"

It appears it is still looking for kodi.

I guess I will just have to think about upgrading to 8.3.

With the previous updates you tried you are half way between R8.2 and R8.3. So you need to reinstall the things you already upgraded, remove Kodi and then do a pacman -Syyy to make sure you have the new repo in sync. Then install xbmc. pacman -S xbmc

I think an iso install of 8.3 might be cleaner and safer. Looking at the forums I do not see many people having problems with 8.3.

Post subject:  Re: R8.2 and Kodi
the only problems I have heard about are with old video cards. It's a safe upgrade.

Post subject:  Re: R8.2 and Kodi
I had read about other peoples problems with 8.3 which is why I was bit reluctant, but looking back at the posts it doesn't seem so bad.

Is my Gigabyte GT220 considered an old video card?

Post subject:  Re: R8.2 and Kodi
When I upgrade to 8.3 what is the best method to ensure I remove the Kodi I have installed? On a virtual machine I used the command line approach as described in the wiki installation instructions and it seemed to work fine.
Is it better just to uncheck XBMC in the Service Menu?
Do I still have to remove kodi if I use the iso method? The instructions are not specific about this.
