Expected: Kodi will start without X server or Wayland. Factual: Kodi throws "ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting". kodi.log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QFkR9TQ6f3/.
Werner Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Might be an issue with Kodi then. Therefore userspace issue and moved to p2p.
ilyaigpetrov Posted September 20, 2020 Author Posted September 20, 2020 Who is responsible for apt packages and how they are compiled? Does Armbian has some own PPA in addition to the official Ubuntu repositories?

Solution ilyaigpetrov Posted October 2, 2020 Author Solution Posted October 2, 2020 Kodi standalone is not the same as Kodi with GBM. Kodi GBM is used to launch Kodi without graphical server (X11 or Wayland). Kodi can't be compiled with support of all the windowing systems in one binary, so there are separate packages for each case in the OS repositories. The right commands to install and launch Kodi without X11 on Focal on Orange Pi PC: ```sh-session sudo apt install kodi sudo apt intsall kodi-gbm /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/kodi/kodi-gbm ``` The current issue I have on my orange pi pc board is the absence of sound over hdmi but that's a different problem.
