Banana Pi M1+ - not seeing OpenGL / unable to run Kodi

copytco · January 11, 2017

Hi, I am totally new to Linux, but already managed to run OMV on my Banana Pi M1+ with Plex and other services I wanted on Armbian.

Now I tried to run Kodi, so it could serve me both as NAS and HTPC. Firstly, I have installed xorg, then lightdm and set it up for autologin, which is working correctly. Then, I have installed Kodi 16 from git, but only gray box appears and then vanishes and screen stays black.

My first impression was it is lacking GL drivers, so I have followed this tutorial: https://forum.armbian.com/index. ... pi-orangepi-pc-etc/, tested and everything seemed to be ok. I installed Emilia Pinball to check additionally - it renders correctly.

Still, when I try to run Kodi it is gray screen, then black. I have opened Kodi log and I have found that, indeed, it does not see driver/device?

After this message, it is constantly repeating those, untill I close SSH connection.

I have installed drivers using normal user with sudo and I run Kodi as root using:
