Kodi/xbmc

UGLee · 2016-02-18 22:39

Newbie that needs instruction as to how to install Kodi/xbmc tried to do the http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Ko … _or_Ubuntu but at end MAKE didn't work and sudo make install didn't work. Can someone instruct me in the process of installing this?

Install package 'kodi' from Synaptic package manager or run in terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install kodi

I ran the original apt-get install recommended in Post #2 above and kodi installed and worked properly for me.

now before I am told about the broken packages I have done the command from the wiki"

root@q4os-desktop:~#  sudo sh /usr/share/apps/q4os_system/bin/qapt_fix.sh
Waiting for package system to be released ..
Seems ready, will be checked once more.
Now safe ready.

Package system ok.
root@q4os-desktop:~#

that came from the wiki https://q4os.org/dqa011.html#system.1
where the other 2 commands all checked good and updated fully

so what would be the remedy? I see some can just get it installed via synaptic but I can do nothing

and before i closed the post i tried to install again via term

I'd like to run Q4OS more than i do but this flaw has me back to another system.

root@q4os-desktop:~# uname -a
Linux q4os-desktop 4.9.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u2~bpo8+1 (2017-06-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@q4os-desktop:~#

I updated the kernel when i installed to run my usb tv tuner dongle. It will only operate on a kernel 4.0 or above.

Looks like your system tries to install incompatible version of Kodi from the deb-multimedia repository, so you need to install it directly from backports repository. Run in terminal:
$ sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install kodi

An alternative way would be to remove 'deb-multimedia' repository from sources list. Edit an appropriate '.list' file in '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' directory and comment out lines:

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free

with leading '#' character. So the line will look as:

#deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free

After that, install kodi from terminal:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install kodi

Ok that took care of the Kodi Issue. I thank you. Now I have a few more issues with firmware so probably i should not ask here but I will. I can move it when told to where. After I install Kodi and even before I have been missing some realtek firmware as follows.

 Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-2.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-1.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-1.fw for module r8169

I have done a bit of digging such as links
https://www.google.com/search?q=rtl_nic … e&ie=UTF-8

https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/ … k/download

which way do i go from here?

You can install firmware-realtek from the repositories, that should solve that issue.
