kodi.service fails on boot

_pheinrich_ · 2015-10-18 08:10:33

Hi,

I have set up my new HTPC and installed kodi. Everything is good so far.
I have not installed a DE.

After that I have installed the kodi-standalone-service from AUR.
Starting that with

sudo systemctl start kod

brings up kodi. But enabling it and restarting the machine does not work.
I get some X lines flickering and see a login prompt.

I dont know if it has to do with the "systemd-logind" error showing up. Maybe the automatic login process is failing?

The reason is Xorg can't find a driver.
You have nvidia-340xx-utils, nvidia-340xx-libgl and nvidia-340x installed?
Did you rebuild your initramfs with 'mkinitcpio -P'? Perhaps the nouveau module doesn't get blacklisted properly.

Hey thanks for your reply.

I have a nvidia GTX 260 and if I start the xserver via startx I get the default 3 windows of xorg-twm.

And yes the nvidia packages are installed

[root@ARCH_MEDIA ~]# pacman -Qs nvidia
local/libvdpau 1.1.1-1
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia-340xx 340.93-3
    NVIDIA drivers for linux, 340xx legacy branch
local/nvidia-340xx-libgl 340.93-1
    NVIDIA drivers libraries symlinks
local/nvidia-340xx-utils 340.93-1
    NVIDIA drivers utilities
local/opencl-nvidia-340xx 340.93-1
    OpenCL implemention for NVIDIA

I will try rebuilding the initramfs

----------------------
Edit 1

I have tested the kodi.service with my laptop (Intel i7 HD3000 only) and everything was working.
On this laptop KDE is installed. Maybe I am missing some dependency.

The other idea is that my mainboard (asus p8h77-m le) is causing the problem.
There are two grafic options. The onboard i5 and the PCIe one.
I am using the PCIe one (nvidia) but maybe xinit has some trouble to decide and fails.

On the other hand "startx" successfully brings up an xorg-twm session

Do I have to install bumblebee?

Anybody?

-----------------------
Edit 2

Now I have remove the nvidia stuff and installed xf86-video-intel using my i5 HD3000 grafic.
With that setup the kodi.service is comming up.

Now I need to know why xinit fails with the nvidia driver.
